Hey Femme18! It's Threedeezeens from Feminist Art and Subculture. Here are some suggestions to help improve the tattoo wiki page:

To add:

-a paragraph/section on the various associations tattoos have depending on their location on the body, relationship to the body who owns it, content/style of the tattoo itself

- The "social skin" that engages the public, Tattoos are likened to keeping a journal/diary/blog, women are expected to adhere to the beauty ideal & tattoos, especially big ones defy that, unlike plastic surgery which is less visible, tattoos deny the invisibility of women as they age (I want to be covered” Heavily tattooed women challenge the dominant beauty culture)

-Janis Joplin’s wrist tattoo was one of the 1st publicly visible tattoos on a woman. Women mostly started out with small “feminine” tattoos. They had to be “small, cute, hidden”. Some women add tattoos to their bodies to enhance their confidence (I want to be covered” Heavily tattooed women challenge the dominant beauty culture)

Nice work, Joan! There are a few sentences that I think need to be restructured, along with some grammatical errors. Here is how I might restructure:

American women were not encouraged to wear pants, as it was seen as strictly masculine. Because of this, outsiders saw Pachucas as rebellious, tacky, and un-American. This created a larger gap between Mexican-Americans and the rest of the community. However, this was not the intention of the Pachuco/Pachuca style. Pachucas strove to prove that their community fits in to American culture and that they were not of lesser value socially and economically. In order to portray this, they created their suits with luxurious and expensive fabrics. Pachucas made their own clothes and created a space for self expression through fashion.Rebeccaf1995 (talk) 15:57, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
