Staff Cecil Lee Posted February 29, 2000 Staff Share Posted February 29, 2000 Dear Anon,1. In the past, a large percentage of Chinese do not have tatoos.During the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's, tatoos especially elaborate ones are found on Chinese gangsters or secret society members.2. You can really see lots of tatoos on their bodies, hands and legs.3. It was not difficult for the Police Secret Society Supression unit to run them up. 4. Even in the 1980's, tatoos on these youths but lesser.With the advent of model `equipment' or status symbols, at one time, many of these youths or secret society members carry instead at one time `expensive' Motorola `brick' handphones of the 80's.Suddenly, handphones, from my personal observation became the status during the period. (Not that every other person carrying a handphone looks like a gangster). But this was what, I believe, occurred.Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 2/29/00 2:47:00 AM, Anonymous wrote:Dear cecil,Is having tattoo popular amongyounger chinese generation?Thanks.
