The focus of my Masters is the South African Christian Straight Edge/Hardcore Community and in particular South African Christian Straight Edge/Hardcore individuals who tattoo themselves with religious imagery or iconography, such as, Burning Hearts, The Cross/Crucifix or any other related religious images or symbols. http://www.punk.co.za/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=857 About a week ago i had the diss - pleasure of being invited to a freinds 19th birthday.

But this is the preception mainstream America has on straightedge) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The group Straight Edge is not a gang, members insist, but they concede that some in their midst are becoming violent, especially in Utah. Salt Lake City police classify the entire group as a gang, pointing to Bernardo Repreza as proof. The 15-year-old boy was beaten and stabbed to death Halloween night, investigators say, by two Straight Edge members milling around with dozens of buddies on State Street, yelling insults at passing motorists. Other teens have been beaten up by group members, purportedly for smoking.
