Manage - Proposal

For my extended project I will be looking at how tattoos are perceived in different cultures and by different people. I will be looking into whether people’s opinions on them are bad or good and the reasons why they have this opinion. Also for my project I will be looking at tribal tattoos and what they represent to the people that have them and also different people’s opinions on tribal tattoos. Lastly I will be researching into tattoos in gang culture. Tattoos in gang culture are normally frowned upon by the general population as sometimes they represent horrific things that people in gang culture have done, such as criminal offences. I chose two look at tattoos in general and also two other types of tattoos as I will be able to get a wide range of opinions and interesting facts on each of these.
My project will need to be researched thoroughly; therefore I am going to look at a wide range of things such as books, websites and also asking people’s opinions myself so that I don’t get a biased opinion just by looking at one certain type of media or by talking to one certain group of people. I will also use the internet to find documentaries on tattoos and perceptions of people that have them, if there are any. Magazines will also be useful to my research as there are a fair few magazines purely based on tattoos.
I have many deadlines for my project.
Milestone one: Research thoroughly into perceptions of tattoos. By 31st October.
Milestone two: Research into tribal tattoos. By 7th November.
I will spend nine weeks on researching into my project. Then I will spend two weeks analysing my research so I can put it into a written project. A further six weeks to write the project up and finally 2 weeks to prepare for the final presentation.
