The GlobalPost's look at tattoo culture in South Korea today and a look back on the forefathers of American tattoo culture on The Selvedge Yard.
Will have a double tattoo news review for you Monday as I've been working through the proofs (all 500 pages) of my book on blackwork this week, but I desired to highlight three news stories that I particularly enjoyed:
[No web searches and hook-ups back in my day. I also walked miles without shoes in the snow to get tattooed.]
Jiyeon Lee's photos and story of underground tattooing in Seoul jogged my memory lots of my own first tattoos when the art was still unlawful in NYC (it was legalized in 1997). Lee paints a picture of studios with "dark tunnel-like entrance with graffiti covered walls" that are found only after the "proper" steps are taken, which are set out: "first you run a search on the net, then you hook up with a tattooist who will guide you to a nondescript space, and finally you sit down for the unlawful procedure."
In South Korea today, only those with a medical license, like Kwon Yong-hyun pictured above, can legally tattoo, but with the increasing popularity of tattooing -- in part thanks to tattooed soccer stars that played at Seoul's 2002 World Cup -- tattooists think that regulation of the art is in the near future.
The post is an amazing collection of stories & archival pics of the tattoo parlors & the sailors & sideshow stars that frequented them. My favourite picture is of a service woman getting tattooed in the 50s, surrounded by other female soldiers.
With tattoo culture budding in South Korea, I enjoyed the juxtaposition of The Selvedge Yard's look back on the evolution of American tattooing with a tribute to "Cap" Coleman & Paul Rodgers in their "forefathers of tattooing" post. Thanks to Jake for that link.
plenty of of the pics & other tattoo memorabilia were amassed by Paul Rodgers over the 60 years they tattooed; they had a stroke on that 60th tattoo anniversary & died six years later. In 1993, Chuck Eldridge, Ed Hardy, Alan Govenar & Henk Schiffmacher (Hanky Panky), created the Paul Rogers Tattoo Research middle to house the collection. That collection moved from Chuck's original Tattoo Archive home in San Francisco to where it is now in Winston Salem, North Carolina. Chuck said:
"If they can't discover a building here,we'll take the collection back to North Carolina. It's where Paul came from & would be the right thing to do. It would be like taking Paul home."
It's been a while since I did a major run down of the tattoo headlines, plus so to make it up to ya, i have monster review today -- one that begins with significant "milestone" tattoos plus ends above Khloe Kardashian's butt. I didn't say it was going to be a classy review but it will be meaty.
picture by Tom Wallace for The Star Tribune.
plus hell, Minnesota needs some positive tattoo news as one city, Watertown, has banned any new tattoo studio from opening up next year. Officials say, "We have nothing against tattoos" [followed by "some of my best mate are tattooed"?], plus that the ban is in place while they craft regulations for the industry. Currently, no professional tattoo studio exists in the city, so guess what usually happens in these cases: kitchen table scratchers plus dangerous tattoo parties fill the void. It's a mournful irony that rules meant to "protect the public" often finish up hurting people the most.
Let's start with the Minneapolis-St.Paul Star Tribune "permanent milestone" article, illustrated by the picture above plus other shots by Tom Wallace, including some silver haired foxes who look great in their tattoos, answering that oft-repeated utter foolishness, "What will you look like at 70?" Like that query, the article has its share of tattoo cliches as well but we'll let it slide as it positively looks at tattooing to mark moments in people's lives. I do know, we're all sick of the reality TV line that every tattoo has to have a narrative, but the actual reality is that lots of still get tattooed to commemorate a person or moment, plus the article reminds us art snobs of that.
Regulating the tattoo industry can be done without full-on bans. look at how Indiana tattooists are lobbying for stricter tattoo laws while their machines keep running. According to the Journal Gazette, somebody can buy a tattoo kit plus work underground, so professional tattooists are asking legislators to limit the sale of tattoo equipment in the state to licensed artists. they are also asking that positive requirements be met before a tattoo license is given. Those requirements, supported by the Alliance of Professional Tattooists, include the following: "a three-year apprenticeship, 1,200 hours of training plus 50 supervised procedures before granting a permit plus allowing an artist to work on the general public."
Yesterday, sister Panik gave us his own (special brand of) review of the Star of arizona tattoo convention in Austin, but they wasn't the one offering reportage of the event. Austin 360 gave a play-by-play (and a small lame sideshow), while TV stations KRQE & Fox Austin posted short videos online of the show. I dig these photographs & speedy videos because they offer a glance at the scene, which helps choose what will be on my convention schedule next year.
Got your tattoo headlines right here, from convention coverage to tattoo law to a study that says we're all a bunch of "deviants." So think about this the freak edition of the Tattoo News Review & enjoy the sideshow.
With thousands attending these conventions worldwide -- & the media chasing after us -- you'd think that the debate whether "tattoos have gone mainstream" was thoroughly squashed, but a new study says otherwise.
The Bangkok International Tattoo Convention also got some nice coverage. Reuters took pretty photographs from the show including the one above, & CNN has a few nice shots as well. Sky News joined in with a video from the floor.
arizona Tech University's "Body Art Team" [real name] has found "The more body art you've, the more likely you're to be involved in deviance," according to the Chicago Tribune. The swat Body Art Team surveyed 1,753 students at three colleges & reported that the heavily tattooed & pierced drank more, did drugs more, had sex more & cheated in class more. [They add, "For low-level body art, these children are not any different from someone else."]
NBC news in Dallas also reported on the study & gave this reasoning behind the results:
"Because tattoos & piercings are so common, the researchers wondered if individuals who saw body art as more of a subculture would turn to deviant behavior to show they weren't part of mainstream culture. After all, having tattoos isn't rebellious anymore. Research suggests one in three people have a tattoo somewhere on their body."
This is huge and it's implications may go beyond zoning restrictions and even affect cases related to employment discrimination, for example. I read the full decision and will give y'all the highlights but first some background to the case:
amazing news on the tattoo law front! The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled, in Johnny Anderson v. City of Hermosa Beach, that "tattooing is purely expressive activity fully protected by the First Amendment, and that a total ban on such activity is not a reasonable 'time, place, or manner' restriction."
Last May, in our First Amendment & Tattoos post, they first mentioned the Appellate Court agreeing to review the case of Johnny Andersen of Yer Cheat'n Heart Tattoo against Hermosa Beach, CA. Johnny desired to relocate to Hermosa Beach but was denied because zoning laws prohibited tattooing in the city. He sued in 2006 and lost because the lower court found that tattooing was a service and "'not sufficiently imbued with elements of communication" to be protected as speech.
Wrong! according to today's published decision by the Appellate Court, and they rip it apart.
So, I'll actually use my law license for some nice today and break it all down for you. I'm picking out some key elements that may help other tattoo artists facing similar restrictions on doing business and hopefully we'll see more wins as well.
The judge granted that request, and the media went crazy over tax payers footing the $125/day bill for a cosmetologist to clean-up the accused murderer. Read more in that post for the law surrounding indigent defendants and what is thought about a "fair trial" under US law.
a year ago, I wrote about using tattoos as proof in criminal trials, citing the case of Neo-Nazi John Ditullio who is accused of stabbing a teenager to death and wounding another. While in jail awaiting trial, Ditullio acquired a Nazi swastika among other hateful tattoos but then asked the court in his first trial for permission to cover them up so she won't be prejudiced before the jury. Even more controversial, she asked the court to pay for it because she couldn't.
Now Ditullio faces his second trial for murder, and again, a cosmetologist is being brought in to cover up the tattoos. Cue more media frenzy. Out of the lots of articles, I found yesterday's NY Times coverage of the trial most fascinating because they don't just discuss the law but look at the extensive process of concealing prominent facial and neck tattoos. Here's a number of that discussion:
It shall be illegal for any person to tattoo or offer to tattoo any person. As used herein to "tattoo" means to insert pigment under the surface of the skin of a human being, by pricking with a needle or otherwise, so as to produce a permanent indelible mark or figure visible on the skin. Provided, however, that the provisions hereof shan't apply to any act of a licensed practitioner of the healing arts performed in the work of his practice.
The best mate of the young Bromsgrove soldier, killed in Afghanistan, has had a tattoo of him put on his back.
Tattoo tribute to fallen soldier
Simon Broome grew up with 18-year-old Private Robert Laws, and went to school with him - as a tribute to he mate he decided to have an image of his mate tattooed on his back.
The funeral with full military honours was held at St John's Church, in his home town of Bromsgrove.
Pte Robert Laws, from 2nd Battalion The Mercian Regiment, died while taking part in a major offensive in Helmand province on 4 July.
"I got a tattoo to recall him – he’s always with me now. He's a legend – all his mates loved him for what he was, his cheeky miniscule grin and everything."
After the service Simon told BBC Hereford & Worcester why he had decided on this special tribute to his mate: "
bill did over post the photographs along with my narrative of the inked life, they also did some research around the details, such as the fact that tattooing didn’t become legal in NYC until 1997. of course i knew it was unlawful, you practically needed a code word to get in to the ink parlors back in the day, but i didn’t know when it was decriminalized.
i need to thank bill cohen for jogging a long editorial (with photographs by katie cronin) about my tats on his great tattoosday weblog. &, in honor of national poetry month, each tattoo feature is paired with a poem by the subject on billyblog. poetry & tattoos…who’da thunk?
ink wasn’t always unlawful in NYC, it was made so in the course of the psychedelic 60s, when all the new dope-shooters shared their needles in drowsy bursts of hippie love & tattoo parlors shared in the blame for the Great Hepatitis Epidemic of 1961.
i won’t go on and on about the government outlawing everything that might hurt you. motorcycling without a helmet, driving without a seatbelt, smoking a joint, getting a tattoo… more people die on operating tables than anywhere else, should we outlaw hospitals? of coursework that’s a dull statement, but it’s simply taking governmental logic to its illogical finish.
i’m glad to have bill’s post to discuss and “for-your-own-good” safety laws to rant about today because the thing that’s bothering me is SO large and SO dreadful that, yes, once again my head is about to explode. and i don’t reckon i can bear to write about it yet: upset, fucking disappointed in president obama, to go there right now.
Last sempet open-open facebook, and also sempet stat Seeing a friend who he said want tattoos. Hem, it was so inspiring for me to write an article. Let us check how the law to tattoo the body and the other woods in the Islamic religion. Scene 1. Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-Uthaymeen, tattoos are considered a big sin. Word of the Prophet Muhammad which states that God has cursed the giver and the requesting tattoos. [Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen, Manarul Fatawa Islam 3 / 829] [Copied from the book Fatawa thiflul Ath-Muslim, Indonesian edition of 150 Fatwa Regarding the Muslim Child, author, Yahya ibn Sa'eed Alu Syalwan, Translator Asim, Griya Science Publishers] [Copied from the book al-Fataawa ash-Syar'iyyah Fi Al-Masa'il Ashriyyah Min Fataawa al-Ulama Al-Balad Al-Haram, Indonesian Edition Latest Fatwa-Fatwa, Khalid Al-Juraisiy Compiler, Translator Amir Hamzah, Darul Publisher Haq] Scene 2. One time, there is a letter posted to forums that discuss this issue. Here goes ... "I tattooed ya mas hehe but the core of the prohibition of tattooing is ولأضلنهم ولأمنينهم ولآمرنهم فليبتكن آذان الأنعام ولآمرنهم فليغيرن خلق الله ومن يتخذ الشيطان وليا من دون الله فقد خسر خسرانا مبينا "And I'm really going to mislead them, and will generate an empty delusion on them and will order them (cut off the ears of cattle), then they really cut it, and I will order them (to change God's creation), then they actually change it. Any person who makes the devil became patron instead of Allah, then surely he suffered a real loss. "(An-Nisa ': 119) intiniya change his divine creation mas ya ... so means the person wearing stirrup continue the straightening of hair, kidney transplants are also forbidden donk ... hmmm wah ribet jg yah hehe no offence I was just really far i know my Muslim religion Islam is a religion that does not bother it aja hehe thx " And answered: "Islam is religion that allows all things, but not so easy and the easy-gampangin, all must match the Shari'a and the understanding that straight. May Allah give us the best in the world and the hereafter, Amin ... " I think the answer above UDH adequately represent the meaning of understanding. Islam is religion based upon beliefs, as well as studying the violin, if we understand how to play the violin, then the strains of tone that comes out will be good rhythm, but if we do not understand how to play, when to play it then his voice would be chaotic, as well as an understanding of Islam. When you only know the word of Islam but do not know what exactly what is "ISLAM", hence its output will also be messed up, tattoos are allowed is, adultery is permissible, can be of any direction is, or indulgence in lust considered legitimate aja. um ... Scene 3. author Al-Ustadz Abu Abdillah Muhammad Al-Makassari Tattoo on any part of the body of law is forbidden. Based on these arguments the word of Allaah: ولأضلنهم ولأمنينهم ولآمرنهم فليبتكن آذان الأنعام ولآمرنهم فليغيرن خلق الله ومن يتخذ الشيطان وليا من دون الله فقد خسر خسرانا مبينا "And I'm really going to mislead them and will generate an empty delusion on them and will order them and they really cut and I will order them and then they actually change it. Any person who makes the devil a real mk protectors other than Allah he suffered a real loss. " Meanings change the creation of Allaah according to a tabi'in Al-Hasan Al-Basri rahimahullahu adl with tattoo. In the hadith of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam: عن عبد الله قال: لعن الله الواشمات والمستوشمات والمتنمصات والمتفلجات للحسن المغيرات خلق الله تعالى, مالي لا ألعن من لعن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو في كتاب الله: From Abdullah radi 'anhu, he said: "Allaah has cursed women who tattooed and who have tattooed revocatory / shaved hair and teeth who hone to beautify. The women who change the creation of Allaah. " Abdullah radi 'anhu said: "Why am I cursed ill people who cursed the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam while it also is Dlm Qur'aan: 'And what the Apostle brought to you mk accept it.'." عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: لعن الله الواصلة والمستوصلة والواشمة والمستوشمة From Abu Hurayrah from the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam he said: "Allaah has cursed women who connects hair and who ask to be connected women who tattooed and tattooed asked." Here is the fatwa of the ulema Dlm this problem: Fatwa Al-Lajnah Ad-Da `Imah Question: My mother says that during tersebarluas science of ignorance before he made a line in the lower jaw. Not the perfect tattoo it will be but he made a juncture not know whether it is haram or halal. But now he heard that a tattooed woman who was cursed. Give us a fatwa may Allaah membalasi you all with kindness. Answer: All praise belongs to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala is the one god his blessings and greetings to the Messenger of Allah may shed alaihi wa sallam and his companions family. Wa ba'du. Tattooing was banned in parts of the body of any good tattoo is perfect or not. What must be done by your mother adl remove the tattoo if no cause harm and repent and ask forgiveness from what has happened in the past. (The committee remains for discussion Ilmiyah and Fatwa Saudi Arabia. The undersigned: Chairman: Abdul 'Aziz bin Abdullah bin Baz. Representative: Abdurrazzaq Afifi. Members: Abdullah Ghudayyan) Fatwa Ash-Shaykh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah bin Baz rahimahullahu He said in a letter to the requesting one of the fatwa: "I inform you that he has cursed women who connects hair and who ask to be connected women who tattooed and ask tattooed. When done by a Muslim when he was not aware the law of unlawful or tattooed mk during his childhood he had to eliminate after learning keharamannya. But if there is trouble or harm Dlm eliminate enough for to repent and beg forgiveness. And defiantly why that still exist from the tattoos on his body. "(The fatwa was issued from his office with the number 2 / 218 on 26/1/1409 H) Fatwa ash-Shaykh Salih Al-Fauzan Question: What is the law of tattooed face and two hands? This adl customs imaginable in our society. And what must be done on someone who made it during her little tattoo? Answer: "Tattoos adl illegitimate and is one of the major sins krn Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam cursed Al-Wasyimah and Al-Mustausyimah. All cursed through oral Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. Thus tattooing was forbidden in Islam and is one of the major sins. It also involves changing the creation of Allaah who has been promised by the devil where he would instruct the person who answered the call from among the sons of Adam, as the word of Allaah: فليغيرن خلق الله "And I would have ordered them to change God's creation." And the tattoo off-adl case may be muted and non-compulsory prohibited. Also be warned of, and explained that it was one of the major sins adl. And the person who made the tattoo if it with will and with mk voluntary and compulsory for him it is sin to repent to Allaah and to remove the tattoo if able. But when it is made without doing itself and without ridhanya as if carried out on childhood as yet understand mk sin upon which to do it. However, if possible to be eliminated, he must eliminate them. But if the unthinkable mk udzur he can sort this juncture. " Fatwa Ash-Shaykh Abdul-Muhsin Al-'Abbad He said: "Tattoos are haram and increasing prohibition when someone draw something haram like animals. Whoever did then know the law about to beristighfar to Allaah. And if you can eliminate without causing harm mk semesti was eliminated. " (Sunan Abi Dawud Book Lessons Az-zina wal mustausyimah wasyimah La'nul Chapter 8 / 572) The opinion of Al-Imam An-Nawawi Rahimahullahu He said: "If it might be eliminated with treatment mk must be eliminated. If non-allowed except with wounding in which with were worried about risk losing limbs or loss of limb benefit from it or something bad happens to a member of a distinguished body that looks mk permissive eliminate them. And if he repent innocent. But if he is ill are worried about something similar earlier or mk he should remove it. And he considered adulterous with delay. Same thing is all well in the event laki2 and women. " Opinion Ibn Hajar Rahimahullahu Ibn Hajar said: "Creating a tattoo is haram based Dlm anathema mk hadith in this chapter shall eliminate if possible, even with hurt. Unless the fear of perishing something or lose the benefit of member agencies and let mk be enough to abort with repent for sin. And in the event are the same between laki2 and women.

The GlobalPost's look at tattoo culture in South Korea today and a look back on the forefathers of American tattoo culture on The Selvedge Yard.
The post is an amazing collection of stories & archival pics of the tattoo parlors & the sailors & sideshow stars that frequented them. My favourite picture is of a service woman getting tattooed in the 50s, surrounded by other female soldiers.
