Tattoos juxtapose the fantastic
and the carnivalesque. The visual texts and liminality of tattooed bodies mystify readers with “the possible and the impossible” and “leave the reader [...] with no satisfying explanation
of the strange” images they present (Cornwell). They offer a “carnivalized writing” that turns the
world on its head, often ridiculing societal power and emphasizing “subversive and anti-authoritarian of carnival”
while embodying both death and rebirth by destroying purity for the creation of a work of art (Dentith).
