  "textContent": "> Ultimately a tattoo is you making a decision about your body and how to mark it, which every human being 100% has the right to do. For some people, a tattoo can be the first fierce act of adulthood. Sometimes we are reclaiming a body which other people have marked and saying my mark is stronger. My mark covers your mark. I claim this body as my own and I will mark it as I want. It’s a good thing to decorate ourselves and own this body, modify this body, take control over this body, and to use it as a record of a life.",
