Can I See Your Tattoo?: The Narrative and Social Significance of Body Art

Category: News

Kathryn Rutkowski, English
(Faculty Mentor: Dr. Dalyn Luedtke)

While tattoos have been the subject of study, there have been few published studies on the descriptions and explanations that people give of their body art rather than the images themselves. Using cluster criticism to chart the terms that appeared in individual descriptions of tattoos submitted on the study’s website, this project analyzed how individuals discuss their art choices and how they reflect any social values or trends.
