Western tattooists(纹身师)work with a special electrical instrument, something like a dentist’s drill. It holds a number of very fine needles which, for the purpose of reproducing the approved drawing, are dipped in black ink. When the current is switched on, and the instrument passed rapidly over the outline, the action of the needles drives the ink into the skin. The tattooist is constantly wiping away excess ink as he works. This is where skill is so important, for the speed of the instrument means that he must work rapidly over lines which are almost permanently covered over.
The basic drawing then has to be coloured in, using the same method but with non-poisonous paint now replacing the ink. The average tattoo contains four or five colours, each injected with a separate instrument. How many needles are used each time will depend on the area to be covered, but it is possible to use as many as ten or twelve, giving up to 300 injections a minute. Filling in is a lengthier process than outlining, and since most people find half an hour under the needles quite enough, a major tattoo can take a number of visits to complete. Every visit will leave the skin sore and stinging, and to prevent infection on the area is finally treated with an antiseptic(消毒的, 抗菌的)cream and covered with a dressing. After a few days it finally heals over, leaving the new tattoo clearly visible under the skin.
And there it stays, for, as those who get tattooed and think better of it soon discover that getting rid of the tattoo is a far more difficult business than getting it. The tattooist is powerless to undo what he has done and can only refer unhappy customers to their doctors who, no matter how sympathetic, are able to offer little encouragement. Removing a tattoo, if it can be done at all, has to be by one of two methods, neither of them pleasant or even completely satisfactory. The first is by surgery and skin replacement, an operation which leaves permanent marks. The other possibility is to re-tattoo over the offending design with a special acid-based substance which absorbs the colours as it goes. This is a painful and lengthy process which, though less expensive than private surgery, is still quite costly.
It is such a common event that responsible tattooists refuse to work on areas which cannot normally be covered up. "The trouble is that most people don’t think about it until it’s too late," says one tattooist who had his own hands tattooed some years ago, and freely admits to regretting it. "I realise now that it looks in bad taste." [br] What is the author’s attitude towards tattoo?
选项
A、Critical.
B、Indifferent.
C、Positive.
D、Neutral.
答案
D
解析
本文主要讲述了纹身方面的问题。第1一2段主要介绍了纹身的过程,第3段主要说明纹身不容易消除,第4段则主要说明一个纹身师对纹身的看法,整篇文章中作者并没有对是否应该纹身及纹身的好坏进行评论,他只是在客观地陈述事实,由此可推断作者对纹身的态度是neutral(中立的),故答案为D)。
