A possible field trip to a 'bad' place!

As a suggestion for a field trip to a 'bad place', relevant to one of the module lectures, i suggest a trip to 'Spike's tattoos' in Broad Street Wolverhampton. This is mainly because tattoos are a great passion of mine, yet are still seen as something of a social tabboo. It is true that many more people have tattoos today than, say, 20 years ago, but as someone who has a large amount of tattoos that are quite visible i still recieve social reactions that can sometimes be negative. It is fair to say that i also recieve many positive comments and reactions about my body art, but i think that if people who have negative preconceptions about tattoos and the people who have them went to Spike's and saw the artistic element and professionalism involved, they may change their views slightly.
