This project examines the tattoo as a document using 18 in-depth interviews. The preliminary analysis of the results indicates the importance of distinguishing between tattoos that bear meaning and those that are purely aesthetic, and the fact that the two types may coexist. They also emphasize the importance of preserving the original aspect of the tattoo , even when visually ill-loved or associated with bad memories, thus testifying to the documentary function of certain tattoos.
