Walking around campus you will see many different tattoos. People have tattoos of all different designs, sizes, and colors.

 Tribal tattoos are probably the most popular tattoos that I have seen. Many guys around campus have random tribal tattoos.


I've also seen tattoos that have a personal meaning behind them whether its a word or words or a symbol that represents someone.

 I have also seen quite a few color tattoos that are all very different but are all cool to look at.

Tattoos are growing more and more popular and I have seen many people around campus with very different tattoos. I find all the tattoos very interesting because they all differ whether its the size, design, color, or the location.

Thesis Statement

When William Eggleston was deciding which pictures he would like to include in Eggleston's Guide he knew exactly what pictures he wanted and exactly what order to put them in. William Eggleston was able to capture a story in just one picture. He showed us the social and cultural concerns in the South by capturing peoples emotions and actions in a single picture.
