Response to week 5 question
I have gatheres 2 articles from the academic search premier and found a book from academic search premier that has a two page article about tattoos and university students. The book is called Psychological Report from 2006, which I found from the card cat in the library. The 2 pages covered in this book go over why students in college recieve tattoos from a psychological perspective. One article is called "An Ironic Fad: The commodification and consumption of tattoos", it goes into detail about America and the American people who have become a "tattooed nation". The last article I have is also about college students and tattoos, it is a survey someone has taken and shows correlation with their social environment. I still want to find information about the artist's perspective of the culture of tattooing.

I agree with finding out about what the artist feel about tattooing. I Have disadvantage because I haven't had any tattoos. I know there were a lot of tattoo books in the library that might be another good thing that will help you.
It's great that you have found a lot of sources that relate to your topic. I am suprised on how many books there are in the library about body modification. Have you done any observations or interviews? I have gathered a lot information from actually talking with the people in my subculture. Do you have any tattoos or are you a total outsider on the subject?
Sounds like you found a good amount of written material. I think doing more interviews would help also.
