Exploring tattoo as a narrative concept, this book highlights it in context of resistance and marginality, and draws attention to the relationship between the visual and the narrative components of its culture. It portrays its use, effects, and narratives on Holocaust victims, slaves and colonized peoples, gangs and inmates and other societies.
