Resumen
El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo comprender la relación entre la Imagen
Coporal y los tatuajes en tatuadores, con la finalidad de contribuir a la elaboración de un
modelo teórico que permita conocer de qué manera interviene el tatuaje en los pensamientos,
sentimientos y acciones dirigidas hacia el propio cuerpo. Para ello, se utilizó el enfoque
cualitativo de carácter constructivo-intepretativo, utilizando la Dinámica Conversacional
como instrumento de recojo de información (González, 2008). Se encontró que el tatuaje es
utilizado por los participantes como un modo de apropiarse del propio cuerpo, sintiéndose de
esta manera más libres y cómodos con sus cuerpos. En segundo lugar, se halló que el tatuaje
presenta dos usos sociales principales: atraer a los demás o alejarlos a haciendo uso del
estigma asociado a esta práctica. Por último, se encontró que el tatuaje permite inscribir
vivencias (como las cicatrices) y vínculos significativos en el cuerpo.
The aim of this research was to understand the relationship between body image and tattoos in tattoo artists, with the intention of conceiving a theory that encompasses how tattoos influence thoughts, feelings, and general body-related behavior. In order to accomplish this task, a qualitative, constructive-interpretative focus was utilized, with Conversational Dynamics serving as a research tool. (González, 2008). Results suggest that tattoos are used by participants as a means to own their bodies, thus feeling more comfortable and free. Furthermore, tattoos are socially employed in one of two ways: either to bring people closer or to drive them away by making use of the stigma related to the aforementioned art. Finally, it is argued that tattoos allow for people to document their life experiences (like scars do) through the inscription of significant bonds into their bodies.
