The rise of tattoos into the mainstream has been a defining aspect
of 21st century western culture. Tattoos and Popular Culture
showcases how tattoos have been catapulted from 'deviant' and
'alternative' subculture, into a popular culture, becoming a potent
signifier of 'difference' for the Millennial generation. From
tattooed film superheroes such as Harley Quinn, MTV's Just Tattoo
of Us, and the extensively tattooed and mediated bodies of
celebrities across social media, tattoos are now not only inscribed
into increasing numbers of Millennial and Gen Z bodies, but also
into mainstream culture. As the entrenched stigmas associated with
tattoos are eroded Barron asks, how do subcultural and mainstream
tattoo images and practices co-exist? Which cultural expressions
are at the forefront of modern tattoo culture?
