Grief And Getting Inked
Memorial tattoos can be such a unique and personal way to remember someone special who is no longer with us. A tattoo can help keep memories alive long after someone has gone. In this episode, Dr John Troyer shares his knowledge on the history of the memorial tattoo, his advice to anyone thinking about getting one, and we discuss the language and icons of the memorial tattoo. Dr Troyer is director of the Centre for Death and Society, an RCUK Research Fellow, and Lecturer in the Department of Social and Policy Sciences at the University of Bath. John's book, The Technologies of the Human Corpse is available online across many book retailers through https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/technologies-human-corpse
