text – tattoo documentary
Channel
4 is introducing hot new presenter Luke Ford in a brand new one off
documentary following society's views on a tattooed nation. We take
an in depth look at tattooed youngsters and there views on why they
believe expressing yourself through body art should be excepted in
today's society. We also delve in to the topic of what younger
persons think the elder generation views on a tattooed youth is. Our
Tattooed Youth explores
the ins and outs of a way of life that splits the opinions of a
population.
Nowadays you can't go far
without seeing a tattooed body roaming the streets. As tattoo's are
becoming more popular and more common you see a lot more workers with
the body art, rules are more laid back with them now. So, don't want
to just take our word for how much they've changed opinions and
beliefs? Musketeer media has produced a programme that talks to the
younger generation about why tattoos are important to them and why
they feel the urge to get inked for the rest of their lives. A lot of
the population accept and appreciate tattoos for what they are but we
will also look at the other side and why people feel tattoos
shouldn't be accepted and why they stereotype people with tattoos.
We chat to a variety of people
that have experienced getting a tattoo and other people's reactions
to them. Popular interviewee Lauren Shyplka told presenter Luke ' My
parents were fine with me getting a tattoo at 15'. Whilst aspiring
tattooist Matthew Brundell told audiences that 'he was 15 when he got
his first tattoo in Spain' and that his parents 'weren't happy but
what can they do'.
The brand new documentary is an
hour long special for Channel 4 that will start at 9pm on Wednesday
night. This will be a perfect programme for teenagers/ early twenties
males and females interested in tattoo's or thinking about getting a
tattoo. Tattoo's are a topic that have had a nation talking for a
while so we look at the minor details and what the story is below the
surface.

My Draft DPS text - Jamie Ellis, Candidate Number 9150
Our Tattooed Youth is a riveting documentary
from the new kid on the production company block, Musketeer
Media. They’re a new company that want to make a name for
themselves by making documentaries that shed light on
some of the more sensitive subjects that plague society.
Their first venture into this new world is a
documentary based on tattoos in our society,
specifically tattoos in our youth,
hence the name of their documentary.
The documentary features a wide range
of interviews involving tattooed youngsters
(18+) and the stories behind their ink. Without wanting to
spoil too much for you, they ask the interviewees their opinions on recent
news stories involving tattoos, such as the David Dimbleby story as well as
topics like tattoos in the work place and at what age they’d allow their
children to receive an adornment.
It’s not just the youth they interview either, they ask older members of the community their views on tattoos and where they stand on the subject. This gives a good range of opinions and finding out how the public eye views the topic.
Presenting this Documentary is a rather odd choice of character. He’s not experienced, he’s not well known, he’s a new face in the presenting world just like them. This is a bold move by MM (Musketeer Media). As a new company, you typically gain fame by recruiting well-known faces to your cause and this helps people recognise you. By going for
someone new and unknown they’re taking a big gamble. However, this young man doesn’t fail to deliver. He’s confident, he’s professional, but his deliverance is a bit quick and needs to slow down his speed at which he talks to the camera. At parts, he can be hard to understand, however, no one was perfect on their first try. With practice, this young man will surely be on his way to becoming a big wig in the world of documentary
presentation.
On the whole, this is a good documentary to watch. It’s entertaining, gives food for thought and is a good way to spend 45 minutes of your evening. It will hopefully get you thinking more and more about this taboo tattoo topic and will shed light for you if you’re new to this topic or are already aware of the controversy.
Just to give you a heads up on the kind of controversy in the tattoo world, there’s an argument going on about the appropriateness of tattoos in the work place, in the social scene and at what age they’re appropriate to be placed on someone. At the minute, the age is 18 and the reasoning behind that is fairly solid. At 18, you’ve had time to think about what kind of tattoo you want, and you’re considered physically and mentally an adult. So, 18 is a solid age and this is one of the topics and food for thought that this documentary provides you with to keep your noggin’ occupied.
