Abstract

After some research has found that tattoos have been around forever. It has been studied by anthropologists, especially when dealing with tribal tattoos. The difference is that now in our consumer society, tattoos are not only markers of tribal identity or certain professions, but cut across all social classes and lifestyles. This thesis explains how this change has occurred, as we understand the transformation of the image generated by the tattoo, historically regarded as a stigma, but � [+]nowadays regarded as an artistic work or body adornment
