Sažetak
Tattooing has a long and rich history as one of the oldest ways of body art. Therefore it can be viewed as an occupation and art. The aim of this research was to find out more about experiences of tattoo artists in Croatia at work and how they use personal social and cultural capital in their career development. For the purposes of the research, semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight female and seven male tattoo artists. Due to the common characteristics (precarious work-life balance, working on projects etc.) tattooing has been compared with creative industries. Theoretical background also consisted of social and cultural capital (represented by leading theorists like Mark Granovetter, Robert D. Putnam, Pierre Bourdieu) and current researches in the same field. Qualitative analysis yielded few topics, where gender-based differences were found. Both male and female tattoo artists claim they are burned out but satisfied with their life and work overall. The experience of tattoo artists shows the importance of strong ties in the form of support from family, partners and friends. That was especially the case with female tattoo artists, who entered tattoo industry through their partners and who felt safer when they have male colleagues by their side. Analysing cultural capital, differences were mostly found in way how they refer to tattooing as an art. This research revealed gender inequalities that were seen as discrimination against female tattoo artists from clients and tattooed women because of large, visible - “unfeminine” tattoos.
