ABSTRACT

This study aimed at identifying motivations, risk behavior and social practices, comparing tattooed and non-tattooed women. 316 women (50% tattooed) were surveyed online, answering questions on sociodemographic data, social practices, motivations, and risk behavior. Data collection strategies included snow-balling, social networks, personal contact, and visits to tattoo parlors. The main results indicate that the majority of women express satisfaction with their physical appearance after getting tattooed, and wouldn't get the tattoo removed. Being tattooed correlated with risk behaviors such as casual sex with unknown people, alcohol and drug use, and psychopathology. The sample presented more similarities than differences between tattooed and non-tattooed groups, suggesting that growing popularization and social acceptance of tattooing has led to a decrease of the differences between the groups. Such results may inform future research and the production of informative materials aimed at demystifying negative stereotypes associated to tattoos. (AU)


O objetivo foi identificar as motivações, práticas sociais e comportamento de risco de mulheres tatuadas e não tatuadas. Participaram 316, divididas igualmente entre as categorias. As estratégias de acesso aos participantes foram variadas: técnica de snowball, redes sociais, contato pessoal e idas a estúdios de tatuagem. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de um survey on-line, composto por: questões sociodemográficas, práticas sociais, motivações e comportamento de risco. Os principais resultados indicam que a maioria das mulheres apresenta satisfação com sua aparência após realizarem tatuagem e não as removeriam. Houve associação entre ter tatuagem e comportamento sexual de risco, prática sexual com desconhecidos, álcool e outras drogas e psicopatologia. A amostra apresentou mais semelhanças do que diferenças, sugerindo que a popularização e aceitação social da tatuagem têm refletido na diminuição das diferenças entre tatuados e não tatuados. Tais resultados podem permitir a construção de informativos que contribuam na desmistificação de estereótipos negativos frente à tatuagem. (AU)


El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar motivaciones, comportamiento de riesgo y prácticas sociales, entre mujeres con tatuajes y sin tatuajes.

ABSTRACT

Resumo A experiência de aproximação com o tema de tatuagens e o diálogo conceitual com Deleuze e Guattari (1992) nos levaram à problematização da tatuagem como personagem conceitual nas relações entre os modos de subjetivar e trabalhar. Associamos a discussão dessas relações à noção de trabalho imaterial (Gorz, 2005) e à concepção de vida líquida na sociedade líquido-moderna (Bauman, 2007). A fim de compreender a relação entre o trabalhar e o tatuar-se nessa sociedade, desenvolvemos um estudo cartográfico que contemplou essas noções para pensar os relatos de sujeitos que portam em parte visível do corpo uma tatuagem alusiva a seu trabalho. A análise apontou que a tatuagem compreendida como personagem conceitual constitui tanto a marca no corpo como um tempo que perdura, e diz de uma estratégia de inventar a vida como forma de reflexão, (d)enúncia, expressão, resistência, comunicação, interação, conexão, conjugação e continuação, criando possibilidades de outras interações e escolhas.


Resumen La experiencia de aproximación con el tema de los tatuajes y el diálogo conceptual con Deleuze y Guattarri (1992) nos llevó al cuestionamiento del tatuaje como el personaje conceptual en las relaciones entre los modos de subjetivar y trabajar. Asociamos la discusión de estas relaciones al concepto de trabajo inmaterial (Gorz, 2005) y a la concepción de la vida líquida en la sociedad líquido-moderna (Bauman, 2007). Con el fin de entender la relación entre trabajo y el acto de tatuarse, hemos desarrollado un estudio cartográfico que contempla tales nociones para comprender los relatos de los sujetos que llevan un tatuaje en una parte visible del cuerpo haciendo alusión a sus trabajos. El análisis indicó que el tatuaje entendido como personaje conceptual constituye la marca en el cuerpo y también un tiempo que dura. El tatuaje expresa una estrategia de inventar la vida como una forma de reflexión, (d)enuncia, expresión, resistencia, comunicación, interacción, conexión, combinación y continuación, creando oportunidades para otras interacciones y decisiones.


Abstract The approach with the topic of tattoos and the conceptual dialogue with Deleuze and Guattari (1992) led us to questioning tattoos as a conceptual character in the relations between modes of subjectivation and work. We associate the discussion of these relationships to the immaterial work concept (Gorz, 2005) and liquid life in liquid-modern society (Bauman, 2007). To understand the relationship between working and getting a tattoo in this society, we have developed a cartographic study that included such notions to think about the subject that carry a tattoo alluding to their work. The analysis pointed out that tattoos as a conceptual character is both the mark on the body and a time that endures, as well as a strategy to invent life as a form of reflection, (d)enouncement, expression, strength, communication, interaction, connection, conjugation and continuance, creating opportunities for other interactions and choices.

ABSTRACT

Este artigo, com base na psicossociologia, problematiza processos de subjetivação sobre o corpo na atualidade, tomando o uso da tatuagem como analisador. O incremento das demandas para essa prática chama atenção, visto que a tatuagem remete à permanência e as subjetivações atuais prezam a efemeridade. A imagem e o tempo imediato são também valorizados, bem como a visibilidade. Estes colocam a tatuagem em sintonia com os movimentos de culto ao corpo, exacerbados atualmente. São movimentos distintos que apontam para divergências e convergências do mesmo fenômeno, e que tornam as problemáticas do corpo e tatuagens paradigmáticas na atualidade. De forma a encaminhar essas discussões, são utilizados trechos de entrevistas com adultos tatuados, realizadas durante o trabalho de campo em que se pôde notar a grande importância da visibilidade e experiência tátil no processo de escolha e feitura de tatuagens...

El aumento de la demanda de esta práctica llama la atención, ya que el tatuaje se refiere a la permanencia, cuando las subjetivaciones actuales aprecian el efémero. La imagen y el tiempo inmediato también se valoran, así como la visibilidad. El tatuaje está en sintonía con los movimientos de culto al cuerpo, exacerbados en la actualidad. Son movimientos distintos que revelan divergencias y convergencias de un mismo fenómeno, y que hacen las cuestiones del cuerpo y de los tatuajes paradigmáticos en la actualidad. Para avanzar este debate, nos utilizamos de entrevistas con adultos tatuados, hechas en trabajo de campo, donde se puede tener en cuenta la importancia de la visibilidad y la experiencia táctil en el proceso de selección y elaboración de los tatuajes...


This study is based on the Psychosociology and analyzes subjectivity's processes about the body in our days, taking the use of tattooing as a analyzer. The increased demands of this practice is interesting, because the tattoo refers to the permanence, and the current value today appreciate is the ephemerality. On the other hand, the image and the immediate time are also valued, as well as the visibility. In this way, the tattoo fits well with the movements of body's worship that is so exacerbated today. These are distinct movements that reveal divergences and convergences of the same phenomenon, and make the themes "body" and "tattoos" paradigmatic in our days. To conduct these discussions, some interviews with tattooed adults are used. They pointed the importance of visibility and tactile experience in the process of choosing and making the tattoo...

ABSTRACT

Este artigo problematiza a condição traumatogênica da modernidade no que tange as experiências de choque e a paixão pelo Real tematizadas por autores como Christoph Türcke e Slavoj Zizek que, em nossa hipótese, se "encarnam" em fenômenos como das Bodymodifications. Para tanto, propõe-se um diálogo entre Psicanálise e as injunções histórico-culturais contemporâneas, munido de uma análise-interpretativa do material colhido no site www.bmezine.com. Entende-se que a economia pulsional ligada a tais práticas é correlata ao trauma e ao vício como compulsão a repetição: as feridas autoimpingidas pelos adeptos situam uma tentativa, ainda que inócua, de ligar o excesso energético. Sob uma explícita expressão do amalgama dialético entre pulsão de morte e pulsão de vida emerge o fracasso do princípio de prazer.


This article discusses the condition of modernity in relation to shock experiences and the passion for Real, thematized by authors such as Christoph Türcke and Slavoj Zizek, which in our hypothesis these are "incarnates" in phenomena such as the Bodymodifications. For this purpose, it is proposed a dialogue between psychoanalysis and critical theory, from analysis-interpretative of the material collected on the site www.bmezine.com. It is understood that the wound is situated in a attempt, still failed, to turning on the energetic excess.

ABSTRACT

Autores abordam o tema tatuagem como forma de expressão e seus significados social e psicologico. As marcas corporais, portanto, devem ser entendidas nesse contexto maior, no qual hoje nos apoiamos mais em nossos corpos para ser alguém. Acreditam que fazem parte do mesmo quadro histórico que produz tantas academias, dietas, disciplina corporal. Há uma preocupação obsecante com a saúde e com a aparência, que redunda num exagerado cuidado com o corpo.

ABSTRACT

Background: The use of tattoos and piercings has increased, especially among adolescents in the last decades. Aim: To evaluate the prevalence of these behaviors in adolescents and their association with risk behaviors such as alcohol, tobacco and illicit drug use and sexual promiscuity. Material and Methods: An anonymous and confidential survey about tattooing and piercings was applied to randomly selected high school teenagers, attending municipal, private-subsidized and private schools, in four sectors of Santiago (north-east, south-east, north-west, south-west). Results: The surveys were answered by 1329 participants with a mean age of 15 years (62% women) from 9 schools in Santiago. The prevalence of tattoos was 1.7% (confidence intervals (CI) 1.1% to 2.5%). The figure for piercings was 30.6% (CI 28.2 to 33.1%). A higher prevalence of tattooing and piercings was observed in groups with a history of psychiatric disorders, criminal records, alcohol, tobacco and illicit drug consumption and initiation of sexual activity (p < 0,001). Conclusions: This study confirms that tattoos and piercings are indicators of adolescent risk behaviors.

ABSTRACT

Las marcaciones corporales pueblan la piel del adolescente hipermodermo, al extremo de convertirla en un lienzo en el cual se expresan de modo privilegiado, y bajo las más diversas grafías, noveles modos de vincularse con el cuerpo y con los otros. Se entiende que la eficacia de estas marcas no acaba allí sino que conllevan un valor simbolizante que las hace centrales en la dramática identificatoria adolescente.


The body markings populate the skin of the hypermodermic adolescent, to the extreme of turning it into a canvas in which they express themselves in a privileged way, and under the most diverse spellings, novel ways of connecting with the body and with others. It is understood that the effectiveness of these marks does not end there but rather that they carry a symbolizing value that makes them central to the dramatic adolescent identification.

ABSTRACT

Este estudo objetivou conhecer em que medida os valores explicam as atitudes frente à tatuagem e estas, por sua vez, predizem a intenção de tatuar-se. Participaram 263 estudantes universitários de João Pessoa, com idade média de 20,7 anos, a maioria homem (54,7 por cento) e solteira (91 por cento). Estes responderam a Escala de Atitudes frente à Tatuagem, o Questionário dos Valores Básicos e perguntas demográficas (idade, sexo, religiosidade). Os resultados indicaram atitudes dos participantes mais negativas frente à tatuagem, sobretudo aqueles de ciências exatas e naturais. Comprovou-se a adequação de um modelo triádico, onde os valores predisseram as atitudes frente à tatuagem e, estas, a intenção de tatuar-se. Especificamente, a subfunção normativa promoveu atitudes negativas frente à tatuagem, enquanto a subfunção experimentação favoreceu aquelas mais positivas. Conclui-se que as atitudes frente à tatuagem têm base valorativa, explicando a intenção de tatuar-se. Sugeriram-se pesquisas futuras que contribuam para explicar as atitudes frente à tatuagem.


This study investigated the extent to which values explain the attitudes towards tattoos and these, in turn, predict the intention of tattooing. Participants were 263 undergraduate students from João Pessoa (Brazil), with mean age of 20.7 years, mostly men (54.7 percent) and unmarried (91 percent). They answered the Attitudes toward Tattoo Scale, the Basic Values Survey and demographic questions (age, gender, and religiosity). Results indicated that the participants' attitudes toward tattooing were predominantly negatives, especially among students of natural and exact sciences. The adequacy of a triadic model was proved, where human values predicted attitudes toward tattooing and these, the intention of getting tattooed. Specifically, the value subfunction normative promoted negative attitudes toward tattooing, while the subfunction excitement favored more positive attitudes. In conclusion, attitudes toward tattooing have a value basis, accounting for people intention of getting tattooed. Future research is suggested to contribute on the explanation of attitudes toward tattooing.

ABSTRACT

FUNDAMENTOS: A tatuagem é um fenômeno atávico e difuso que suscita abordagem por diversos saberes. Sua utilização por grupos específicos como prisioneiros e pacientes psiquiátricos sempre a manteve associada a um caráter de estigma. OBJETIVOS: Buscar o discurso do tatuado acerca da discriminação e da construção de estigmas a partir da inscrição de marcas no corpo. MÉTODOS: Foram analisadas entrevistas de 42 indivíduos. RESULTADOS: O perfil obtido foi de maioria de mulheres; com duas a quatro tatuagens; com 23 anos ao fazê-las; com formação superior completa; que acham que era moda fazer tatuagens; que não referem nenhum fato marcante que os tenha levado a fazer o desenho; que classificam a dor como suportável; que afirmam que nunca se sentiram discriminados; que nunca esconderam sua tatuagem; que acham que a tatuagem é um atrativo sexual; que não veem a tatuagem como uma forma de resistência cultural; que deixariam de fazê-la se lhes trouxesse prejuízo profissional; que dizem não ter usado álcool quando fizeram o desenho; que afirmam não serem usuários habituais de drogas; que acham que a tatuagem é uma forma de se expressar e de se embelezar. CONCLUSÕES: Percebeu-se que existe uma diferença entre o discurso do tatuado e os seus atos, quanto ao contexto social, e verificou-se uma importante mudança no significado da prática para o tatuado.


BACKGROUNDS: Tattooing is an atavist and diffuse phenomenon of interest to various areas of knowledge. Its practice by specific groups such as prisoners and psychiatric patients has turned it into a stigma. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the discourse of tattooed individuals about the discrimination and the construction of stigmas resulting from marks in the body. METHODS: 42 individuals were interviewed and the data were analyzed. RESULTS: The profile of the participants was as follows: most were women; with 2 to 4 tattoos; who were about 23 years old when they got their first tattoo; with an undergraduate degree; who viewed tattooing as a trend; who did not report any important fact that made them get a tattoo; who classified the pain of getting a tattoo as tolerable, who stated that never felt discriminated and never felt the need to hide the tattoos; who find that tattoos make them more sexually attractive; who do not view tattooing as a form of cultural resistance; who said they would not have done it if they believed it caused them professional problems; who stated that they were not drunk when they got the tattoos; who said they were not habitual drugs users, who believed that tattooing is a form of expression and aesthetic sense. CONCLUSION: A difference between the discourse of tattooed individuals and their acts was observed in relation to the social context. In addition, there has been an important shift in the meaning of the practice to tattooed individuals.

ABSTRACT

A pesar de estar en el siglo XXI se ha retomado el lenguaje con códigos de comunicación arcaicos. Los jóvenes forman su identidad mediante la interacción con sus pares y los tatuajes y "piercing" tienen sus propios códigos, que son interpretados por el grupo que los lleva. Actualmente los tatuajes y los "piercing" encuentran su lugar predominante en la población adolescente, donde se han reinstalado por ser "moda" y generalmente se aceptan por estar generalizados. Asimismo los observamos en poblaciones marginales: de drogadictos y carcelarias. Realizarse un tatuaje y/o "piercing" implica ciertos riesgos, entre los que podemos mencionar la transmisión de infecciones que pueden ser localizadas en las zonas del tatuaje y/o "piercing"; y/o generalizadas como las virósicas algunas de las cuales conllevan riesgos de salud como el virus del HIV, de las hepatitis A,B,C. Pueden observarse también reacciones alérgicas, de hipersensibilidad, liquenoides, granulomatosas y varias como cicatrices hipertróficas y queloides; asimismo desencadenar un primer episodio de psoriasis, lupus, etc. Dentro de las recomendaciones para informar a la población deberíamos incluir: que las regiones del cuerpo más riesgosas para la realización de los mismos (que debieran evitarse) son aquellas que asientan en cabeza (incluyendo boca, nariz), cuello y órganos genitales. También es importante tener la vacunación antitetánica actualizada, considerar las condiciones de higiene del local donde se va a asistir y el tipo de material a utilizar, debiendo ser en lo posible material descartable. Los cuidados durante los primeros días post práctica son: mantener la zona limpia y seca, baños cortos, secarse sin frotado y no exponerse al sol por tres o cuatro meses. Asimismo es aconsejable ante cualquier reacción concurrir a la consulta profesional.


In spite of being in the XXI century, several archaic codes of communication language have been restablished. Young people form their identity by peer interaction, and tattoos and piercing have their own codes interpreted by the group by whom are exhibited. Nowadays tattoos and piercing have taken their place among adolescents where they have been reinstalled as "fashion" and widely accepted. Also, there are used in marginal populations such as drug users and prison inmates. Having a tattoo and/or piercing implies certain risks among which we are the transition of infectious diseases that could be localized at the site of the tattoo/piercing, or generalized as viral infections such HIV, and hepatitis A, B, or C. Other possible complications are the appearance of allergic, hypersensitivity, lichenoid, and granulomatous reactions, or the triggering of a first episode of psoriasis, lupus, etc. In the recommendations to inform the population we should include that the body regions more unsafe for these practices are: the head (including mouth and nose), neck, and genitalia. Is also very important to have tetanus vaccines updated, considering the hygiene conditions of the tattoo parlor and the quality of the material that is going to be used which should be disposable if possible. The local care in the first days post-practice are: keeping the region clean and dry, short showers, dry without rubbing, and avoid the sun for three or four months. Also is advisable in the case of any reaction seek for professional advice.

ABSTRACT

To examine whether tattooed patients, treated for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) caused by war at the Ward for Psycho-trauma of the Clinical Hospital Osijek, differ from non-tattooed patients by certain personality traits. The study was conducted on one hundred Croatian veterans who were divided into two groups with respect to the presence/ absence of tattoo. To assess the symptoms of PTSD, the Clinical Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS-2) was used for all subjects. To assess personality traits the following psychology tests were applied: Purdue non-verbal IQ test, Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-1), and Eysenck's Personality Questionnaire (EPQ/A and EPQ/IVE). With respect to the examined pre-traumatic variables and PTSD symptoms, the two groups manifested no differences. The non-tattooed group achieved higher scores on the IQ test (IQ=100) than the tattooed group (IQ=95). EPQ test showed results either above or below the norms on all scales that were applied. The tattooed group demonstrated significantly higher levels of impulsiveness, adventurism, empathy and neuroticism than the non-tattooed one (p < 0.05). In the group of 100 Croatian veterans treated for PTSD, 33 had tattoos and 67 did not. The results indicated more impulsiveness, adventurism / risk behavior, empathy and neuroticism in the tattooed group than in the non-tattooed group, while there was no significant difference in the intensity of the PTSD symptoms.

ABSTRACT

En la práctica de la Cirugía Plástica y Reconstructiva, un motivo frecuente de consulta lo constituyen los pacientes que presentan tatuajes en diversas partes del cuerpo, los cuales solicitan su resección, con objeto de ingresar a organismos de seguridad pública o privada. Existe la creencia que dichos sujetos a menudo presentan patrones de conducta de tipo antisocial. Para investigar esto, se realizó un estudio de tipo prospectivo, observacional y longitudinal, de 60 pacientes durante un periodo de 12 meses. Las edades de los sujetos oscilaron entre 15 y 45 años. El procedimiento incluyó una evaluación psiquiátrica, aunada a la evaluación psicológica mediante una entrevista y la aplicación de las siguientes pruebas: MMPI, MACHOVER, HTP, BENDER. Posteriormente, y con base en un análisis de los resultados obtenidos y de acuerdo a los parámetros estipulados en el DSM-IV, se elaboró un diagnóstico que permitió identificar un "perfil psiquiátrico común". En el 20 por ciento de la muestra estudiada, el perfil estuvo caracterizado por la presencia de rasgos de personalidad antisocial, nivel educativo bajo y nivel socioeconómico precario. Se concluye que estos individuos no son los candidatos ideales para asumir cargos como servidores públicos en cuerpos de seguridad

ABSTRACT

In 2, 178 tattooed male conscripts in ages of 19-24 years, the most frequent tattoo was a heart mark or a mark of heart and arrow. The Chinese characters which mean "one mind," eagles, dragons, some of 12 zodiacal animals, flowers, and flowers and butterflies or birds were also frequent. The ten Korean symbols of long life and symbols which have been traditionally believed as having evil-repelling powers, for example, blue dragon or white tiger were also found. The frequency of images were different between the provinces with different historical and cultural backgrounds. Data was obtained through interviews with 781 tattooed males. Analysis of the data revealed the following. The prevalence of tattooing was 5.6%. The most prevailing motivation to having tattoos was a contemporary group craze or fashion. Of the 781 tattooed men, 62% had tattoos on their forearms, 34.2% had self-injured scars on their bodies, and 18.6% had criminal convictions. The results of MMPI showed high scores in items of psychopathic deviate and schizophrenia. This suggests that those with tattoos were impulsive, hostile and were prone to delinquent behavior. These results indicate that selection of the image to be tattooed is heavily influenced by inner needs and the cultural background of individuals.
