Bodies of Subversion: A Secret History of Women and Tattoo

This is a great book on the secret history of women in tattooing. Over 180 pages of women in their tattooed finest. Bodies of Subversion is the first history of women's tattoo art, providing a fascinating excursion to a subculture that dates back into the nineteenth-century and includes many never-before-seen photos of tattooed women from the last century. Author Margot Mifflin notes that women's interest in tattoos surged in the suffragist 20s and the feminist 70s.
