Tattooed women's practices of resistance and conformity are constituted within social, cultural, and historical contexts that produce normative values around “good” and “bad” tattoos. Tattoos enable the performance of multiple femininities, constructing the female body in a way that is personal and meaningful to that individual and opening an agentic space in which they can do so. The vast majority of research that is available on tattoos concerns mostly men or, at least, does not fully understand the implications of specific gendered discourses that regulate the (feminine) body. In this paper, we argue that meaning-making for women's tattoos serves to function as legitimating, producing tattooed feminine bodies as more acceptable. We argue for a closer examination of the regulatory discourses that feed into the choices that women make in relation to their tattooed bodies.

女性纹身身体中的意义创造

在社会，文化和历史背景下，被纹身的女性抵抗和顺从的做法构成了围绕“好”和“坏”纹身而产生的规范价值。纹身可以表现出多种女性特质，以对每个人而言具有个性和意义的方式构造女性身体，并为她们创造了一个可以代理的空间。纹身研究的绝大多数研究都与男性有关，或者至少没有完全理解调节（女性）身体的特定性别话语的含义。在本文中，我们认为女性纹身的意义制造具有合法性，使纹身女性化的身体更容易被接受。
