The Rise of Artistic Uncanny: Tattoos
Abstract
“Pictorial bodies,” which until recently were the symbol of contradictory images and marginalized groups, are now far from this context. The uncanny image that began to shine in the 1980s began to rise in global media such as cinema, music, and television. Then it spread to daily life. This evolution of the image of uncanny has of course also been experienced in tattooed bodies. These tattooed bodies, which were previously contrary and were hesitant to communicate with people have become very demanding and people who want to be friends, and even people who stay away from tattoos have been tattooed. In addition to the aforementioned situations, even with the tattooed image, even the tattoo making process is anesthetized; the number of those who only want tattoos for tattoos is undeniably increasing. They are often praised for the pain and the sound of the tattoo machine; the whole process is narrated and shared with praise. At this point, the idea stage, design and production process, and finally the image that the tattoo imposes on the body have become a whole narrative.
