representated by musical styles where they feel they belong, they use the
tattoo as part of their language: those marks which survive the pass of the
time, which power resides both in the intimate evocation which exclude all
=94others=94, as in the show off of their designs.

is the beginning of the circulation of groups of young people with dark
clothes and colorful accesories, pale faces and expressions showing they
were nightowls and the use of alcohol, etc. They went to specific bars,
pubs in special hours; displacements marking the limits between territories
which fragility could be interpretated as frustration or as capacity of
constructing microclimates, a kind of defense.

Tattoomakers and tattoed were together during a month in a museum. The
museum was a legitimating institution, constructing the collective memory,
