Finnish-themed Tattoos in North America

Abstrakti

Readers may be interested in the findings of a project that was undertaken in early 2016 that examined the apparent popularity of Finnish-themed tattoos among the Finnish ethnic group in North America. With four of my own children who obtained Finnish-themed tattoos as a sibling bonding event in Christmas 2013, and a 2015 encounter with a Finnish-Canadian customs officer at the Winnipeg International Airport who also had a tattoo on her wrist, I started a project that appeared to be of interest to many people.
