| Abstract: |
This project is an ethnographic investigation of a select group of facially tattooed individuals in the urban setting of Minneapolis. Each of the individuals introduced in this project display a common form of shocking stylistic behavior. These people decorate the most public parts of their body in a painful way, so as to permanently display difference. Such display of difference is, however, paradoxical. While such behavior is a 'loud' display of the hyper-individuality of the bearer, it is also a display of conformity to a larger 'tribe' to which these individuals belong. The thesis is an ethnography of a group of people in the contemporary United States, a visual representation of those individuals, and a presentation of photographs with which the reader/viewer can see the intensity with which these people are 'speaking' through their visual means of communication. |
