Description

Step into the dark subculture of 1950s tattoos with this fascinating social history. This book follows the unique journey of an erudite English professor who abandoned his academic career to work as a tattoo artist in a squalid Chicago arcade on State Street. As a friend to literary giants like Gertrude Stein and Thomas Mann, his transition from academia to the world of ink provides a rare perspective on a period when tattoos were seen as the mark of the lowlife. Through his eyes, you witness a time when tattoos served as a rite of manhood for youthful sailors and a secret identity for executives who had to hide their ink. This narrative also connects his work to his role as a researcher for Alfred Kinsey. Whether you are interested in the history of body art or the social shifts of the 1950s and 1960s, this book offers a deep look at the people and the culture that defined an era of street-corner punks, sailors, and gangs.
