Book excerpt: The essays collected in Tattooed Bodies draw on a range of theoretical paradigms and empirical knowledge to investigate tattoos, tattooing, and our complex relations with marks on skin. Engaging with diverse disciplinary perspectives in art history, continental philosophy, media studies, psychoanalysis, critical theory, literary studies, biopolitics, and cultural anthropology, the volume reflects the sheer diversity of meanings attributed to tattoos throughout history and across cultures. Essays explore conceptualizations of tattoos and tattooing in Derrida, Deleuze and Guattari, Lacan, Agamben, and Jean-Luc Nancy, while utilizing theoretical perspectives to interpret tattoos in literary works by Melville, Beckett, Kafka, Genet, and Jeff VanderMeer, among others. Tattooed Bodies prompts readers to explore a few significant questions: Are tattoos unique phenomena or an art medium in need of special theoretical exploration? If so, what conceptual paradigms and theories might best shape our understanding of tattoos and their complex ubiquity in world cultures and histories?

The soul is writing its secrets on the live canvas of the skin with permanent ink... with tattoos. Many see a person covered in tattoos walk by and harbor a snarky and judgmental response, when in fact the tattoos just told a very personal story. The stories of pain, loss, hope, and other sentiments of great importance are revealed on the skin of the wearer. And those without tattoos may very well have missed a loud, yet intimately revealing, message. The first book, God and Tattoos: Why Are People Writing on Themselves? and this new edition, both take a look at the WHY. After 1000 tattoo interviews and several tattoo parlors and conventions across the nation, Dr. Allan Dayhoff shares his research, and his love for his many new tattooed friends.

Download or read book Inked Encounters and Expanded Narratives written by Karly Etz and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation investigates the appearance of tattoos within 21st-century avant-garde art. Recognizing the ways in which the West has historically marked tattooed peoples as 'deviant' or 'other', this project argues that tattoos have the power to amplify narratives of oppressed and disenfranchised populations within environments that perceive tattoos as 'non-normative'. The four case studies of popular trends in tattoo art that appear here explore the historic implications of the medium, while also offering the first multi-faceted analysis of tattoos within art history. The first of these case studies addresses the creation of digital tattoo hybrids, objects which highlight the medium's ability to encourage the 'reading' of physical bodies in an increasingly digital world. The second case study explores the skin's ability to act as a symbolic borderline, especially when adorned with critical geographies (tattooed maps) that gift the wearer with the ability to reclaim and revise national narratives. Case study three examines inkless tattoo performances, wounding events that produce opportunities to heal personal and collective trauma. Finally, the fourth case study takes the history of tattooed skin collections as a starting point for discussing the potential futures of contemporary tattoo objects and the relative impossibility of ethical acquisition. Through the following chapters, I argue that each of these case studies not only reveal the tattoo's ability to represent the experiences of marginalized populations, but also the ways in which its qualities aid in the witnessing of these narratives and in many instances work to enact individual and communal change.

Download or read book Tattoo Culture written by Lee Barron and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-05-31 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tattoos are a highly visible social and cultural sight, from TV series that represent the lives of tattoo artists and their interactions with clients, to world-class sports stars and the social actors we meet on a daily basis who display visible tattoo designs. Whereas in the not-to-distant past tattoos were commonly culturally perceived to represent an outward sign of social non-conformity or even deviance, tattoos now increasingly transcend class, gender, and age boundaries and arguably are now more culturally acceptable than they have ever been. But why is this the case, and why do so many social actors elect to wear tattoos? Tattoo Culture explores these questions from historical, cultural and media perspectives, but also from the heart of the culture itself, from the dynamics of the tattoo studio, the work of the artist and the world of the tattoo convention, to the perspective of the social actors who bear designs to investigate the meanings which lie being the images. It critically examines the ways in which tattoos alter social actors’ sense of being and their relationship with time in the semiotic ways with which they communicate, to themselves or to the wider world, key elements of their bodily and personal identity and sense of being.
