The Body Electric: Tattoo Part VII--Bats!

Social Commentary post by Page McBee, October 26, 2009 - 5:29am; tagged feminism, Inked Magazine, Tattoos.

P5180034.jpg In yet another entry in my one-person attempt to override the portrayal of women/queers/everyone else in dumb tattoo magazines like "Inked," I present Ana Maria Ventura, a totally awesome San Francisco high school teacher who has many incredible tattoos.

The Body Electric: Tattoo Magazines and the Big Dumb

Art and Design post by Page McBee, September 21, 2009 - 4:18am; tagged Inked, Tattoos, The Body Electric.

That's my arm. I thought it only fair, if discussing the representation of tattoos, to be up front about my own. This one, taken directly from a life science textbook, falls in line with most of the work I've had done: science-y and metaphorical: half-directive, half-reminder.
