Those brave souls who allow a person armed with a needle to trace a design onto their various body parts or who have metal ornaments attached to their· bodies. These are the people who have tattoos and body piercings. The art of tattooing has been around for 2,000 years said Max Kilbourne, a tattoo artist at New Creations on 631 Flume St. in Chico. Recently, a man 2,000 years old was found with two tattoos of both a man and a sun on his body. . . So what is the draw of tattoos and body piercing? Why do people do it in the first place? Jessica Meeks, a sophomore business major at Chico State University, had wanted a tattoo since age sixteen. She now has four tattoos, a nose piercing and a librett (chin piercing). Meeks said the tattoo ofaCelticcross on her lower back symbolizes death, strength and immortality. Now that the ink has dried and the piercing holes have healed, Meeks has no remorse. Her parents, however, didn't exactly accept their newly decorated daugJ:tter with open arms. . ,;.' .
