Inking Immortality: Exploring the Relations Between (Tattooed) Bodies, Time, and the Permanence/Change Dialectic
We explore the relations between bodies and time within the context of tattooing. Our informants’ bodies were experienced as out of control, or used to negotiate control over the permanence/change dialectic by crafting symbolic legacies for the self/others. We contribute embodied understandings of time, and insights into (im)permanence and consumption.
