The tattoo has been, at the moment, one of the phenomenon associated to the body more propagated in the contemporaneity. The purpose of this study was to identify the social representations of tattooing for tattooed peaple. Thirty-six individual semi-directive individuals interviews were conducted with individuals of both sexes, subdivided into 12 categories, according to the following criteria: gender, tattoo size and the time of the first tattoo. A thematic-categorial content analysis was performed, with the help of Atlas.ti software. Through the dimensional approach, it was found that the tattoo is understood as a means of externalizing some important meaning in the body, with varied motives. Social representations acquire a central role in the elaboration of collective ways of seeing and living the body, spreading patterns of thought and behavior, considering that individual history, motivations and interpersonal relationships are permeated by socially acquired knowledge, beliefs and values.Downloads
