Book Description
Despite the social sciences' growing fascination with tattooing--and the immense popularity of tattoos themselves--the practice has not left much of a historical record. And, until very recently, there was no good context for writing a serious history of tattooing in the West. This collection exposes, for the first time, the richness of the tattoo's European and American history from antiquity to the present day. In the process, it rescues tattoos from their stereotypical and sensationalized association with criminality. The tattoo has long hovered in a space between the cosmetic and the punitive. Throughout its history, the status of the tattoo has been complicated by its dual association with slavery and penal practices on the one hand and exotic or forbidden sexuality on the other. The tattoo appears often as an involuntary stigma, sometimes as a self-imposed marker of identity, and occasionally as a beautiful corporal decoration. This volume analyzes the tattoo's fluctuating, often uncomfortable position from multiple angles. Individual chapters explore fascinating segments of its history--from the metaphorical meanings of tattooing in Celtic society to the class-related commodification of the body in Victorian Britain, from tattooed entertainers in Germany to tattooing and piercing as self-expression in the contemporary United States. But they also accumulate to form an expansive, textured view of permanent bodily modification in the West. By combining empirical history, powerful cultural analysis, and a highly readable style, this volume both draws on and propels the ongoing effort to write a meaningful cultural history of the body. The contributors, representing several disciplines, have all conducted extensive original research into the Western tattoo. Together, they have produced an unrivalled account of its history. They are, in addition to the editor, Clare Anderson, Susan Benson, James Bradley, Ian Duffield, Juliet Fleming, Alan Govenar, Harriet Guest, Mark Gustafson, C. P. Jones, Charles MacQuarrie, Hamish Maxwell-Stewart, Stephan Oettermann, Jennipher A. Rosecrans, and Abby Schrader.

Book Description
The pieces in this collection range in setting from the small towns of New England to the deserts of the Southwest. Grounded in personal experience these essays ask through narrative what it means to be a rebel girl, a rebel teenager, and a rebel woman in a world that seems to offer no real alternative to traditional roles. Infused with lyrical and figurative language, this collection combines the swiftness of the prose poem with the power of the personal essay resulting in writing that pulls the ground out from under the reader again and again. The collection is organized chronologically in a way that charts the development of a woman as she attempts to adapt to the world around her through stories of love, heartbreak, and adventure. The essays travel with the narrator from a summer camp in Maine, to opal mining in Nevada, to the story of a deadly thunderstorm in Vermont, to hunting for ginseng, asking the questions about belonging, expectation and, ultimately, if there is a chance for real happiness.

Book Description
TATTOOING IS A WAY OF LIFE Yes, this phrase may sound cliché, but that's not true. For millennia human beings have used their skin to permanently shape messages: The cavemen with their war marks, members of the tribes representing their status within the group, elders asking the gods for protection. In modern times these reasons have been left aside to represent something purer: individual expression. People who wear tattoos in these times do so with the firm intention of visually showing what they carry inside, or of being the canvas of incredible artistic pieces. That's why tattoos can't be considered a fashion anymore, but a way of life. Tattooed! is born precisely from this concept, to show the world the culture behind tattoos and what tattooed people all over the world want to represent. In Tattooed! you can find all the information you need about the most modern tattoo techniques, new styles and current trends, so you can capture on your skin what you carry inside. Likewise, we will provide you with everything you need to know about the most acclaimed tattoo artists in the world, where you will be able to see part of their portfolio and find out what makes them so special. Tattooed! is designed to be the main reference for all those who want to get tattooed for the first time (or even for the fifteenth time), as there is a vacuum of information specially created and designed for the tribe of tattooed. This void can be noticed when many people, before getting a tattoo, look for information about techniques, style, care tips and others, but almost all the information you get is focused on the tattoo artists, and, after all, it is the clients who will carry these pieces of art permanently engraved on their skin. A person with tattoos will always attract attention and steal the glances, and we want to be part of that process, of guiding each tattooed in every step of getting the most incredible tattoo on their skin, after all, each one is much more than a simple canvas for the artist, he is a person who wants to show his individuality to the world. With the advice of Tattooed! these individuals will be able to make the best realistic decisions about their next tattoos, to take with them an emblematic piece that truly represents them. Without a doubt, Tattooed! seeks to be a source of real, current and objective information about the world of tattooing, to be able to offer the advice and advice that readers really need, and even to be able to give them the inspiration and motivation they need before getting their next tattoo. And we, at Tattooed!, will do our best so that you, who want to shout to the world who you really are with a piece that represents you, can take the step of tattooing your skin in the right way, giving you those tips you need so much, and answering those questions you may not dare to do. Don't be afraid to stain your skin, after all, the only thing that matters is that you have the freedom to express your personality as you see fit, and, from now on, we will be with you every step of the way.
