Primitive Whiteness in the (Queer) Tattoo Shop
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 September 2023
Abstract
Primitive whiteness refers to the atavistic and colonial violence of the appropriation of tattooing in the United States. The radical deviance of the tattooist and their canvas, read through queer forms of pathologized identities, illuminates what happens when this primitive whiteness is indeed queer.
