Rikke Andreassen, Marie Lunau and Sofia Baksh, in collaboration with Sara Swanson, have written an article on queer tattooing for the Journal of Lesbian Studies! ”This article examines queer tattooing as both a historical and a contemporary practice of resistance, belonging and community formation. Bringing together three archives – oral history interviews and portraits of queer elders, historical medical records documenting tattooed queer women engaged in sex work at the turn of the twentieth century and a dialogue with queer tattoo artist Sara Swanson – we consider what queer tattooing reveals across generations, bodies and spaces. Our interdisciplinary approach combines archival research, oral history, artistic practice and activist perspectives to trace the ways in which tattoos have functioned as bodily inscriptions of intimacy, queer identification and resistance.” Find the text as open source at Journal of Lesbian Studies!
