Please refer to the resources provided on CDS Central. They are intended to help you engage effectively on the discussion board.

Due Saturday

Tattoos, or inking, has increased dramatically in the last few decades, especially among millennials (Weller, 2014). But what about the history of tattoos? The earliest recorded evidence of tattooing was carbon dated 5,200 years ago when the Ice Man was discovered in 1991 (Lineberry, 2007). People have used tattoos for thousands of years "as amulets, status symbols, declarations of love, signs of religious beliefs, adornments, and even forms of punishment" (Lineberry, 2007, para 1).

Watch "The Cultural Heritage of Tattooing."

Write a 250- to 300-word response to the following:

• After watching the video and taking into consideration what has been learned to date about research, what are your thoughts on the research methodology? Do you have a tattoo? Where? Why?
