Credo is an academic alternative to Wikipedia. It includes a topic page for tattoo and entries from several encyclopedias, dictionaries, and other reference sources.
The databases featured in this box are particularly useful for this class. You can learn more about databases on the Research Hub.
Think about keywords related to tattooing in general, or a specific style or aspect, to start your search in the library's catalog, WorldCat@SU. When you find a good book, try the subject links to lead to more resources on the topic.
Try some of these subject headings in WorldCat:
tattooing history | body art | tattoo artists | body image in women | body marking philosophy | tattooing social aspects | tattooing psychological aspects | Yakuza | tribal tattoos
Access articles via the Databases A-Z page. If off campus, you'll need to log in with your SUEID.
