Tattoo and Body Piercing Complications Crime, Deviance, and Social Control Youth Culture and Social Dynamics

Abstract

The following article examines the processes tattoo collectors undergo to become collectors.I examine howtattoo collectors learn that they want to become collectors, are recruited into the social world of tattoo collectors by other collectors and artists, and learn howto interpret their collecting as appropriate for themselves. This ethnographic study is framed in Matza's (1969) theory of the etiology of deviance and Schutz's (1962, 1967) phenomenology.
