Description

Explore the dark subculture of 1950s tattoos in this social history by Routledge. This book follows the journey of an erudite English professor and friend of Gertrude Stein who abandoned his academic career to work as a tattoo artist in a Chicago arcade on State Street. During the years 1950-1965, tattoos were seen as the mark of a lowlife. This account provides a unique look at the people behind the ink, from youthful sailors using tattoos as a rite of manhood to executives who had to hide their marks. The author also served as a researcher for Alfred Kinsey, adding a unique layer to this study of gangs, sailors, and street-corner punks. It is a fascinating look at a time when body art sat on the edge of society.
