Consulting, Guidance and Research
I am here to provide an insight into my research, my thoughts and opinions on matters, regarding embodied identity, culture and self-realization. But more than anything, my expertise lies in tattoos; I hope to help the world accept tattoos, to help people think before they ink and to, through everything I do, help people accept difference as a good thing.
Get to know the man behind this website, the tattoo sociologist himself and why he does what he does.
Celebrities get away with a lot more than the rest of us when it comes to tattoos, yet they also help create more acceptance.
What is the problem with regretting a tattoo? That is a question that I along with other people in the tattoo community, and I would imagine other researchers looking at tattoos, have (hopefully), asked themselves. It is something which I have given much thought lately, as well as previously in my research, and I would… Continue reading Tattoos and Regret Continued:
A Convention Like Love Letter to the Tattoo Community: This year I finally got to attend an event that I have been longing to attend, ever since I studied in England back in the early 10’s. I got to attend the awesome Brighton Tattoo Convention 2019. It was the 12th time this annual tattoo event… Continue reading The Brighton Tattoo Convention 2019
Tattoo Regret; When You Lose the Connection to Your Ink: Tattoo regret is at the same time quite a lot simpler and still a fair bit more complicated, than most people would think. At least what I have found through my own research on the topic (these last 8-9 years) within sociology (social sciences in… Continue reading Tattoo Regret; The Disconnect
Realizing; I May Never Become a Professor: I recently found out after many years focusing on my academics more than anything, even while working in the tattoo community. That my PhD dream may (probably wont) never happen. It is mainly because of bureaucratic rules, certainly not a lack of sociological theories to work on. Of… Continue reading Realizing Certain Things:
On this page, I would like to offer my expertise to people, for a modest fee. A way to help you get the tattoo of your dreams.
Also, with my seminars and lectures, I aim to help other people, understand tattoo culture and tattooed people better. As well as helping anyone interested learn more about tattoos.
Mads Wedel Kristensen leverede et spændende, indholdsrigt og relevant oplæg for gymnasiets elever. Det var tydeligt at mærke, at eleverne var interesserede i Mads’ viden indenfor området {tatoveringer}, og på baggrund af Mads’ indsigt, blev klogere på dem selv i forhold til tatoverings-kulturen i Danmark. Mads’ oplæg kan varmt anbefales til andre gymnasier og skoler med elever i samme aldersgruppe.
Tattoo Logia helped me define and develop my tattoo idea. I had spent a long time thinking over motives, but I had never arrived at anything satisfactory on my own. I have a great love for Finland, Finnish music and everything else Finnish, including the band Nightwish, so I had to combine it all into an Idea/motive. It became a map of Finland (an outline) with a conch within it. I am very satisfied and now I just look forward to having it permanently inked on my arm.
