Tattooing and body piercing are becoming a common feature on many of our young people. At the same time, the perceptions of tattooed and body-pierced youngsters being at-risk, sexually active, and exhibiting rebellion do not necessarily apply anymore. What adults might perceive as rebellion, for youth may be personal statements of self-identity and body art. This issue of The Prevention Researcher was published in 1998.
