It's time to chat about tattooing (a thread).

There is a long post on my alt account, and it begins "The first tattoo I ever saw done was an initiation tattoo for a gang".

What do you think when you read that? How does that shift your perception of me as an artist?

Sharing that my other book came despite the fact I've posted and been on here entirely too much lately

I hope between family festivities I get to study this weekend, but my books are cleared for all of next week regardless. I'm so excited to have received these this week.

Might be time for an #introduction. I'm a historian interested in #HistMed and currently in the midst of my PhD on regulation, sanctioning and utilization of #Tattoos and tattooing in Western and Eastern Germany.
Two years ago I got diagnosed with #MultipleSclerosis so I'm writing about being chronically ill in academia (and in general) as well.
