JQ

An Update on my situation with Tattoos, i would like to focus on the fact that two major ancient civilizations have very different views and uses for Tattoos. Either that or Looking at the development of how Absurdist Authors confront death

Found a good site http://www.tattoo.dk and it looks like i can narrow it down to regions of the world so i can cover all the bass of my topic. Maybe i could do SE asia, Austrailasia, Native american, and or Indian

Changed my topic to the history and development of the tattooing.. looking at: -Why it is done -What it symbolizes -religious connotations etc

Hi JQ

That could lead to an interesting topic. Make sure you look at the Psychology criteria to make sure that your ideas fit. I also have a copy of the Study Guide - you will need to look at that as well. Come and get a copy sometime.

Good luck with the investigating

Hey JQ

I'm looking forward to following your research and hearing your ideas. Stop by my office soon to discuss your plans and progress so far.

Im having a bit of trouble because psycology needs field work and we have a really small community. So i think i will just do the history and development.. something like that -JQ

JQ--Good that you are settling on a subject topic--now you need to start clarifying what you mean by self-mutilation, you mention cutting--scarification? Are you going to explore rites of passage, a particular type of self mutilation, a particular culture? You need to narrow.--bag

Have you visited this site yet? http://www.museum.upenn.edu/new/exhibits/online_exhibits/body_modification/bodmodintro.shtml --bag

I'm not seeing much progress. Do we need some additional sessions?--bag
