John Burnett writes great mystery novels whose detective is a Bangkok policeman. I learned a lot about Thai culture from them. One, Bangkok Tattoo, is about this very topic. It’s a good read but not for the squeamish.

A bit macabre. Evokes memories of Ilse Koch and her “collection”.

Creepy, really creepy

Even creepier is the fact that is wife who is also a tattoo artist is planning to do the same when she dies and then the "art work" will be hung in the tattoo shop they own and she talks about her grandkids then being able to come and see their grandparents tattoos!

As if a good, professional photographer couldn't adequately capture this.

 

I hope that if she does leave behind the "artwork" for the grandkids there are also sufficient funds for the years of counseling they may need.

Can we go back to the tradition of Victorian hair jewelry instead?

A guy my dad knew in the Navy during WWII had a tattoo surgically removed and kept the skin. He used to regularly rub salt on it to preserve it. It really creeped out my dad.

Ilse Koch (probably not related to the American Koch brothers) used to personally select inmates at Buchenwald with interesting tattoos for slaughter, skinning and tanning. Later tried and convicted for war crimes.

 

To the best of my recollection, this was purely an artistic endeavour and entirely separate from the folks who tanned skins for lamp shades and book binding.

 

The guys rendering corpses to make soap were just assisting in the war effort. Waste not, want no.

DEAR ABBY: I raised my children to be respectful, responsible adults who are career- and family-oriented. Both are college graduates, married and successful.

 

My eldest daughter recently announced that she has been “going through something” and surprised us with a tattoo on her shoulder sporting her children’s names on a colorful, rather large background. I was shocked because she works at a large banking firm and was recently promoted as a senior financial investor. I’m now afraid it will impede her career advancement, and also concerned it will encourage her two young daughters to get tattoos.

 

I have never encouraged my children to do something like this. In fact, I did the opposite. I did not comment about hers. She has known how her dad and I have felt about this since she was a young child.

 

Am I overreacting? What does a mother say about something so permanent? I no longer feel I know this person I thought was “conservative.” — DISAPPOINTED IN NORTH CAROLINA

 

DEAR DISAPPOINTED: FUCK Yes, you are overreacting. This is not a referendum on your parenting or your daughter’s character. In a situation like this, a mother should ask her daughter what “things” she has been going through, and what that tattoo means to her. The mother should also recognize that her daughter is an adult now, and her choice to apply body art is just that — a choice. Then she should listen carefully to what her daughter has to say, so that, if necessary, she can be supportive. No wonder your daughter doesn't open up to you about what she's going through. Judgmental bitch!

 

P.S. Does she go to work topless? Otherwise, how would her firm find out about the tattoo?
