- Discussing tattoos is no easy task from child-to-parent. Through personal experiences, Chloe heartens open mindedness, and hopes to break the taboo associated with tattooing. In her storytelling, she encourages inclusivity and empathy to create a middle ground for all individuals seeking to come to terms with this medium. Chloe Kwok is an Illustration student attending Emily Carr University of Art and Design. Exploring one of many mediums of Illustration, she opens the audience to the world of tattooing. Being a client of tattoo artists has inspired her to promote open mindedness to the subject, and break the taboo of mark making on skin. Drawing from experience, she exposes the positives and negatives of bearing visible tattoos as a taiwanese born Canadian. Chloe heartens mindfulness to the effect tattooing has had on Asian culture, encouraging the positive the art can bring in the future. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
People only talk bad about your tattoos on You Tube behind a fake name. You shouldn’t take them serious.

It's your body but you should wait till you are 23 years old.
Tattoos are not taboo at all, especially not in modern day China (at least where I'm from) . She is just projecting a subjective sense of uneasiness and claiming it is the tattoo industry that is taboo; rather than claiming the personal familial rules that her family goes by.
BlkRockShooter I’m Peruvian, in countries like Peru SURE it’s popular and nobody’s gonna stop you from doing it, but the amount of backlash from more conservative minded people, which makes up a large majority of the people (it is “old fashioned” and very religious) and a lot of work environments carry this mindset - you’re placed in a “lower” category by that classist society. Sure maybe not in modern-day China (although I’ve heard a lot of comments otherwise from other friends experiences), but this was still a good chat and it definitely speaks to many cultures.
I know a girl that let her boyfriend treat her like a practice sheet for his tattoo hobby... They think they're cool... but, they think meth is cool too ... so, there ya have it
Huh?
@@bmorales2633 they're just being one of the judgmental people the person in the video was talking about, lmao

Bruja Escarlata tal vez para ti no es taboo pero para muchas personas sí, y que bien que sea más acceptable en Argentina, pero en otros países están un poco más atrasados en ese aspecto, los que son más religiosos/ “old fashioned” digamos. Especialmente si eres mujer :/
@@frijolmistico bueno que den la charla en otro pais, no en ee uu
Es en Canada :P yo vivo acá, y obviamente es mejor acá pero no es que todos son de la misma cultura, sabes? Tenemos una mezcla de todo. Pero igual, she’s talking about it very generally, and there are many cultures and countries that do not accept this. The point is to shed light on the subject, she’s talking about her experience with the taboo of tattoos which does exist all over the world, and in many family households. Not EVERY single place/family, but there are many with opposing views. To say that “there is no taboo against tattoos” is like saying “there is no taboo about women being promiscuous” - yes, we have progressed, but there are still many prejudices that exist based off of very ridiculous things, such as having tattoos
@@frijolmistico the fuckinf¿g diferencia es que uno elije ser tatuado o no, y podes decidir como verte en la sociedad
si no te gusta, no te tatues, no te vas a morir si no te tatuas, o si solamente te tatuas donde no se ve
no dejen de llorisquear porque no aceptan tus idioteses
yo quiero ir a trabajar en pijama, pero no me ven haciendo un drama de eso
perdon, pero hay temas mil veces mas importantes que el "mi papa no me deja"
Hahahaha obviamente hay temas más importante pero igual es su forma de expresarse y tiene todo el derecho de hacerlo.. igual fue interesante escuchar su historia, no me parece que está haciendo drama xd
They aren't taboo. But people who have them are pretty darn annoying.
Joe Darrington You must’ve commented without even watching the video, she grew up in a Taiwanese family where it is taboo.
