All About Tattoos, Part 1: Trends, Fashion, Violence and the Tramp Stamp
This week is Part 1 of my two-part series on tattoos in Berlin! Tattoos are an “anthropological constant” according to German tattoo scholar Ole Wittman: from the body art of prehistoric humanity all the way to the famous tramp stamp. Seeing so many tattoo artists in Berlin made me want to investigate why it thrives here, and this led me to the fascinating history of body art.
I discuss Issey Miyake’s and Jean-Paul Gaultier’s tattoos on the runway, how studying prison tattoos can help us understand the social and cultural importance of the tattoo, and the forced tattooing of prisoners in concentration camps.
Digressions include an (admittedly half-hearted) uplifting of girlies out there with a Harry Potter tattoo, a rumination on the bimbo aesthetic, and my favorite song from Lana Del Rey’s new album (changes daily tbh)
