ARE THERE REFERENCES ABOUT TATTOOS I COULD LOOK UP?

When I first started looking around for references about tattoos, all I
found were scholarly journal articles about how juvenile delinquents and
prisoners had tattoos, or how tattoos were an indicator for psychosis. I
*knew* there had to be more stuff out there. However, a quick look
through the Lexis/Nexis online (fee-based) database revealed *thousands*
of RECENT citations on bodyart. When a mainstream comic strip like
"Cathy" mentions a navel ring, you are apt to get a lot of forgettable
articles.

I eventually plan to pare this list down to a quality annotated
bibliography. I also plan to include in this bibliography a listing of
sources that you could use for ideas on various designs.



Subject: TATTOOS IN MOVIES/VIDEOS This is not a comprehensive list, and does not include videos that are produced for tattoo conventions; but rather, easily accessible movies and videos where tattoos are used in some significant form. This wonderful movie bibliography was compiled by Carl Shapiro (carl@lvsun.COM) unless otherwise noted: Tattoos play minor, but sometimes interesting, roles in these movies: "Blues Brothers". John Belushi, Dan Akroyd Reviewer: Ray Hamel (hamel@primate.wisc.edu) -The brothers have their names tattooed on their knuckles. "Cape Fear" (1991). Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte. -A tattooed psychopath preys on a Southern lawyer and his family. "Double Exposure" (1987). Mark Hennessy, Scott King. -2 photographers turn sleuth after taking a picture of a tattooed blonde. "The Jigsaw Murders" (1989). Chad Everett, Michelle Johnson. -A police detective and a doctor solve a gruesome mystery with a puzzle and tattoo as clues. "Lethal Weapon" Mel Gibson Reviewer: A.D.C.Elly (A.D.C.Elly@bnr.co.uk) -The cops recognise that one of the men they're after is a "Special Forces" man because a little boy saw his tattoo (which matches the one Riggs got when he was Special Forces). "Man Against the Mob: The Chinatown Murders" (1989). George Peppard, Ursula Andress. -Odd tattoos on corpses lead a detective to a Los Angeles nightclub. "Night of the Hunter" (1991). Richard Chamberlain, Diana Scarwid. -A crook's family is prey to a preacher who has "LOVE" and "HATE" knuckle tattoos. "Night of the Hunter" (1955). Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters -Original (and much better) version of above. Mitchum is fantastic; very scary. "Once were warriors" (1994). Rena Owen, Temuera Morrison, Mamaengaroa Kerr-Bell - Hailed by critics everywhere, this independent New Zealand film released by Communicado film distributed by Fine Line Features, tells a bittersweet tale of a Maori family renched apart by alcoholism and abuse. At the core is Beth Heke, whose desire to save her family serves as the center of this tale. Authentic native Maori tattoos seen throughout the film. "The Phoenix" (1992). Jamie Summers, E.Z. Rider. -Tattoo master seeks perfect canvas. "Poison Ivy" has a scene about it Reviewer: Abu (jdaley@scf.usc.edu) "Raising Arizona". Nicholas Cage. Reviewer: Todd Liebenow (squonk@camelot.bradley.edu) -Cage's character has a tattoo of a Woody Woodpecker head on his arm. At the end of the movie when he's fighting the lone biker of the apoclypse we find out that the biker has the same tattoo. However, we never find out what all this means. "Romper Stomper" (1993). Distributed by Seon Films, made by Film Victoria. Reviewer: Pierre Honeyman (pierre@amisk.cs.ualberta.ca) A love story among tattooed skinheads, there are some very good tattoos in this movies, although the racist content may offend some viewers. The movie is not about racism. "Sonny Boy" * (1990). David Carradine, Paul L. Smith. -A demented brute and his hairy tattooed wife lose control of their wild child, bred to kill. "Tales from the Crypt" Contributor: Abu (jdaley@scf.usc.edu) -There's an episode with Tia Carrera about a guy whose tattoo gets...under his skin. "Tattoo Chase" (1989). F. Richards Ford, Michael Gregory. -An heir has 60 days to find the treasure-map tattoo on one of his father's global girlfriends. "The Tattooed Stranger" (1950). John Miles, Patricia White. -A New York police detective tracks down a killer using a tattoo clue. They play major roles in these movies: "Charles Gatewood's Tattoo San Francisco" (1988). San Francisco, CA : Flash Video. 60 min. Review: Short segments on tattoo enthusiasts and artists in the Bay Area. Vyvyn Lazonga and Dick Tome are interviewed, as well as others. If you liked the cover of _Modern Primitives_, its model is interviewed in here as well. Production quality (lighting, editing, etc.) will not win any Academy Awards, but the information contained is interesting. Definitely worth renting, though probably not worth buying. "The Illustrated Man" (1969). Rod Steiger, Claire Bloom. -Wonderful adaptation of Ray Bradbury's novel about a man whose body tattoos depict actual events, all shown in flashback and flash-forward. "Irezumi" (Spirit of Tattoo) (1985). Masayo Utsonomiya, Tomisaburo Wakayama, Yuhsuke Takita, Masaki Kyomoto, Harue Kyo, Naomi Shiraishi, Taiji, Tonoyama. -In this exquisitely beautiful Japanese film, a young woman consents to her lover's wish to have her tattooed, and fulfills the cycle of the tattoo master's life. Notes from Lani: I got quite a bit more out of this movie because I didn't need the subtitles. Some of the Japanese nuances and symbolism is lost to a Western audience. Some of the more important points to note while watching this film: The seasons are one of the most common themes in Japanese literature, much like the use of colors to represent themes in Western literature. Examples in this film: -Both the master's ex-wife and son had names that started with "Haru." In Japanese, this means "Spring." The importance of this is obvious--he had both of them earlier in life, when he was still in his spring. -On the other hand, the continuous references to snow refer to the closing of his life: the snow storm in the first scene in the movie; of his telling the main character that "snowflakes would look good on your back;" the symbol of the Japanese snow flake that leads to the unraveling of his life; and the snowflake books. Other symbols and themes liberally sprinkled through the film: -Harutsune, the son, serves as a perfect amalgamation of the parents--his backpiece is done by his mother, while his full front piece is done by the father. -The theme of empowerment and independence is once again present here, as in Tanizaki Jun'ichiro's _Shisei_, the short story about the young woman who gets a large spider on her back. -The theme of the complete cycle is repeated throughout: --The change of the seasons representing the cycle of life and death (reminiscent of _Charlotte's Web_) --The woman is urged to get a tattoo by the master's wife. --The cycle after death is complete upon the last prick. "Signatures of the soul, tattooing" (1984). Peter Fonda. Producer Geoff Steven. New York, NY : Filmakers Library -Peter Fonda explores the social history of tattooing, both primitive and modern, discussing its use as ornament, badge, and personal statement. Practitioners of the art from the Pacific Islands, California, and Japan discuss the aesthetics of the art. "Tattoo" Maude Adams -A tattoo artist obsessed with a professional model abducts her and tattoos her entire body.

Review: If you are interested in bodyart as a whole beyond tattoos, this is the one book that you should have in your reference collection. The book is a collection of interviews and write-ups about a very wide spectrum, including the opener on Fakir Musafar (he is THE bodyart god, IMHO), sword swallowing, Polynesian tattoos, pierces, cuttings, etc. The section on body piercing complements Ardvark's FAQ, and has illustrations on exactly WHERE those darned genital pierces are supposed to go. Important note: This book is not for the faint-at-heart. Some of the information and text contained are very graphic--an assumption can be made that those wanting to read the book are already USED to small tattoos and nipple pierces. There is a graphic photo of a bifurcated penis, for example. You have been duly warned. Richter, Stefan. Tattoo. (Illus.). 158p. 1985. Quartet. Richie, Donald. The Japanese tattoo.

Bad Boys and Tough Tattoos: A Social History of the Tattoo with Gangs, Sailors, and Street-Corner Punks. (1950-1965). Review by Lance Bailey (zaphod@bcu.ubc.ca): Instead of a well-written mature examination of tattoos and society, we instead find Steward's full of misconceptions, incorrect facts and a dedication to link tattoos and gay sex. Presented as a formal study, Stewart claims that "it is perhaps the only volume on tattooing not dependent on tattoo photographs to boost sales." He however commits one of the writer's worst crimes by talking down to the reader. The book is sprinkled liberally with street slang instead of the language of a serious study. Worse, however is the gross inaccuracies in the book. Two examples: 1: Through out the book Steward presents himself, or rather his pseudonym Phil Sparrow, as the best tattooist in Chicago whilst he practised there. His comments on tattoos become amusing in this light and on "Famous tattoos" he comments: "The second of the legendary tattoos is a 'pack of hounds chasing a fox down across a person's back,' with the fox disapearing in the a convenient burrow...At any rate, although thousands of persons have said they have seen such a tattoo, it is hardly reasonable that I should never have seen one in 18 years and over a hundred persons." Well, Mr Sparrow should pick up a copy of "Art, sex, and symbol: the mystery of tattooing (1986)" which has several pictures of tattoos on that very theme. 2: In his section on tattooing the drunk, he says he did not mind working on someone who'd had a few drinks for courage, but the truly intoxicated should not be tattooed because "a drunk cannot sit still...he is very likely to get sick suddenly... [and] the choice of design selected was regretted as soon as they became sober. Steward seems to be completely ignorant of the fact that alcohol is an anti-coagulant and a single beer can make someone bleed like a stuck pig.
Subject: CELTIC ART/TATTOO BIBLIOGRAPHY BY PAT FISH <patfish@luckyfish.net>. CELTIC ART : THE METHODS OF CONSTRUCTION, by George Bain New York, Dover Publications [1973] 159 p. illus. 31 cm. Reprint of the 1951 ed. published by W. MacLellan, Glasgow. ISBN: 0486229238 Review: Lavishly illustrated with line drawings and photographs. This is the grand original that has inspired the Celtic revival and is an excellent start for understanding the creation of knotworks and braids. Not an easy method to master, but the best single resource book available. CELTIC KNOTWORK, by Ian Mackintosh Bain Constable 1986, 115 p., 8"x10", paper. ISBN 0-09-469810-4 If his father's work confuses you (above), take heart and try this. He teaches a method for creating knotworks in a grid that is surely close to the method used in the past. [Currently available as: Celtic knotwork / Iain Bain. New York : Sterling Pub. Co., 1992. 115 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 25 cm. ISBN: 0806986387 : $14.95] CELTIC KEY PATTERNS, by Ian Bain ISBN 0-09-471820-2, Constable 1993, 88 pages, 8"x10", paperbound The definitive text for learning how to create and reproduce the interlocking key geometric patterns.

ISBN: 0806907401 : $14.95] THE LINDISFARNE GOSPEL, introduction by Janet Backhouse ISBN 0-7148-2461-5, Department of Manuscripts, British Library illuminated pages reproduced in color, paperbound The second most influential of the ancient manuscripts from the 9th century .Beautiful inspiration, not possible to trace patterns because they are so tiny, but colors are vivid. THE BOOK OF KELLS : SELECTED PLATES IN FULL COLOR, Blanche Cirker, editor New York : Dover Publications, c1982. 32 p. : col. ill. ; 31 cm. ISBN: 0486243451 (pbk.) Review: An inspirational source, provides a reality check on the scale and intricacy of the original 9th century masterpiece. Much too miniscule in scale to be of use for tracing out patterns, but awe inspiring to study. Of particular use for coloring ideas. CELTIC DESIGNS AND MOTIFS, by Courtney Davis New York : Dover, 1991. 44 p. : chiefly ill. ; 28 cm. ISBN: 0486267180 (pbk.) : $3.95 Excellent flash source.Many knotwork and zoomorphic designs.

London : Blandford ; New York, NY : Distributed in the United States by Sterling Pub. Co., 1992. 95 p. : ill. ; 28 cm. ISBN: 0713723300 Wonderful guide to bands, braids, and designs suitable for expansion into armbands, anklets etc. CELTIC ART SOURCE BOOK, by Courtney Davis London ; New York : Blandford : Distributed in the United States by Sterling Publishing Co, 1988. [128] p. : chiefly ill. (some col.) ; 26 cm. ISBN: 0713719826 The ONLY negative thing I can say about this inspirational work is that it will raise the expectations of tattoo clients too high for what can reasonably be accomplished in the skin format. Any of these designs could translate, but many only at backpiece scale. For the use of color examples alone it stands out as a must-have in any Celtic art library. THE BOOK OF CONQUESTS, by Jim Fitzpatrick Dutton : 1978. ISBN 0525475117 (pbk.) Beautiful use of Celtic design motifs in service of storytelling, bringing the tales of the Old Ones alive.

Whether or not you believe in God, this message is a "must-read"!

Throughout time, we can see how we have been carefully conditioned coming to this point where we are on the verge of a cashless society. Did you know that Jesus foretold of this event almost 2,000 years ago?

In Revelation 13:16-18, it states,

"He (the false prophet who deceives many by his miracles--Revelation 19:20) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666."

Referring to the last generation, this could only be speaking of a cashless society. Why's that? Revelation 13:17 tells us that we cannot buy or sell unless we receive the mark of the beast. If physical money was still in use, we could buy or sell with one another without receiving the mark. This would contradict scripture that states we need the mark to buy or sell!

These verses could not be referring to something purely spiritual as scripture references two physical locations (our right hand or forehead) stating the mark will be on one "OR" the other. If this mark was purely spiritual, it would indicate both places, or one--not one OR the other!

This is where it comes together. It is shocking how accurate the Bible is concerning the implantable RFID microchip. Here are notes from a man named Carl Sanders who worked with a team of engineers to help develop this RFID chip:

"Carl Sanders sat in seventeen New World Order meetings with heads-of-state officials such as Henry Kissinger and Bob Gates of the C.I.A. to discuss plans on how to bring about this one-world system. The government commissioned Carl Sanders to design a microchip for identifying and controlling the peoples of the world—a microchip that could be inserted under the skin with a hypodermic needle (a quick, convenient method that would be gradually accepted by society).

Carl Sanders, with a team of engineers behind him, with U.S. grant monies supplied by tax dollars, took on this project and designed a microchip that is powered by a lithium battery, rechargeable through the temperature changes in our skin. Without the knowledge of the Bible (Brother Sanders was not a Christian at the time), these engineers spent one-and-a-half-million dollars doing research on the best and most convenient place to have the microchip inserted.

Guess what? These researchers found that the forehead and the back of the hand (the two places the Bible says the mark will go) are not just the most convenient places, but are also the only viable places for rapid, consistent temperature changes in the skin to recharge the lithium battery. The microchip is approximately seven millimeters in length, .75 millimeters in diameter, about the size of a grain of rice. It is capable of storing pages upon pages of information about you. All your general history, work history, criminal record, health history, and financial data can be stored on this chip.

Brother Sanders believes that this microchip, which he regretfully helped design, is the “mark” spoken about in Revelation 13:16–18. The original Greek word for “mark” is “charagma,” which means a “scratch or etching.” It is also interesting to note that the number 666 is actually a word in the original Greek. The word is “chi xi stigma,” with the last part, “stigma,” also meaning “to stick or prick.” Carl believes this is referring to a hypodermic needle when they poke into the skin to inject the microchip."

Mr. Sanders asked a doctor what would happen if the lithium contained within the RFID microchip leaked into the body. The doctor replied by saying a terrible sore would appe (...)
