I first started thinking about tattoos after our “what is your story” in-class free writing assignment. The first thing I thought of was my Snapchat story at the time- a picture of a tattoo I had gotten the previous day.The tattoo reads “Go placidly” followed by a quarter rest symbol. The words are borrowed from the first line of the poem “Desiderata” by Max Ehrmann: Go placidly amidst the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in silence. I first encountered this poem when I moved in with my housemates into an off-campus house in New Brunswick. It was painted on a wall in a bedroom that the luck of a [lost] coin toss would grant me. Walking up and down Easton Avenue multiple times a day, I bore witness to the city’s rapidly developing commercial economy and the university’s Rutgers 250 memorabilia. I felt a tension between the vision of the future promoted by local giants like Johnson&Johnson, Robert Wood Johnson and the tradition and historical heritage of the campus. At the same time, my background in public health drew my attention to those who have been marginalized in this process. I began meditating on themes of permanence and impermanence as I saw the landscape changing around me. I felt the tension between the past and future more acutely when I found out that the street we live on is a target for further commercial development. I began to wonder about the memories that we made in that house- and during my time living in that house- after the physical structure is leveled. Tattoos, for me, represent stories we’ve lived or one day hope to. These are stories of our interactions with the world around us at a particular moment in time- a moment that, as with Easton Ave, is likely to be lost in the (re)construction that the future demands. I found that, unlike the built environment, the modified body isn’t forced to juggle the past and present in an awkward dance of temporal linearity but rather can embrace these aspects of selfhood. Rather than interviewing my tattooed friends, I wanted to engage them in a discussion about their relationships with their tattoos. Although it was interesting to hear about the stories behind their tattoos, I wanted to honor a degree of privacy regarding these intensely personal stories. In addition, I felt that most people in the audience already understand that tattoos bear a certain significance and history to the body it occupies. Discussing tattoos more broadly, as such, allowed the discussion to emphasize more universal themes that hopefully resonated with the audience more than stories of specific tattoos would. I used Snapchat filters to capture the impermanent nature of the built environment as it is contrasted with the unapologetic indelibility of tattoos. Perhaps the great irony of my work is that I decided not to show any of the tattoos despite, or perhaps because of, their glorious permanence.

What I took from the experience was more about how the context of an image affects how we view it. For instance, I read the artist biography for David Wojnarowicz before viewing Print for ACT UP. I learned that many of his works respond to the AIDS panic in the early days of the epidemic and that he was profoundly affected by the death of several of his friends to the disease. The biography also discussed his use of the pulsing target symbol as a recurring motif in many of his pieces. The top diptych features a reappropriated image of one man saving a drowning man with Wojnarowicz’s personal writing superimposed on the black and white image. The bottom panel had a silhouette of the US with a red pulsing target imposed on the white of the landmass. Imposed on this profile was a snapshot of figures from the New York Stock Exchange in a dark but glowing blue. I experienced these two panels almost viscerally, as his writing in the top panel seemed to be echoed by the numbers in the bottom panel. While his words leveled a blatant attack at the politicians who suggested killing drug addicts and “fags” to stymie the spread of the disease, the NYSE figures seemed to justify his outrage because they represented the clinical detachment of the larger economic/political establishment. I began thinking about how my experience of the work might have been different if I hadn’t read his biography beforehand. In all likelihood, I would not have realized that the top panel- with the image of the drowning man- was taken from a manual with illustrations about saving a drowning individual. Additionally, I might not have recognized the frenzied blue figures as taken from the NYSE. Both of these pieces were borrowed from public writings that purported to provide helpful information to the public. Yet both were repurposed by Wojnarowicz in order to elicit an entirely different feeling- something closer to a panic. My documentary is about tattoos. I was inspired by the question (asked to us earlier in class) about what story we want to tell. My most recent tattoo, the first line of my favorite poem, was the starting point for my larger piece about my own tattoos and what tattoos mean in general. When I think about how my tattoo is an artistic representation of an original work by Max Ehrmann, I am reminded of how Wojnarowicz reappropriated original works and gave them new meaning in his Print for ACT UP. In the same way that his piece can be interpreted in different ways depending on whether the viewer is aware of the social and political context in which it was made, I feel that my tattoo can have different meanings depending on whether one recognizes it as the first line of Desiderata or not.
Even though I myself know that the words on my wrist are taken from Desiderata, I find that my tattoo has increasingly many identities that layer on top of one another. “Go placidly” originally represented a desire to move in peace through the universe and listen to the environment around me. But I’m finding that it speaks to me when I’m angry and calms me down like nothing else will. Or, as one friend (with bad eyesight) asked (of my tattoo), “Does that say go flaccidly?” I’m finding that my tattoo is speaking more than I ever thought it would.
