Kennedy Dzuba · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Michael Atkinson argues that tattoos are a vehicle of social communication, meaning that they can convey messages or meanings to others. Tattoos can represent cultural or personal identity, beliefs, passions, or even a sense of rebellion, but ultimately they serve as a form of communication between the individual and society. While some people may get tattoos as an act of rebellion or to reassert masculinity, these reasons are not the overarching purpose behind tattoos as argued by Atkinson. Social misfits are also not necessarily the only group that may choose to get tattoos.
