  Since the 1980s, tattooing has emerged anew in the United States as a widely appealing cultural, artistic, and social form. This title explains how elite tattooists, magazine editors, and leaders of tattoo organizations have downplayed the working-class roots of tattooing in order to make it more palatable for middle-class consumption.
