ARE THERE REFERENCES ABOUT TATTOOS I COULD LOOK UP?

When I first started looking around for references about tattoos, all I
found were scholarly journal articles about how juvenile delinquents and
prisoners had tattoos, or how tattoos were an indicator for psychosis. I
*knew* there had to be more stuff out there. However, a quick look
through the Lexis/Nexis online (fee-based) database revealed *thousands*
of RECENT citations on bodyart. When a mainstream comic strip like
"Cathy" mentions a navel ring, you are apt to get a lot of forgettable
articles.

I eventually plan to pare this list down to a quality annotated
bibliography. I also plan to include in this bibliography a listing of
sources that you could use for ideas on various designs.
