The opposite reaction to such a product indicated 「the different perceptions of tattoos in China and the West,」 Zhu Wei, a professor at the China University of Political Science and Law, told the Global Times on Wednesday.
中國政法大學的朱巍教授說，對紋身袖套的不同反應體現了中西方對紋身的不同理解。
Zhu noted that in ancient China, tattoos were used to mark criminals in prison, which has an impact on Chinese people’s understanding of tattoos – not a positive cultural symbol. When people, especially the older generations, see a tattoo, the first impression they get is likely to be one of danger and 「bad guys」 in society, Zhu said.
他解釋道，在古代，紋身（文面）是用來標識罪犯的，這種傳統影響了中國人對紋身的理解，覺得它不是積極向上的文化符號。人們，特別是老一輩人看到紋身的人，第一反應常常是這些人是危險分子或是壞人。
