The topic of tattoos comes from a message given to me by a class teacher in my school: There is a student in my class who read his mother’s WeChat during the summer vacation and found out that he has a tattoo. How can I persuade him to have his tattoo removed? What are the rules for middle school students? Please give me some guidance. Later, I further learned that the boy’s father was deceased and his mother remarried and gave birth to a daughter. The boy had excellent grades and performed well in all aspects. His parents objected to the tattoo, so he had it tattooed on his chest in private. If he didn’t take off his clothes, , usually you can't find it, but if the student is a boarding student, some classmates will definitely know. I forwarded this question to Teacher Li Hua, so there was a Wednesday online discussion in the QQ group of Li Hua Studio of Fujian Education College.

1. Uncover the mystery of tattoos

Tattoos are made by inserting ink needles into the bottom layer of the skin to create some patterns or words on the skin, and to embroider various kinds of things on the body. Patterns are used to show auspiciousness and worship. Tattoos are commonly known as tattoos, and are called nirvana in ancient Chinese. They are used to depict an ideal picture on a person's monotonous skin, becoming an eternity in life, and retaining memories as the most beautiful pictures in life. Originally it was not a mark exclusively for bad guys. Whether the tattoo is a text or a pattern, tattoos are always meant to please yourself and others, no matter where you place the tattoo. Some people say that tattoos are a symbol of beauty, mystery, sexiness and charm. They are also the most vivid expression of unique personality and self, as well as an expression of personal beliefs. Many people fall in love with the beauty of this pain and carve tattoos on their bodies. Give yourself a new hope, a new sustenance, and a new beginning. (From 360 Encyclopedia)

2. Yuanfang, what do you think of tattoos?

1. From the perspective of physical health: Medical experts point out that tattoos can easily have adverse effects on young people’s bodies. Tattoos are made on the human body with needle points, which is harmful to human skin cells and nerve cells and is harmful to health. Skin is the body's first line of defense, capable of resisting external mechanical, physical, and chemical stimulation and the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms. Tattoos damage the skin and can easily lead to bacterial infections, such as boils, carbuncles, erysipelas, impetigo, etc. If the trauma area is large and the bacteria are highly virulent, or even grow and multiply in the blood, sepsis can become life-threatening. Most tattoo artists do not understand medicine and do not sterilize strictly or not at all when tattooing. When the needle tip penetrates the skin, bacteria and other pathogenic microorganisms are brought into the body, which can spread a variety of diseases, such as tuberculosis, hepatitis B, and AIDS. , leprosy and many other diseases. There are many kinds of pigments used in tattoos, many of which are chemical substances. When these chemicals enter the human body, they can cause dermatitis, allergies, and local itching and pain. According to research, tattoo pigments specially used for tattoos contain heavy metals such as lead and chromium and other compounds. These synthetic colored chemical substances are potentially harmful to the human body and are one of the factors that induce skin cancer. They can cause cell mutations and produce cancer. wait. In addition, there is no specific medicine that can remove tattoos. The only way to remove tattoos is through plastic surgery or laser tattoo removal. Plastic surgery will leave unsightly marks or even scars, while laser tattoo removal requires 3 to 5 treatments, which means it will take more than half a year to fade away significantly.

2. From a psychological perspective: Tattoos reflect a psychological need of people and are not very recognized from the perspective of mainstream social values. This subculture is allowed to exist as a personal hobby, but It should not be promoted, especially among teenagers. Nowadays, a small number of middle school students get tattoos to relieve stress, and many people get tattoos as a way to relieve anxiety, depression, and relieve stress. Tattoos sometimes also represent a belief of the person concerned, used to motivate and remind themselves. For example, the "LD" on the back of Lin Dan's neck represents his self-created sports brand; a string of five-pointed stars on his left arm represents Grand Slam; the cross on his left upper arm represents his Christian grandmother; and the double F on his right arm is a tribute to his wife Xie Xingfang (Fangfang)'s love; "until the end of world" on the right arm, the ending song of Slam Dunk, represents loyalty to badminton and Xie Xingfang. For example, Zhang Jike's tattoo is the one above his chest. The English word "unbreakable" represents Zhang Jike's self-confidence: "I can't be defeated." The shape of this tattoo on the back is a pair of outstretched wings, with the word "persistence" (Chinese meaning "persistence, persistence") written under the outstretched eagle wings. Zhang Jike said that this tattoo is to spur himself at all times and remind himself to fly higher and believe that he has this ability, so he got this eagle tattoo. "The tattoo under the arm is the most commemorative to Zhang Jike himself. It is a row of dates. These are the days when Zhang Jike's grandmother was born and died. The tattoo on the right arm is a dove of peace. These tattoos were all made by Zhang Jike somewhere. The mood he wants to express during a specific period of time is of great significance to him! At present, most teenagers get tattoos, mainly because of curiosity and herd mentality.

3. From a legal perspective: The law does not prohibit it, so it is not illegal. The law does not encourage it, so it cannot be said to be a legally protected behavior. There are no mandatory regulations on tattoos in our country, but some work units such as military conscription, state enterprises or Public institutions will not recruit people with tattoos. As a civil act, it is free unless prohibited by law.

However, if the person who goes to the shop to get a tattoo is a minor, such as a person who is over 16 years old or under 18 years old, he is still a person with limited capacity in law. If the shop gives him a tattoo, his parents will contact him. Coming to the door is still quite troublesome. Because he still has no right to control his own body. So this issue is actually a question of behavioral capacity. Tattoos are not illegal, but they are not encouraged either.

4. From the perspective of artistic aesthetics: Tattoo is a very ancient art form. Today, with the rapid development of tattoo technology, tattoo styles are also constantly changing and updating. Chinese painting emphasizes charm, while Western painting emphasizes similarity. Chinese painting-style tattoos tend to reflect the artistic conception of the work. Numerous tattoo styles embody artistic beauty. More and more people who love beauty around us are trying to get tattoos. In today's society, tattoos are no longer considered a sign of bad people. Instead, they have become more and more a fashion, an art, a culture, and have gradually become a new trend. A way for humans to express their individuality.

5. From the perspective of traditional culture: The origin of tattoos in China can be traced back to 3,500 years ago, when it was used for punishment, called ink punishment. Because the ancients had a very deep concept of "having a hairy body depends on your parents", cutting your hair was a form of punishment, not to mention having indelible words or patterns tattooed on your body. For example: During the Qin Dynasty, the two characters (Cheng Dan) were tattooed on the faces of those who built the Great Wall to tell others that they were building the Great Wall: Most of the characters in "Water Margin" had been in prison. In order to prevent escape, the prison officials gave each person a tattoo There are words tattooed on the face (such as: tattooed with Youzhou). The history of tattoos is a bumpy one. Since humans began to have tattoos, except for group tattoos such as religious tattoos and folk tattoos, other tattoos have received strange looks and comments.

6. From the perspective of moral education management: Most parents, as well as elders and older generations, are opposed to tattoos. They feel that the quality of the tattoo object itself is not good, and the tattoo is considered inferior. In the industry, many family members are strongly opposed to anyone in their family getting a tattoo. In school management, most teachers feel that the influence of tattoos is subtle, and students may follow suit after seeing it. The student group has not really entered the society, and their thinking methods will be biased in some aspects. As a student, some habits in society that get involved too early will cause trouble in later life. I think students should not get tattoos casually. The school does not approve of students having tattoos because it is afraid of affecting the school spirit and academic style.

I think of the ancient story of "The Blind Man Touching the Elephant". It tells the story of a blind man who touched different parts of the elephant and thought that the whole elephant looked like what he touched. This kind of example often happens in the process of people understanding things. Everyone's reasoning when observing the conclusions obtained from the experiment from a certain angle is relatively one-sided. This tells us that it is not enough to understand it from only one angle. It needs to be understood from different angles. Before the online seminar, my first reaction to the issue of students' tattoos was to ban middle school students from getting tattoos and mobilize them to eradicate them. The meaning of the discussion may be this: you have an apple, I have an apple, we exchange each other, and it is just an apple; you There is one thought, and I have one thought. When we exchange each other, we have two thoughts. Professor Liu Lianghua of East China Normal University quoted Hu Shi’s view that tolerance is more important than freedom, and he reasoned that tolerance of diversity is more important than the pursuit of truth.
