The people, bodies, and money that make tattooing what it is blend together and form a heady cocktail, something described by Matt, the owner of Oakland's Premium Tattoo, as "Blood and Lightning." Faced with the client's anticipation of pain and excitement, the tattooer must carefully perform calm authority to obscure a world of preparation and vigilance. "Blood and Lightning, my dude," the mysterious and intoxicating effect of tattooing done right. Dustin Kiskaddon draws on his own apprenticeship with Matt and takes us behind the scenes to the complex world of professional tattooers. We join people who must routinely manage a messy and carnal type of work. Blood and Lightning brings us through the tattoo shop, where the smell of sterilizing agents, the hum of machines, and the sound of music spill out onto the back patio. It is here that Matt, along with his comrades, review the day's wins, bemoan its losses, and prepare for the future. After tattooing more than five hundred people, Kiskaddon is able to freshly articulate the physical, mental, emotional, and moral life of tattooers. His captivating account explores the challenges they face on the job, including the crushing fear of making mistakes on someone else's body, the role of masculinity in evolving tattoo worlds, appropriate and inappropriate intimacy, and the task of navigating conversations about color and race. Ultimately, the stories in this book teach us about the roles our bodies play in the social world. Both medium and object of art, our bodies are purveyors of sociocultural significance, sites of capitalist negotiations, and vivid encapsulations of the human condition. Kiskaddon guides us through a strangely familiar world, inviting each of us to become a tattooer along the way"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Tattoo artists $z Oakland. $z Oakland. 650 0 $a Tattooing $x Social aspects $z Oakland. $z Oakland. 650 6 $a Tatoueurs $z Oakland. $z Oakland. 650 6 $a Tatouage $x Aspect social $z Oakland. $z Oakland. 650 7 $a Tattoo artists $2 fast 650 7 $a Tattooing $x Social aspects $2 fast 651 7 $a California $z Oakland $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Kiskaddon, Dustin. $t Blood and lightning $d Stanford, California : Stanford University Press, 2024 $z 9781503637412 $w (DLC) 2023017189 941 $a 2 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240529010317.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20240405024417.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A51C9F1CF31211EEA2A0228A4CECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
