New Intervention：Collect and Share Tattoo Stories Through Social Media
After I came out of this idea to collect and share tattoo stories through social media, I asked my clients about their feelings in terms of sharing their stories. It was quite a surprise because I always assumed that people would be protective of their privates but turned out that all three of my clients said that they have no problems with that. A summary of the questions that I asked: Q1: Have you shared your tattoo stories with your friends and family members? A: Yes, but

A summary and reflection on the interaction of my questions
Reflecting on the iteration of my research question Cai mentioned that she couldn't really see the change that I want to see in the last tutorial. I do understand because I was a bit confused myself as well. I had a plan when unit 3 started, but I was stuck in the intervention. The plan was to use "thinking through drawing" to help people to find a way to express themselves and be more engaged in the tattoo design process. But after I talked to my audiences, it seems that mos

Four-week Plan for My Intervention
My research question: How can Chinese tattoo collectors update their perspectives in terms of the gentrification of the tattoo industry? Tattooing is a tool. In the context of the gentrification of the tattoo industry, a tattoo could be an artefact co-created by the tattoo artist and the tattoo collector.

Reflecting on Project 7 Presentation
My presentation yesterday failed to identify the rationale behind my research question and the comments given by Cai created another opportunity for me to reflect on my journey. My question has been iterating during the research and even I would forget where it comes from sometimes. The mind map below should be able to show the key points of my research question. The turning point of my research question is an interview with Maxime. I have posted the transcript a while ago bu

External Verification From TTTISM
TTTISM took my advice regarding the proposal to set up their presence in China on 13th September. It was an encouraging external verification from my perspective. But after I updated my progress with David, he helped me to chill down and stay focused on the intentions of my own project. They see the value in the Chinese market but what can I get from this and how much do I want to offer and sacrifice in the process? I volunteered to help them in doing this because I wanted to
