I thought you might find these articles interesting. The article on tattoos explores how they link to someone's identity. Body Tattoos
The second article on tattoos also explores them as a cultural symbol and discusses the merging of popular and high culture through tattooing quotations from classic literature. Text and Tattoos
The article on Grand Theft Auto also considers the relationship between high and popular culture as it explores the rise of the video game and whether it can be classed as more than popular culture. Grand Theft Auto
Would love to hear your thoughts on any of the above!

I think tattoos link to someone's identity because some people think a lot about how to connect a tattoo to a memory or a significant moment, so it can be expressed to others. As well as being seen by them every day maybe to remind them of that moment/memory.
