Bodies of Subversion: A Secret History of Women and Tattoo by Margot Mifflin

4.0

An interesting look at the partly forgotten history of tattoo that manages to blend individual stories and critical political, cultural and anthropological analysis. Even for an enthusiast like myself, the book offered new information and a narrative so much more interesting than but how will your tattoos look when your old. Well, first of all, my body is not a commodity, and second: fucking fantastic. I can't believe we're still talking about this. Read the book and educate yourself, fool.
