Talk:Cover-up tattoo

Untitled

Cover-ups isn't just about covering old tattoos but also scars, blemishes and other unwanted features on the body. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.224.42.237 (talk) 12:59, 5 October 2015 (UTC) <-- forgot to log in Chosig (talk) 13:02, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Veterans with covered scars

I wanted to add that some veterans with war scars choose to get tattoos to conceal their scars and as part of their psychological healing process, but so far I've only found two decent sources, and they're about individuals rather than a pattern: "Iraqi troops seek tattoos to cover their scars of war" and Warriors, Tattoos, and the Stories They Tell (page 30).

I'm also coming up empty. Another demographic that would be nice to mention, is transmasculine people getting top surgery. We mention mastectomies but the sources are all about cancer-related ones. However, of the sources I've been able to find, all scholarly discussion of transmasculine top surgery cover-ups is either about reconstructive tattoos (which this article semi-artificially excludes in scope to avoid duplicating Medical tattoo) or is ambiguous. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe) 18:11, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

GAN?

@Dreamyshade: I'm thinking this is about ready for WP:GAN. 50 refs, including scholarly ones in multiple disciplines; good prose and flow; broad coverage; and, dare I say, very well illustrated. Do you have any outstanding concerns, or anything else you'd like to add? And would you like to be a co-nominator? It's been a pleasure working with you either way (if a bit asynchronously), and I'm happy to handle it on my own, so entirely up to you. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe) 19:25, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for asking, please go ahead! You've done great work on it. I don't have a lot of wiki-capacity right now so I won't co-nominate, but I look forward to seeing the results. Dreamyshade (talk) 01:15, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
