Meredith Kestel is dancing around to Kanye West’s “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” in a studio above the heart of Ames. She looks over her shoulder in the mirror at the tattoo stencil of a moon in purplish-black ink positioned on her upper-left back. “I love this so much and it’s not even permanently on my body!” “Yet,” her tattoo artist, Daniel Forrester, reminds her as he is preparing his tattooing equipment. Forrester is a resident tattoo artist and founder of InkBlot in Ames. He has been tattooing longer than Kestel has been walking and talking — approximately 20 years. This is not Kestel’s first tattoo, but this will be the first time five people will be watching and recording every second of her experience. As part of research for this story on tattoo trends, she agreed to get a tattoo based on popular tattoo design styles.

    BENEATH THE SURFACE If you’re reading this you know we’re always putting up pictures on social media and trying to share our journey. Thanks for following along by the way! But have you ever noticed our tattoos? Runners, for whatever reason, seem to like getting tattoos and we’re no exception. And like most, each of our tattoos come with a story. So we thought it’d be cool to show you guys those tattoos, and tell you those stories, and maybe you’ll get to know a few things about us you didn’t know before. Enjoy! SCOTT SMITH Despite tattoos being an obvious outward expression I have generally considered them to be personal. In acknowledging this contradiction, I will explain the ink forever im- bedded in the skin of my left shoulder. When I left Flagstaff back in 2013 I wasn’t sure if I would ever return as a resident or professional runner. I wanted to commemorate this incredible place and how fortunate I was (and still am) to lead the life I did (and still do). Despite toying with the idea of having the cooks at Diablo Burger sear the letters “db” into me with the bun branding iron, I settled on a tattoo and left it up to the artist, who came up with some mountain peaks surrounded by aspen leaves. I am now fortu- nate enough to call Flagstaff home again for half of the year and I am still just as happy and proud to be a part of this community.

  • An Analysis of Tattoo Removal. Master of Arts
    LIVING WITH S(K)IN: AN ANALYSIS OF TATTOO REMOVAL Emily Downing, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2004 APPROVED: Brian Lain, Major Professor John M. Allison Jr., Committee Member Lori Byers, Committee Member John Gossett, Chair of the Department of Communication Studies Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Downing, Emily, Living with s(k)in: An analysis of tattoo removal. Master of Arts (Communication Studies), August 2004, 94 pp., references, 28 titles. This paper investigates the role of tattoo removal in postmodernity. Specifically, I suggest tattoo removal is a technology of self in which the tattooed person can attain absolution from a “sinful” tattoo. This paper explores the construction of the confessional act in two parts: the construction of the confessing subject and the construction of the medical clinic as the confessor’s listener. Using the texts medical offices place on the internet to advertise their services, I investigate the text’s interpellation of subjects desiring tattoo removal. I then examine the construction of the clinic’s status in the confessional act. Websites and brochures on gang tattoo removal provide a dialogue in which the clinic negotiates and attains its powerful position in the confessional act. The paper concludes by investigating the implications of the tattoo remnant, the material effects of the technology of self, and the benefits of studying the body-skin in rhetoric.

(September 11, 2017) –Ray Willis was in the middle of the sweltering Amazon rainforest earlier this year when a complete stranger took one look at the tattoo emblazoned on Willis’ right shoulder above the words, “Original Gangsta,” and said, “That’s John DeStefano.” Willis, a city employee who crowdsourced funding for the tattoo to commemorate the New Haven mayor’s record-breaking 20-year career, was shocked. A large photo of Willis’s tattoo is just one of the many quirky items that will be featured in “Old-School Ink: New Haven’s Tattoos,” an exhibition opening on September 23 at the New Haven Museum. From 2 to 6 p.m., the afternoon’s events will feature hands-on activities; temporary tattoos; professional photography of visitors and their tattoos, a storytelling booth with the New Haven Story Project, and a reception with the artists from 4 to 6 pm. The exhibit will remain on view through March 10, 2018. The free opening is being held by the Museum to mark Museum Day Live!, a national celebration sponsored each year by Smithsonian Magazine: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/museumday/museum-day-live-2017/. “Old School Ink” guest curator Elinor Slomba enlisted New Haven photojournalist Corey Hudson in her examination of why and where locals get tattoos, and how the industry, public policy, and aesthetics surrounding the art of tattooing have evolved over time.

  • Written in the Flesh: the Transformational Magic of the Tattoo
    Figure 1 “Untitled”, June 2007, Hannah Starkey, Photographs 1997-2017/Courtesy of Mack Written in the Flesh The Transformational Magic of the Tattoo Joan Golden-Alexis To tattoo one’s body is merely one of the thousand ways of conjugating the verb ‘to be’ that fundamental concept of our metaphysics—Michael Thévos What lies deepest of all in man, is the skin—Paul Valery In this paper I am going to approach the subject of the tattoo and the process of tattooing from two perspectives; the socio-political, and the personal. Ultimately, on the most intimate level, in the realm of the personal, I will explore the psychic process of six people who have chosen to tattoo their bodies. I began my introduction to those who seek tattoos, and particularly the six people in this study, by spending one day each week in various tattoo studios. I listened, and listened, and never spoke. I soon discovered that the relationship between the tattoo artist and the person seeking a tattoo was often exquisitely intimate. The tattoo artist began the conversation by simply asking, “What kind of tattoo do you want?” Within seconds, a breathtaking story would unfold, transforming the moment from the present into something that held something old, and the beginning of something new. The artist would then excuse himself to sketch the tattoo. I marveled time and time, again, at how the artist could fathom so much, with so little information to go on. I never interfered in the dialogue between artist and client; I just listened. After some time, I began to get a feel for those artists and those clients that touched something in me.
