Making connections


    As we now, tattoos are a way to people express themselves what they feel. Tattoos where born in different places of the world, with different meanings, the most famous came from the Maori culture According to the image, we can say that the caption defends de use of tattoos, trying to stop the stereotyping and discrimination to people that have these on his body.

  Also, as people discriminates the wear of tattoos, they classified them as delinquents, crazy persons and people that only make disorder in the "structure" of the world. If a person have tattoos on his body, or they use rare clothe, there is no argument to say that he is a bad person or in this case makes him a bad parent, just because of his appearance.
  
   Tattoos are negatively stereotype by many people around the world; they treat them like     “un-cultural” persons that put tattoos just to call the attention and make “disorder” in the structure of the world. They are perceived as irresponsible, rebellious, uncivilized and unintelligent. It’s obvious in today’s world that not all people who have a tattoo fall into any of these categories. Tattooing is becoming increasingly more acceptable, but there is still a stereotype that comes with the territory of having tattoos even in today’s world. In relation to the Maori culture, everybody tattoos their bodies, especially on their faces and arms, and for them is normal, and nobody feels uncomfortable because it is part of his culture.
  
    Tattoos have been a way to identify people in many ways, for example when the Nazi tattoo the Jewish people with a number to identify them with it. But they were force to tattoo that number. Today, we can say that people tattoo themselves to identify with a lot of things, and they are not force to do it. For example, I have seen soccer players tattooing themselves with the name of their kids in their arms, also people that tattoo things like a skull or a dragon to be look as more aggressive people. So, they are many things that make people tattoo themselves.
  
    In so many ways, tattoos are considering body art, because of their design and purpose that they have. Tattoos are made to express what a person feels in so many ways such us love or pain. According to the caption of the image, the captions tries to explain that tattoos are not a way to give a person an aggressive or rare character, but they in some way define the identity.

Roger Federer, Thierry Henry and Tiger Woods Gillette

   Roger Federer, Thierry Henry and Tiger Woods are one of the best players in tennis, soccer and golf respectively. This players have many sponsors, but in this case, the three of them are sponsored by Gillette.



   We can say that Gillette hire this people because they are very famous and important by his job, so they can win more money by making ads of them to persuade and manipulate the audience. There are three persuasive devices proposed by Aristotles: Ethos, Pathos and Logos.

    In the ads shown, we can say that the technique that they use is Pathos, because they are trying to persuade men to use the same shaver than this three famous athlets, so they can feel more important or more athletic,
as the last slogan says "The best a man can get".
