An estimated twenty percent of all adults have at east one, and women are increasingly getting tattoos and are now more likely than men to have one. But many of the tattoos that women get are gender- appropriate: they are cute, small, and can be easily hidden. A small dolphin on the ankle, a black line on the lower back, a flower on the hip, and a child's name on the shoulder blade are among the popular choices. But what about women who are heavily tattooed? Why would a woman get "sleeves"? And why do some collect larger-scale tattoos on publicly visible skin, of imagery not typically considered feminine or cute, like skulls, zombies, snakes, or dragons? Drawing on five years of ethnographic research and interviews with more than seventy heavily tattoed women, 'Covered in Ink' provides insight into the increasingly visible subculture of tattoed women. Author Beverly Yuen Thompson spent time in tattoo parlors and at tattoo conventions in order to further understand women's love of ink and their imagery choices as well as their struggle with gender norms, employment discrimination, and family rejection. Still, many of these women feel empowered by their tattoes and believe they are creating a space for self-expression that also presents a positive body image. 'Covered in Ink' investigates this complicated subculture and finds out the many meanings of the love of ink"--Page 4 of cover. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Women|xPsychology.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85147333 650 0 Tattooing|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85132770|xSocial aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00002758 650 0 Body image in women.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh97002859 650 7 Women|xPsychology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1176894 650 7 Tattooing|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1143555 650 7 Tattooing.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1143549 650 7 Body image in women.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 835361 650 7 Women.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0001509 650 7 Womyn.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0001516 650 7 Tattoos.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0001356 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aThompson, Beverly Yuen.|tCovered in ink. |dNew York : New York University Press, [2015] |z9780814760000|w(DLC) 2015004163|w(OCoLC)893452349 830 0 Alternative criminology series.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n2003112132 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1016520|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
