With stripes of blue ink snaking across his face and neck and then disappearing under the collar of his shirt before bursting into the open from under the cuffs, he is a poster boy for his profession.
Skitch, the only name he wants the public to know, exhibits pride and confidence in his designer skin.
Comfortably perched atop a stool in Graffixx Tattoo, a parlor just two blocks from the White House, he talks about his obsession with" body art", which, in his view, is winning the souls of the New Age generation as well as overall public acceptance.
"It’s definitely more popular than when I started out about 10 years ago," he said as a flash of sunshine danced on a big pin piercing the skin between his eyes. "People who wouldn’t even think about having a tattoo then have them.
There are no official statistics beating Skitch out. But evidence that tattoos are growing more popular is abundant on beaches, in health clubs and on the streets when summertime clothes reveal roses, mermaids and increasingly more sophisticated ornaments on shoulders, ankles and other body parts.
As far as Skitch is concerned, he is tiding the wave of the future.
The revenue of a tattoo parlor he co-owned in Minneapolis, Minnesota between 1997 and 1999 grew 60 percent in its second year of operation, he said.
"We would have made even more, if we operated in some southern resort towns, like Orlando; Daytona Beach or in southern California," he said.
It is woman, he said, who is increasing numbers driving the body art boom. "If ten years ago only 40 percent of our clients requiring tattoos were women, now they make up 50 percent," notes Skitch. "For body piercing, it’s 80 percent."
Not so long ago, tattoo parlors were found in back rooms of seedy port city bars and catered to visiting sailors and city toughs.
Not anymore. Next month, top female tattoo artists from North America and Europe will descend on Orlando, Florida, for a four-day convention, according to an announcement posted on the Internet by Deana Lippens, the organizer.
Tattoos themselves have dramatically evolved over the years, becoming more complex, multi-dimensional, even exquisite, say tattoo artists.
They are no longer just model rosettes hidden on a shoulder blade. Bodies are being transformed into full-scaled tableaux featuring, for example, portraits of saints adorned by garlands of flowers or a bald eagle spreading his wings across a human torso. Some of these tableaux take years to complete.
What is the most important mason why tattoos become popular in the U. S.?
选项
A、More and more people want to demonstrate their own personality.
B、Women have been in an inferior social position for long.
C、More and more people want to make money from tattoos.
D、Tattoos have become a tendency, especially for young people.
答案
A
解析
细节题型因为tattoos这些年来大大地进化了,变得越来越复杂,多层面甚至是越来越优雅、细腻;另外文中第九段还提及女性使得这一人体艺术变得更加繁荣。这么快的发展并不仅仅是为了追求时尚,由于它的复杂、多层面及优雅、细腻,人们可以此来展示各自的特点。见最后一段:They are no longer just model rosettes hidden on a shoulder blade. Bodies are being transformed into full-scaled tableaux featuring,for example,portraits of saints adorned by garlands of flowers or a bald eagle spreading his wings across a human torso.Some of these tableaux take years to complete.(纹身不再仅仅是隐藏在模特肩胛上的装饰。人体被赋予全方位的造型特写,例如:圣徒的肖像以花环装饰或以展翅的秃鹰来装点裸体躯干雕像。有些这类的艺术造型需几年才能完成。)…he talks about his obsession with“body art,which,in his view,is winning the souls Of the New Age generation as well as overall public acceptance.(……他谈到他对“人体艺术”的迷恋;以他的观点,“人体艺术”正在赢得新世纪一代人对它的青睐及大众对它的接受)。因此答案为A。
