Chapter 10 felt like was about the whole idea of tattoos and criminals and the argument of nature vs nurture. Chapter 11 was about penal tattoos mostly, but also the way tattoos represented that you were part of the \u201cother\u201d This and the codification of tattoos have been continuous themes.\u00a0In Chapter 12, Omai was mentioned once again in regards to displaying exotic people with tattoos, as were the savage people. Those who practiced cannibalism were the most savage. Tattoos are used as something that separates the savage and the civilized. But when it came to being exotic, people saw profit in it and would tattooing themselves to sell their stories. Chaper 13 was more about american tattoo history and once again how non-western culture are perceived cultures that practiced tattooing. The growth of the tattooing industry during this time was because more people like soldiers were getting. But despite being civilized bc they were soldiers with tattoos this meant they were still regarded as savage.\u00a0I thought the idea of the circus and carnival industry was the most interesting where we see another continuing theme – tattooed bodies are exotic and put on display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All the chapters had similar themes and we can see that the West had a very similar idea of how they perceived those who were tattooed.\u00a0If they were of another culture, Non-Westen, they were seen as savages, uncivilized, and something of interest, to be shown off, and exoticized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
