My genealogy is on the history of tattoos, the origins of tattoos, and the connections of tattoos and acupuncture. In order to be featuring my genealogy to the right people I would propose it to an audience of those who practice alternative medicine. I would propose it to those who believe in alternative medicine in a visual way; due to the fact they seem to like evidence. A visual stimulation I would use may be a short video, a poster, or a sales representative video. I would propose this genealogy to this group of people in the following way due to the fact that acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine that some people swear by. Some of these people don’t like the works of tattoos, but what if they knew they were just the same thing, minus the ink?

Furthermore, I may depict my genealogy to an audience of young adults who are interested in tattoos. In this presentation, my medium would have to be a (Prezzi) presentation. In order to depict to, the young adults, the pictures, the sounds, and the history, without becoming bore some to young adults, the presentation would be the best option. This is due to the fact it can incorporate all of the following in it without being so time consuming a young viewer would lose attention.

Lastly, I could depict my genealogy of the study and history of tattoos to a tattoo artist. Although they are probably continuers in the subject and I am merely scraping the surface, it could be a great experience to get feedback in order to further my research.
