1. The reader interested in the literature on tattoo and tattoing could profitably consult such books as Sanders, C., Customizing the Body: The Art and Culture of Tattooing (Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 1989)Google Scholar and particularly its thorough bibliography. For those intrigued with the visual and artistic experience of the tattoo, B. Attie, N. Monroe & M. Wellner's videotape (the ideal medium) Skin and Ink: Artists and Collectors would be of interest; failing this, its review by J. Herman in 105:415 J. of American Folklore 83 would provide a fresh perspective.
