Full textAbstract:
This study explores the history of tattoos in the United States along with the role and significance of tattos today. The study's primary research question seeks to discover whether tattoos anchor an individual's personal narrative and help to solidify an individual's sense of self. The study considers both modernist and postmodernist concepts of identity, but ultimately supports a perspective which argues that identity is the result of an individual's ability to keep a consistent narrative going over time. This exploratory study uses a qualitatative approach to discern the meanings behind individuals' tattoos through their own words and conceptions. Eight individuals ranging in age, race and gender were interviewed in order to collect data for the study. The findings suggest that individuals frame the importance of their tattoos in a variety of ways from tattoos that commemorate aspects of one's past to tattoos that are highly symbolic of an individual's sense of self.

Full textAbstract:
More often than not, when we think about visual rhetoric, especially in the fields of composition and literature, we imagine such visual texts as video games, advertisements, and graffiti/art. It’s rare that our thoughts turn to tattoos and the idea that women’s tattoos in particular, as visual text, act as a rhetorical device subverting dominant social norms of how heteropatriarchy defines woman and femininity. The dominant notions of how we think about text – writing, rhetoric, and the publication of narrative – facilitates the construction of a tattoo rhetoric. Utilizing a feminist lens, this thesis demonstrates the visual rhetoric of women’s tattoos and the construction of a tattoo rhetoric, drawing from elements of queers of color, women of color, and visual rhetoric scholars, as well as such theorists as Judith Butler, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Roland Barthes, and Mikhail Bakhtin. I explore Shelly Jackson’s Skin and the embodied texts of Kat Von D’s tattoos to convey the disidentification from and deconstruction of traditional and dominant notions of writing, rhetoric, and narrative, as well as heteropatriarchal constructs and governance of women, women’s bodies, and femininity. The visual rhetoric of women’s tattoos empowers women to radically challenge mainstream perceptions of feminine beauty, reclaim agency over their own bodies, and construct new meaning of woman and embodied texts. Women’s tattooed bodies facilitate the deconstruction of dominant ideologies of woman, femininity, and of text; the reconstruction of how woman and visual text are defined; and the construction of a tattoo rhetoric.

Full textAbstract:
University of Central Florida College of Sciences Honors thesisThe relationship between identity and tattooing regarding female members of the punk community has not been fully explored by the academic community. Through the exploration of the anthropological history of tattoos as markers of identity, the pro-social aspects of this form of body modification can be illustrated. Placing emphasis on punk women, tattoos are shown to positively affect individual identity and reinforce social bonds. The pioneering nature of punk music and the outright rejection of cultural norms creates an atmosphere in which women can more adequately express their identity through the use of body modification. In this open environment where societal norms regarding body modification are rebuked, tattoos are also used to reinforce social bonds amongst those willing to permanently display their dedication to a non-mainstream aesthetic.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2005.Includes bibliographical references (p. 67-70).
The recent influx of tattoos has been accompanied by a rise in demand for tattoo removals. Due to the recent success of ultrasound as a noninvasive alternative for multiple medical therapies, the feasibility of ultrasound-mediated tattoo removals will be investigated in this thesis. During tattoo applications, dermal cells consume and store tattoo particles in vacuoles in the same manner fat cells store lipids. It is therefore assumed that tattooed cells adopt an "effective density" analogous to the way fat cells develop a lower density. Using this change in mechanical property, the hypothesis is that focused, high frequency ultrasound can target tattooed cells. These cells may be selectively disrupted based on differences in mechanical and acoustic properties between healthy and tattooed cells. As no previous studies have investigated the ultrasound effects or mechanical properties of particle-filled cells, a preliminary model of crudely simulated tattooed cells is designed treating each cell as a homogenous structure. Microspheres of various materials are used to represent and generate a range of density and elasticity that capture these effective properties.
(cont.) This thesis applies this preliminary model to a pilot study examining the interactions of ultrasound with glass and polystyrene microspheres. Microspheres were suspended in agar gel samples to simulate tattooed cells. Each gel sample underwent a series of ultrasound treatments. Two sets of experiments were conducted for each microsphere type testing the variables of intensity, pulse length, and microsphere size. The ultrasound treatments were limited to a maximum frequency of 10MHz and intensity of 25.6W/cm² due to the ultrasound equipment used. After each set of treatments, the agar was cut into 1mm slices and treated microspheres were examined under the microscope. The results in both experiments showed mechanical disruption of the tested microspheres with a particle size threshold. Furthermore, damage to glass beads exhibited a greater dependency on pulse length while polystyrene beads showed a greater sensitivity to intensity. The disruption of the treated microspheres demonstrates ultrasound's ability to affect microspheres in a primitive simulation of tattooed cells and ink particles.

Full textAbstract:
This hermeneutic phenomenological inquiry describes the lived experiences of three visibly tattooed teachers and what it is like to sense their tattooed flesh while they are at school. Lived experience descriptions were collected during in-depth interviews and from personal reflective writings conducted by the study author, who is also a tattooed teacher. Using hermeneutic research approaches outlined by Max van Manen and Linda Finlay, lifeworld descriptions of visibly tattooed teachers are presented in the form of anecdotal passages that urge readers to ‘step into tattooed skin’. Drawing from Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology of perception, Luce Irigaray’s work on intersubjectivity, Michel Foucault’s notion of the disciplinary gaze, theories of the look in education forwarded by Madeline Grumet, and Judith Butler’s notion of subversive bodies, meanings are made of tattooed teachers’ experiences of adopting uncomfortable teacher identities and then growing comfortable in their professional roles. Through hermeneutic analysis, five main themes are presented, constituting the “essences” of the phenomemon of living as a visibly tattooed teacher: Trying to Fit; Mis-fit; Fit. You? Fit You!; Fitting In; and One Size Does Not Fit All.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to analyze the development and shifts in perception of the tattoo practice. For centuries, the negative image of tattoos has been manifested in Korean society and has only shown visible changes in the past two decades. In recent years, the topic of tattoos in South Korea has become notably more popular and broadly discussed. To give a structured and detailed historical review of the tattoo custom in Korea, two articles in Korean by Kim Hyŏng-jung (2013) and Yi Tong-ch’ŏl (2007) served as main sources. By conducting a semisystematic review with a qualitative approach, the accessed data was examined, compared, and synthesized. The results show that the tattoo practice, although still not fully accepted by all, has gradually developed into its own culture in contemporary South Korean society.Syftet med denna studie är att analysera utvecklingen och det varierande synsätt på tatueringar. I århundraden har den negativa bilden av tatueringar festats i det koreanska samhället och bara under de senaste två decennierna har en märkbar förändring skett. De senaste åren har tatueringar blivit mer populära och diskuterade. För att ge en strukturerad och detaljerad bild av tatueringar i Sydkorea har två artiklar på koreanska använts som huvudkälla, Kim Hyŏng-jung (2013) och Yi Tong-ch’ŏl (2007). Genom en semi-systematisk översikt med en kvalitativ metod har insamlad data blivit granskad, jämförd och sammankopplad. Resultatet visar att tatueringar fortfarande inte är helt accepterade av alla men att de gradvist har utvecklats till en egen kultur i Sydkoreas samtida samhälle.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIROO homem não pode lidar com o caos, tem medo daquilo que não pode controlar (seja técnica ou simbolicamente) e, por isso, precisa imprimir sentido às coisas, aos fatos e às pessoas para se sentir bem e poder viver. O corpo humano é um dos espaços primordiais utilizados para a impressão e a narração de sentido: o uso do corpo foi importante, em todos os tempos, como instrumento simbólico e narrativa cultural. Entre as muitas práticas de utilização do corpo está a tatuagem: modo de se inscrever desenhos sob a pele. Na sociedade contemporânea, o fenômeno do consumo se apresenta como poderosa instância de fornecimento de sentido e classificação, operando em todos os espaços sociais, especialmente através da comunicação de massa. Relacionar corpo, consumo e comunicação pode ser portanto uma estratégia positiva para o estudo da relação entre sociedade e sentido. O que acontece quando unimos corpo, consumo, tatuagem e publicidade? Esta dissertação investiga a prática da tatuagem de marcas de produtos e/ou empresas na pele, como forma de operação socializante e individualizante - um interessante caminho para a compreensão das relações sociais promovidas pelo consumo e pelo corpo em nossa sociedade contemporânea.
The human being cannot deal with chaos - being afraid of all that cannot be controlled (either at technical or symbolic level). To ensure a sense of wellbeing, there is a need to attribute meaning to things, facts and people. The human body is one of the primary spaces used for the impression and narrative of meaning: the use of the body has been relevant, throughout time, as a symbolic instrument and cultural narrative. Tattoo - the practice of inscribing images on the skin - is among the many practices of body use. In contemporary society, the phenomenon of consumption is one of the most powerful areas of social classification and attribution of meaning: it operates in all social spaces, mainly through mass communication. A positive strategy for the study of the relationships between society and meaning may be to relate the human body, consumption and communication. What happens when we relate the body, consumption, advertising and tattoo? This dissertation investigates the practice of tattooing product and/or company brands on the skin, as a strategy for individualization and socialization - an interesting pathway towards the comprehension of the social relations provided by consumption and the body in our present society.

Full textAbstract:
In consideration of the prevalence and popularity of tattoos among our prison population, I argue that the disciplinary institution and the carceral experience may have an effect upon the function and value of tattoos for the prisoner. My approach to analysis is informed by the application of discourse analysis in the work of James Messerschmidt on the construction of masculinity, and Michel Foucault on the body of the condemned within the dynamics of the disciplinary institution. Given such insights and theoretical underpinnings, the purpose of this qualitative study is to explore whether the prison and the experience of incarceration has an effect upon the meaning, value and appeal of tattoos among Canadian prisoners, and more specifically, among men serving life sentences. I conducted eight non-directive interviews with incarcerated lifers concerning tattooing and their tattoos. Following the interviews, I undertook a time frame analysis in order to organize and examine the subjects' experiences with tattooing during three different time periods, these being, prior to incarceration, during incarceration, and today. Given the exploratory nature of my study, my research may be more accurately conceptualized as an exercise in logic of discovery rather than an exercise in the logic of verification.

The current culture of commodity fetishism that surrounds both modern art and tattoos are disproportionately a part of the perpetuation of an artificial sense of society and community. It promotes the notion that by simply by inking the deeper layers of their skin or by spending millions on a painting that somehow one becomes elevated and enters an elite space, or club, of people like them.

Förr förknippades tatueringar med sjömän och rebeller, nu är det betydligt vanligare och mer accepterat. Idag har det blivit populärare än någonsin och med en yngre kundkrets. Syftet med den här studien är vilka egenskaper som tillskrivs en vanlig kvinna med synliga tatueringar samt en kvinna utan synliga tatueringar. Deltagare i denna studie var 89 studenter på en högskola i åldrarna 19-49 år. Resultatet indikerade att kvinnan utan tatueringar tillskrevs delvis mera positivt än kvinnan med tatueringar, bland annat ansågs hon mer attraktiv och mindre sexuellt erfaren än kvinnan med tatueringar. Dock vad gäller utbildningsnivå och sexorientering/sexläggning så förknippades den tatuerade kvinnan inte med större negativa fördomar. Överlag finns det ingen större skillnad gällande utbildningsnivån för dessa kvinnor, båda ansågs gått ut högskolan.

Follett, John Alan. "The consumption of tattoos and tattooing : the body as permanent text." Thesis, University of Wolverhampton, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/2436/88534.
Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, I investigate permanence through exploring tattoo consumption in terms of the social-historical context of being tattooed. The analysis is based on four years of data collection adopting a grounded theory approach. I present an analysis of how permanence occurs in terms of tattoo consumption, with particular interest in the physical permanence in relation to identity creation. This is set within the framework of Consumer Culture Theory (CCT). The reason for this is twofold, firstly to illustrate the ability of using tattooing as an instrument to investigate permanence within CCT. Secondly, to show the lack of use of the socio-historical perspective within such an investigation, and to show that the use of such data is a valid strategy and which adds depth and context to such an investigation. Furthermore, I suggest that tattoo consumption has become a site of embodied expression that is bounded by physicality, and permanence. I present a typology of tattooed consumers based on levels of commitment and explore in depth two main categories, physicality, and, permanence. I find that the physical permanence is shown through the commitment to tattoo usage. Its permanent nature determines the tattoo as an act of consumption that is dualistic in nature; both accepted, and yet equally rejected, which is seen within the consumers‘ negotiation of its use, in terms of mimicry and placement. Being tattooed represents a form of consumption that contravenes certain rules and norms of society, and yet at the same time is the basis for community membership and adherence to a set of sub-cultural norms and values.

Full textAbstract:
The dramatic increase in the masculine practice of tattooing among girls in Western societies is an area of interest for feminist researchers and visual culture educators. Girls’ tattoos are perceived as diverse practices of conformity, resistance, reclamation, and empowerment, and/or as contemporary markers of femininity, sexuality, and desire.
Eleven adolescent girls with tattoos from the Central Okanagan region of British Columbia were interviewed during a 12 month period in 2007/2008. Discourse analysis was employed as a method to interpret and deconstruct girls’ narratives with respect to understanding why girls have adopted traditional Western male practices of tattooing as expressions of individuality or identity. Secondly, responses were examined with respect to girls’ knowledge of potential risks involved with tattooing.
The majority of participants had strong attachments to their relatives and their tattoos signified a desire to maintain that close family relationship. Research findings indicated girls’ mothers were influential in their daughters’ decisions to get tattooed and in the type of image tattooed. Girls were adamant that popular media figures with tattoos and advertisements of models with tattoos could influence or encourage girls to engage in body art.
Knowledge of potential risks was learned primarily from tattoo artists and relatives, with infection indicated as the main associated risk. Participants suggested the distribution of pamphlets in school counseling centres could inform students of potential risks and provide information related to safe body art practices.
Participants believed societal norms respecting girls’ behaviors and practices were different than those experienced by their mothers. However size, placement, and image of their tattoos, their own biases, and their experiences with older relatives including grandmothers and some fathers indicate that traditional Western attitudes regarding femininity and the female body continue. In spite of this, girls believe that they have the freedom to choose how they enact femininity and assert their individuality, and they believe “if guys can do it, so can girls”.
As visual culture educators we need to listen to and respect the voices of girls to achieve a greater understanding of how girls experience and perform gender through their everyday practices within the popular visual culture.

Full textAbstract:
From a social constructionist perspective, the self of the therapist is the only tool that she takes into therapy with her. The study of the therapeutic self therefore becomes important as this impacts on the quality of therapy received by the client. This treatise explores the development of the researcher’s therapeutic self through the storying of significant learning experiences in the course of her training in counselling psychology. An analysis of the narrative reveals the substance of some of the soul tattoos that make up her therapeutic self. The study was undertaken from an action research approach, thus emphasising the investigation of the therapeutic self in the field and feeding this information back into the practice of counselling psychology in the course of the research project. The themes extracted in the analysis reveal the process of action learning and what constituted significant learning experiences for the researcher. The researcher found that certain conditions were required for the formation of soul tattoos and that merely obtaining a masters degree in counselling psychology was not sufficient preparation for the practice of counselling psychology.

Full textAbstract:
Tattooing in the federal Indian boarding school system appears to have been common among the student body, but the practice is not well documented. A search of the literature on Native education, focusing on boarding schools, yielded only fragments of references to tattooing because there has been no substantive or detailed research on Indian boarding school tattoos. One brief narrative from Celia Haig-Brown (1988), however, illustrates the commonality and the dangers of tattooing. This study examines tattoos among female students who attended Indian boarding schools in the Southwest during the 1960s-1970s. The personal accounts of my mother's experience in tattooing at the Phoenix Indian School provide a baseline for this study. My study explores an undocumented area of boarding school history and student experiences. Many students from various tribes tattooed. The tattoos most often included small initials and markings, and my analysis concludes that the meanings were mostly related to resistance.

Full textAbstract:
The field of biometrics has grown significantly in the past decade due to an increase in interest from law enforcement. Law enforcement officials are interested in adding tattoos alongside irises and fingerprints to their toolbox of biometrics. They often use these biometrics to aid in the identification of victims and suspects. Like facial recognition, tattoos have seen a spike in attention over the past few years. Tattoos, however, have not received as much attention by researchers. This lack of attention towards tattoos stems from the difficulty inherent in matching these tattoos. Such difficulties include image quality, affine transformation, warping of tattoos around the body, and in some cases, excessive body hair covering the tattoo.
We will utilize context-based image retrieval to find a tattoo in a database which means using one image to query against a database in order to find similar tattoos. We will focus specifically on the keypoint detection process in computer vision. In addition, we are interested in finding not just exact matches but also similar tattoos.
We will conclude that the ORB detector pulls the most relevant features and thus is the best chance for yielding an accurate result from content-based image retrieval for tattoos. However, we will also show that even ORB will not work on its own in a content-based image retrieval system. Other processes will have to be involved in order to return accurate matches. We will give recommendations on next-steps to create a better tattoo retrieval system.

Angel, G. "In the skin : an ethnographic-historical approach to a museum collection of preserved tattoos." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2013. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1416295/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis deals with a collection of 300 preserved tattooed human skin fragments held in storage at the Science Museum, London. Historically part of the Wellcome medical collections, these skins are of European origin and date from c.1850-1920. The collection was purchased in 1929 on behalf of Sir Henry Wellcome from a Parisian physician, and is exemplary with respect to its size and coherence. The thesis argues for the significance of such collections for the understanding of the material culture of medicine. As little archival material relating to this particular collection survives, it is contextualised both in relation to the contemporary museum setting, and within nineteenth-century medical and criminological discourses surrounding the tattoo. Through the adoption of a combined auto-ethnographic and historiographical approach, this thesis sets out to explore all aspects of the collection. The structure of the thesis demonstrates this method and reflects my working process: The project is first situated within the contemporary museum context, and framed within an ethical and political field in which human remains have been problematised. This context underpins a theoretical approach that redefines these remains as hybrid entities, and informs a multi-sensory, auto-ethnographic working method within the museum environment. A close visio-material analysis of the tattooed skins then explores both their substance and iconography in some detail. The collection of skins is then situated within the broader historical contexts of flaying; nineteenth-century collecting practices and medical and criminological discourses on the tattoo; an analysis of historical procedures and contexts of skin preservation and display; and a visual analysis of the iconography of the tattoos and critical discussion of their reading. Through this approach, I demonstrate that the tattoo was a highly ambiguous and frequently stigmatised sign in the late nineteenth century, whose polysemic and fugitive meaning eluded criminologists who sought to assimilate them into taxonomies of deviance. Similarly, as contemporary museum artefacts, they resist simple categorisation and interpretation, necessitating an interdisciplinary, ethnographical-historical approach, which enables a multi-faceted understanding of their substance, significance and origins.

Resultados: Dos 205 estudantes universitários 138 (67,3%) eram do género feminino (Tabela1). 186 (90,7%) pertenciam á região norte (Tabela3). A maioria (85,5%) referem ser da área de Medicina Dentária. Em relação ao uso de piercings 37 (18,0%) são utilizadores (Tabela 8). Em relação ao uso de tatuagens 11 (5,4%) são utilizadores (Tabela 12). A barreira que mais impossibilitava fazer um piercing ou tatuagem eram os pais (Tabela15). Verificou-se que 109 (53,2%) tinham o conhecimento de complicações na saúde com a aplicação de piercings ou tatuagens (Tabela 16). Conclusão: É necessário uma maior formação, conhecimento, atitude e comportamentos por parte do estudantes de Medicina Dentária uma vez que no futuro poderão ter, quer como utilizadores, quer como médicos que "lidar" e "saber lidar" bem com esses dispositivos no âmbito da clínica MD e do aconselhamento em SO. Em função dos resultados obtidos, seria vantajoso proceder nesta linha de estudo numa amostra maior. Introduction: The body art acts as an expression of personality, seeking a group acceptance and demonstration of uncompromising attitude, leaving a permanent impression, as is the case and tattoos piercings, and has been practiced for centuries by different ethnic groups. The prevalence of piercing by college students is 51% while the use of tattoos is 22%. Object: The purpose of this study was to determine the degree of knowledge and attitudes regarding the use of tattoos or piercings by a group of students in the field of dentistry. Methods: We performed a literature search over the past 10 years, at PubMed, SciELO and B-on, crossing the key words and using the English, Spanish and Portuguese languages. In the year 2009 / 2010 during the days of Dentistry, Faculty of Health Sciences, University Fernando Pessoa, prior to a talk about piercings and tattoos, a survey was undertaken, voluntary, anonymous and of self fulfillment. Results: Of the 205 students 138 (67.3%) were female (Table 1). 186 (90.7%) belonged to the northern region (Table 3). The majority (85.5%) refer to the field of dentistry. Regarding the use of piercing 37 (18.0%) are users (Table 8). Regarding the use of tattoos 11 (5.4%) are users (Table 12). The main barrier for not doing a piercing or tattoo was the parental consebt (Table15). It was found that 109 (53.2%) were aware of the health complications by the application of tattoos or piercings (Table 16). Conclusion: More training, knowledge, attitude and behavior are needed on the part of students of dentistry since the future they may have, either as users or as physicians, to "handle" and "coping" with these devices, in the scope of the clinical MD practice and giving advice on OH. Depending on the results obtained, it would be advantageous to carry on this line of study on a larger sample.

Full textAbstract:
Background. Evidence to date remains equivocal regarding the association between tattooing and various transfusion-transmitted diseases (TTDs).Objectives. To determine whether there is an association between the presence or specific characteristics of ornamental tattoos and one or more of the following infections: HBV, HCV, HIV, Chagas' disease, and syphilis.
Methods. Type of study: Hospital-based cross-sectional pair-matched study. Setting: Teaching hospital and blood bank in a Brazilian town. Study population: Adults 18 years of age and over who were admitted to the hospital, attended the outpatient clinic or volunteered to donate blood. Exclusion criteria: medical conditions causing transitory or permanent intellectual impairment; physical impossibility to provide blood specimens or information. Exposure of interest: Having at least one permanent ornamental tattoo. Covariates: Several socio-demographic and behavioral characteristics. Outcomes of interest: Presence of serological markers for one or more of the following infections: HIV, HBV, HCV, Chagas' disease and syphilis. Matching variables: Individuals with tattoos (exposed group) were pair-matched to individuals without tattoos (unexposed group) on age, sex, and main clinical complaint. Assessment of the exposure: Interview and inspection of the tattoo(s). Assessment of the outcomes: Positive or negative laboratory findings as follows for each infection: HBV - HBsAg and anti-HBc (ELISA); HCV - anti-HCV (ELISA); HIV - anti-HIV (ELISA); Chagas' disease - anti-Trypanosoma cruzi (IFA, ELISA and/or IHA); syphilis - VDRL.
Results. 345 subjects were included in the study, 182 with tattoos and 163 without tattoos. Having a tattoo was associated with HCV (adjusted OR: 6.41; 95% CI: 1.29, 31.84), and with having at least one positive test for any TTD (adjusted OR: 2.05; 95% CI: 1.11, 3.81). Among the subjects with tattoos associations were found between an increasing number of tattoos and HBV infection (adjusted OR: 2.04 (95% CI: 1.80, 9.97) for two tattoos and 3.48 (95% CI: 1.41, 8.58) for three or more tattoos), having a nonprofessional tattoo and testing positive for at least one TTD (adjusted OR: 3.25; 95% CI: 1.39, 7.59), and having three or more tattoos and testing positive for at least one TTD (adjusted OR: 2.98; 1.03, 8.64).
Conclusion. The presence of tattoo(s) may be useful in certain settings for the screening of blood donors, mostly because tattoos are associated with good indicators of TTD such as intravenous drug use.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the incorporation of human cremated remains into objects and tattoos in a range of contemporary practices in British society. Referred to collectively in this study as ‘ashes creations’, the practices explored in this research include human cremation ashes irreversibly incorporated or transformed into: jewellery, glassware, diamonds, paintings, tattoos, vinyl records, photograph frames, pottery, and mosaics. This research critically analyses the commissioning, production, and the lived experience of the incorporation of human cremation ashes into objects and tattoos from the perspective of two groups of people who participate in these practices: people who have commissioned an ashes creations incorporating the cremation ashes of a loved one and people who make or sell ashes creations. This qualitative study begins by exploring processes of commissioning; it argues that ashes creations are practices concerned with commissioners’ desires to maintain spatial proximities and an intimate relatedness with their deceased loved ones. The thesis moves on to explore the making of ashes creations, tracing how conceptual and physical boundaries are transcended as creative materials and cremation ashes irreversibly intermingle. The ashes creations that emerge from these processes perform as subjects and objects as they are experienced as loved ones and beloved things. Concluding with an exploration of how ashes creations are lived with in participants’ ongoing lives, this thesis considers the ways in which intimate relatedness is enacted through performances of presence. These performances are characterised by notions of loved ones returning as the deceased continues to participate in the lives of the living. What emerges, across the materially disparate practices of ashes creations, are recurring narratives of relationality, uniqueness, and presence. As cremation ashes are increasingly being located away from landscapes traditionally associated with death and towards the spatial domains of the living, this study contributes to our understanding of the personalised practices that people engage in with cremation ashes.

Full textAbstract:
Dissertação de Mestrado em Família e GéneroNas sociedades ocidentais, os assuntos corporais têm sido motivo de interesse e investigação sobretudo a partir da década de 1980. O corpo tende a tornar-se uma matéria prima pronta a moldar, uma construção pessoal elaborada pelo sujeito que o transforma. Associada a essa construção estão diversas modificações corporais, como as tatuagens. As tatuagens sofreram uma renovação a nível gráfico, simbólico e social conduzindo a uma padronização do universo das modificações corporais e ao surgimento de novas práticas de consumo. Tanto homens como mulheres foram sendo cada vez mais atraídos para inscreverem tatuagens nas suas peles, à medida que a sua associação às dissidências sociais se foi diluindo e surgiram novos significados. Numa sociedade de consumo com regras de comportamento rígidas, os sujeitos são encorajados a seguirem determinados projectos corporais pré-definidos. Por isso, quando falamos em tatuagens extensas estamos a falar de práticas desviantes a esses padrões previamente definidos. No entanto, as mulheres parecem esquecidas como participantes nesta prática, especialmente se estivermos a falar de corpos femininos extensamente tatuados, constituindo desse modo um fenómeno silencioso numa sociedade de consumo com regras de comportamento feminino rígidas. O cenário apresentado torna pertinente o estudo acerca deste fenómeno, de forma a contribuir para suscitar, à sua escala, mais interesse académico a nível nacional. O presente trabalho pretende interrogar-se sobre o papel que as tatuagens têm na construção das identidades femininas. Propondo-se a responder aos objectivos: identificar os motivos que levam as mulheres a tatuar os seus corpos; caracterizar a importância e visibilidade destas modificações corporais nas suas vidas; descrever os seus contextos sociais, profissionais e familiares. Com uma metodologia assente nos procedimentos qualitativos, com recurso às técnicas da entrevista semi-estruturada a mulheres com tatuagens extensivas pelo corpo em zonas visíveis, ou seja, tatuagens onde a exposição pública é mais difícil de camuflar. Estas mulheres quando se tatuam extensivamente ganham novos projectos corporais que não se encontram registados na sociedade. As tatuagens são assim uma representação do eu, uma exteriorização de um self planeado tendo em conta as pressões sociais e os problemas que daí podem advir. As modificações corporais mudam a imagem que as mulheres têm do seu corpo e a auto-estima aumenta. Prevalece a vontade de continuar o projecto e resistir às normas de comportamento e beleza ocidentais.
In the western societies, there has been a lot of investigation around the body since 1980. The body as a whole concept tends to become a resource that can be worked upon at the will of the individual, and one of the common ways to change the body aspect is through tattoos. Tattoos suffered a big transformation in their graphics, social and symbolical design in the last decades of the twentieth century, which contributed to the standardization of the changes that can be made to the human body. Men and Women were slowly but surely attracted by the general idea of getting tattoos, and as these were spreading throughout the different social classes they earned new insightful meanings. In a consumerist society with strict rules when it comes to behavior, individuals are forced to follow standardized body projects. Furthermore, when we speak about heavily tattooed bodies, we can acknowledge that these individuals deviate from the previously determined standards. And if we focus on women, these almost seem forgotten about their tattoos, especially the heavily tattooed bodies create a silent social phenomenon within the same consumerists societies. This scenario makes the study of the phenomenon a useful and prolific way of understanding tattoos in a social context, and possibly generate more interest surrounding this subject. Our work tries to identify the role of tattoos in the foundations of the female identity. Our objective consist of: identifying the reasons that take women to get tattoos, understanding the importance and visibility of these body changes and their social, professional and personal context. Using a methodology based on qualitative procedures, with a special focus on data recovered from in-depht interviews to women who have highly visible tattoos that are hard to hide in a public scenario. Our findings revealed that women with an overwhelming number of tattoos, have gained new body projects that are not contained inside the norms of society. Tattoos are a clear representation of the "I", as well as a way to show the criteria in which the "Self" can express itself, showing a disdain towards the social pressure. These body changes create an image that each individual wants of his own body and also raises their self-esteem as a result of set changes. Ultimately the will of pursuing each personal projects prevails over any behavior or beauty standards.

Syfte Studien handlar om att undersöka ifall tatueringar påverkar uppfattningen om professionalism hos tandläkarstudenter och personal på tandvårdshögskolan i Malmö. Syftet är att lyfta fram vad olika grupper anser om dessa kroppsmodifikationer men också bidra till ökad insikt inom och bland dessa grupper. Material och metod En enkätundersökning granskade deltagarnas förhållning till professionalism gällande tatueringsmotiv, storlek, kompetens, ansvarsfullhet, hygien, etik, pålitlighet, anställningsbarhet och klinikens/yrkesgruppens rykte. Resultat 196 deltagare deltog i studien, 132 studenter och 64 personal. Mellan dessa grupper påvisades ingen statistisk signifikans förutom gällande yrkesgruppens och klinikens rykte. Datan visade att män var mer negativa än kvinnor, yngre kvinnor var mer positiva än övriga deltagare och tatuerade var mer accepterande. Ett stötande motiv eller stor tatuering hade en negativ påverkan på professionalismen. Slutsats Inga skillnader kunde påvisas mellan studenter och personalen gällande synen på professionalism och tatueringar. Variabler som påverkade synen på professionalismen var deltagarnas ålder, kön och om hen var tatuerad eller ej.Purpose The aim of this study is to investigate whether tattoos affect the perception of professionalism among dental students and staff at the School of Dentistry in Malmö. The purpose is to highlight what different groups think about these body modifications but also contribute to increased insight within and among these groups. Material and method A survey was used to examine participants' attitudes towards professionalism regarding tattoo motifs, size, competence, responsibility, hygiene, ethics, reliability, employability and the clinic / occupational group's reputation. Results 196 participants participated in the study, 132 students and 64 staff. No statistical significance was demonstrated between these groups other than the reputation of the clinic and the occupational group. The data showed that men were more negative than women, younger women were more positive than other participants and tattooed were more accepting. An offensive motive or large tattoo had a negative impact on professionalism. Conclusion No differences could be demonstrated between students and staff regarding the view of professionalism and tattoos. Variables that affected the view of professionalism were the participants' age, gender and whether they were tattooed or not.

Full textAbstract:
As permanent tattoos are becoming more popular and common, an increased number of allergic reactions to tattoos is reported. The purpose of this project was to analyze tattoo inks for hazardous substances, and whether they comply to current Swedish and European legislative requirements. The tattoo inks were qualitatively analyzed for pigments, and quantitatively analyzed for metals. A total of 73 tattoo inks were collected from various sources such as a tattoo ink supplier, online retailers, and provided directly from tattoo artists. The labels of each tattoo ink bottle were inspected to investigate their compliance with the Council of Europe and the Swedish Medical Products Agency. Matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-ToF-MS) was used to qualitatively analyze 20 selected tattoo inks for different pigments. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used to quantitatively analyze trace metals in 70 of the samples. A large majority (90%) of the tested samples violated the requirements and criteria in the European resolution ResAP 2008(1), such as information on name and address of the manufacturer, minimum date of durability, sterility, batch number, and storage. Patch and allergy testing were incorrectly recommended for many samples in a way that is not accepted by dermatologists. In a worst-case scenario, this testing could be a sensitizing step. Also, it can not prevent future allergic reactions from occurring or provide any juridical insurance. Only one brand, World Famous, fulfilled the requirements for labeling for six of the seven samples (one sample failed due to a faulty declared pigment). The brands Tang Dragon and Dynamic did not fulfill any of the requirements listed in ResAP 2008(1). The list of ingredients was incorrect for all samples from Tang Dragon (bought prior to 2019 online). Also, six of the other 50 samples from different brands (World Famous, Intenze, Fusion Tattoo Ink, Eternal Ink, Solid Ink) declared at least one pigment incorrectly in their ingredients list. 25% of the declared and theoretically detectable pigments were detected by means of MALDI-ToF-MS, whereas the other pigments were either absent or below the limit of detection. Future analyses should include an MS/MS analysis. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) was identified qualatively in 15 of the 20 samples analyzed with MALDI-ToF-MS but was not listed in any of the ingredients lists. ICP-QQQ-MS is a very sensitive technique and could both detect and verify the presence of all metal-containing pigments, as well as the level of impurities. Copper was clearly more present in green and blue colors, regardless of the brand. The metal content was evidently dependent on the brand for arsenic, aluminum, bismuth, chromium, nickel, zinc, and strontium. Elevated levels of barium and strontium (partially very high levels: up to 727 mg/kg barium and up to 8.06 g/kg strontium) were found in several samples. High amounts of aluminum (4 to 11,0 g/kg) and titanium (as judged from white precipitates and ingredients lists) were present in most samples. Nickel (0.1 to 41 mg/kg) and chromium (0.1 to 139 mg/kg) were also present in the samples. Some other impurities were also present (arsenic – 3.8 mg/kg, mercury – 1.6 mg/kg, and lead – 5.4 mg/kg for one sample, respectively). Known sensitizing pigments were declared and partially confirmed by MALDI-ToF-MS in 17 of 53 samples of the brands Radiant Colour, Eternal Ink, Fusion Tattoo Ink, and Kuro Sumi. Four samples (from Intenze, Eternal Ink, and Kuro Sumi) also declared pigments listed as non-suitable substance according to the European Commission regulation on cosmetic products from 2009.

En esta investigación se analizó el uso de los principios gráficos en la representación de elementos de la cultura popular peruana dentro del tatuaje. Se postuló como hipótesis que los estilos que conforman esta práctica afectan la ejecución de dichos elementos, por lo tanto, su representación está condicionada por el estilo en el que se realiza el tatuaje, al tener reglas ya establecidas. Para comprobarla, se analizó la producción de tres tatuadores locales con la temática mencionada, complementándolo con entrevistas a expertos. Los resultados de ambos sugieren que en el discurso visual del tatuaje se emplean elementos de la cultura popular que escapan de los que convencionalmente se les atribuye dicha categoría. Debido a que se representan el transporte público, el combo de comida rápida, los platos típicos y la Inca Kola. Igualmente, se observó que el color, contraste, tamaño y posición son los más afectados por los estilos y por otros factores como el elemento, la región del cuerpo, la piel y el tatuador. A partir de lo mencionado, se llegó a la conclusión de que los principios gráficos dentro del tatuaje que representan lo popular son afectados por una variedad de factores además del estilo. Además, se están utilizando estos elementos considerados triviales dentro del discurso del tatuaje antes que otros, debido a que busca crear una relación entre el diseño, el cuerpo y lo que identifica al sujeto como peruano, por lo que busca representar su estilo de vida a nivel personal.In this research, the use of graphic principles in the representation of elements of Peruvian popular culture within the tattoo was analyzed. It was postulated as a hypothesis that the styles that conform this practice affect the execution of such elements, therefore, its representation is conditioned by the style in which the tattoo is performed, having already established rules. In order to verify it, the production of three local tattooists with the mentioned subject was analyzed, complementing it with interviews to experts. The results of both suggest that the visual discourse of tattooing uses elements of popular culture that escape those conventionally attributed to them. Due to the fact that public transportation, fast food combo, typical dishes and Inca Kola are represented. Likewise, it was observed that the color, contrast, size and position are the most affected by the styles and other factors such as the element, the region of the body, the skin and the tattooist. From the above, it was concluded that the graphic principles within the tattoo that represent the popular are affected by a variety of factors in addition to style. Furthermore, these elements are being used as trivial elements within the tattooing discourse before others, because it seeks to create a relationship between the design, the body and what identifies the subject as Peruvian, so it seeks to represent his lifestyle on a personal level.

Full textAbstract:
Magister Artium - MAThis study used a multisemiotic/multimodal discourse analysis approach to analyze tattoos of selected female students at three Western Cape Universities: the University of the Western Cape (UWC), the University of Cape Town (UCT), and Stellenbosch University (SUN). This study looked at the popular cultural practice of tattooing as a site for identity formation. The aim of this research project was to establish how popular culture is semiotized and resemiotized on corporeal landscapes. The focus was on the kind of semiotics that female students draw on when getting their tattoos, and also where they put these tattoos. The researcher intended to investigate the semiotics of female bodies within the broader field of linguistic landscaping, with a specific look at corporeal linguistic landscapes (Peck & Stroud, 2015). This research was also interested in establishing whether the historical background of each university has an influence on the student population, and subsequently, the tattoos they choose to inscribe on their bodies. This study sought to answer whether there are similarities and/or differences in the tattoos the participants chose across the different campuses and to what effect the social context affects the type of tattoos they chose. All participants were selected via purposive sampling. This means that only those with visible tattoos were approached, as they met the criteria described above (cf. Patton, 1990; Kumar, 1999). Methodologically, interviews as well as text data collection were used to collect the data. In addition, a multimodal text analysis was used as the tattoos were read as texts. Among others, the findings indicated that female participants negotiate their femininity by acquiring traditionally feminine tattoo designs, relatively small in size, which are typically placed where they can be concealed easily. This in contrast with male tattoo designs which tend to be bigger and more visible. It was found that there was preference for solitary texts designs across the three campuses followed by a combination of text and image. In terms of agency, it was found that participants were agentive by being able to control who read and how others read their bodies. The study concludes that women are mindful of their female identity when they choose the designs, sizes and placements of their tattoos. It was found that they typically defy social norms through getting tattoos, but at the same time adhere to social (and feminine) norms by using small tattoos emplaced in hidden body spaces. This means there is a restriction on who is allowed to consume the tattoos. This study adds to a deeper understanding of tattooing as popular culture at universities in post-apartheid South Africa. It also contributes to recent development in corporeal linguistic landscapes studies. In turn, it offers a profound understanding of the concept of ‘skinscapes,’ which allows for a deeper understanding of how female bodies are ‘authored’ by the tattooee as well as how they are ‘read’ and consumed by onlookers.

Full textAbstract:
Tatueringskonsten är uråldrig och har präglats av negativa attityder och stigmatisering samt att forskning har visat att tatueringar påverkar tillskrivningen av egenskaper. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om tatueringar kan förstärka tillskrivningen av egenskaper när en individ anses vara vårdad eller ovårdad. Studien utfördes genom ett experiment där fyra versioner av bilder på en kvinna manipulerats utifrån resultatet av en pilotstudie som undersökte vårdadhet. Resultatet visade att tatueringar har en signifikant påverkan på tillskrivningen av positiva sociala egenskaper där kvinnan med tatueringar skattades högre än sin icke-tatuerade motpart. Tatueringar hade ingen effekt på indexen Utseende och Kompetens. Ingen interaktionseffekt mellan vårdadhet och tatueringar identifierades. Resultatet går i linje med forskning från de senaste tre åren och tyder på att bilden av tatuerade har förändrats. Förslag till framtida forskning är att replikera studien med starkare manipulation av variabeln vårdadhet samt studera tidigare undersökta områden för att verifiera attityden till tatuerade.

Detta projekt gick ut på att undersöka ergonomiska problem med tatueringsmaskiner som finns på marknaden idag, att generera koncept om hur att förbättra problemen, och att sedan utveckla de koncepten i form av ritningar, CAD modeller och fysiska modeller. Processen börjades med att framföra en grundlig marknadsundersökning. Det som ingick i marknadsundersökningen var en infosökning, en kundundersökning i form av en enkät som skickades till tatuerare, och ett självtest av två olika tatueringsmaskiner. Resultaten som togs fram från marknadsundersökningen var att de största ergonomiska problemen var ljudnivå, vibrationsnivå, maskinvikt och balans, problem med grepp, och sladdkontroll. Områdena delades upp i tre olika problemgrupper vars fokus blev: tatueringsmaskin (apropå ljud, vibration och maskinvikt), greppet, och sladdkontroll. Genom en konceptgenereringsprocess togs fram tre nya produkter: en tatueringsmaskin som reducerar ljud- och vibrationsnivån och är enkelt att rengöra, ett silikon grepp som dämpar vibration och ger tatuerare ett bekvämt och återanvändningsbart alternativ, och ett silikon armband som reducerar viktpåverkan på handleden och eliminerar frustrationer om sladdkontroll. De tre koncepten blev utvalda på grund av att de presenterade de bästa lösningarna till ergonomiska problemen som kom fram via marknadsundersökning och dessa försäljningsmöjligheter. De slutliga koncepten presenterades sedan i form av en presentation och fysiska modeller på KEXPO utställningen.This project was based on completion of an analysis of ergonomical problems with tattoo machines that exist on the market today, the generation of concepts to improve the situation, and the development of new concepts in the form of sketches, CAD models and physical models. The process began by completing a thorough market analysis. This was done via an information study, a customer survey in the form of a questionnaire that was sent to several tattoo artists, and a self-test in which two different tattoo machines were studied. The result of this analysis showed that the major ergonomic problems had to do with noise level, vibration level, machine weight and balance, poor grip ergonomics, and problems with cord control. These issues were then divided into problem focus areas, that is: tattoo machines (as to problems with noise, vibration and weight), grip, and cord control.Through an extensive concept-generation process, three different solutions were developed: a light-weight tattoo machine which decreases noise- and vibration-levels and made sanitization simple, a silicone grip which dampens vibrations and presents a comfortable and reusable alternative, and a silicone bracelet which reduces poor ergonomic effects on the wrist and eliminates frustration due to poor cord control. These three concepts were chosen due to the fact that they represented the best possible solutions to the ergonomic problems that were found during market research and because of their sales potential. They were then shown in the form of a presentation and physical model at the KEXPO exhibit.
