Abstract:
This study attempted to analyze people’s needs for tattooing by comparing appearance interest, tattoo perception, tatto behavior against university students in their 20s, who usually have a high interest in their appearance and tattoos and provide basic data needed for tattoo development to enhance customer satisfaction. For this, a questionnaire survey was performed against 108 men and 209 women in June and September, 2019, and the results found the followings: First, in terms of the influence of appearance interest on their perception of tattoos, men were greater than women. In other words, college men with high interest in their appearance revealed a high perception of tattoos. Second, both university men and women were very aware of the importance of appearance. However, men were less active than women in searching for fashion and beauty-related information. Compared to college men, furthermore, college women were more interested in tattooing and showed a higher willingness to get tattooed with a positive mindset. In particular, they believed that safety is important in tattooing. Third, in terms of tattoo design, men preferred letter and animal tattoos while nature and plant tattoos were popular among women. Even though refined and stylish tattoos were preferred by both university men and women, the former liked manly tattoos while the latter loved sexy tattoos.

Abstract:
Since the ‘50s there is a steady rise in popularity and social acceptance towards tattooing. While people may choose to get a tattoo for a variety of reason, it seems that for the majority they are meaningful and convey personal messages and stories in symbolic form. This article focuses on communicative quality of tattoos, derived from their narrative design. First, the social meaning of the very fact of being tattooed is discussed, drawing on prevailing social prejudice and stereotypes. Then, tattoos are analyzed from the standpoint of personal narratives, showcasing various meanings that can be deciphered both by the others and by tattoees themselves. Finally, the dynamic and relative nature of tattoos is examined, with a closing reflection upon the reason why getting tattoos might be so compelling.

Abstract:
Some of the women often wear clothes that tend to show. Tattoos can make them have a positive impression wherein it makes them feel sexy, cool or attractive in appearance. The reason for using a tattoo is because they like the image on the other hand because they prefer to have an image in their body which is their characteristic in their socializing. The purpose of this study was to determine the gender construction in the Tatoart community in Gorontalo City. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with data collection through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the research are; Gender construction in the Tatoart Community as a style to beautify one's appearance. Tattoos are also used as a measure of association, meaning that the more tattoos the woman is assessed for the extent of her association. So that some women admit that the use of tattoos is considered more slang in front of their friends. Women who have tattoos are those who also have playmates who have tattoos, so they are influenced to get tattooed. And some women who have tattoos also reason to put tattoos because of identity. The meaning for each tattoo is different. This depends on the selection of the tattoo motif and the placement of the tattoo on the body. Women put on permanent tattoos, which are tattoos that can last a lifetime on the skin, and for placement, women who are tattooed in Gorontalo City are generally more daring to put it around the body that is not covered to make it easier to show off. is considered positive when the use of tattoos is used as art or decoration that aims to beautify the body or appearance. The self-concept of tattooed women belonging to the Gorontalo Tattooart Community (GTC) is a concept where they act in accordance with the views of themselves and others towards themselves. The tattooed woman, a member of the Gorontalo Tattooart Community (GTC), considers tattooing as an art that everyone is free to wear, and they think that they can learn a lot after using tattoos because of the many negative views from outsiders that make them even stronger individuals in carrying out the day.

Abstract:
Purpose As employers are purportedly becoming more receptive to tattoos, the question arises whether tattooed employees are nonetheless subject to unfavorable treatment. In this light, the purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of different tattoo characteristics on four outcomes: annual earnings, fair interpersonal treatment from supervisors, perceived discrimination and perceived overqualification. The specific tattoo characteristics were tattoo number, visibility and content. Design/methodology/approach Survey data from a sample of 162 tattooed hospitality employees were obtained from a Qualtrics research panel and analyzed using regression. Findings The results demonstrated that employees with a greater degree of dark tattoo content (content of a more threatening and intimidating nature) received less favorable treatment, as demonstrated by significant relationships with fair interpersonal treatment, perceived discrimination and perceived overqualification. Tattoo number was related to increased perceived discrimination and perceived overqualification. At the same time, tattoo number was related to increased annual earnings, signaling a benefit. Research limitations/implications Measures of tattoo characteristics and workplace outcomes were collected in a single survey. An analysis of data collected at different points would potentially provide a more definitive test of cause and effect. Practical implications On one front, organizations should establish grooming policies that specify what is acceptable with respect to tattoos. To help minimize personality-related tattoo stereotypes from influencing hiring decisions, organizations could use personality assessments to make the hiring process more objective. Moreover, diversity training could address tattoo-related stereotypes, bias and prejudice. Originality/value Even though prior studies have demonstrated that tattooed people are viewed as less suitable for employment, research focused on the relationship between tattoos and actual discrimination has been limited. The results from this study highlight that employees with tattoos may still be subject to maltreatment, despite the mainstreaming of tattoos.

Abstract:
This study examined differences between tattooed and non-tattooed individuals on a range of personality and individual difference measures. A community sample of 540 individuals from the southern German-speaking area of central Europe completed a survey consisting of measures of the Big Five personality factors, Need for Uniqueness, Self-esteem, sensation seeking, Religious and Spiritual Beliefs, Attitudes Toward Tattoos, tattoo possession, and demographics. Preliminary analyses showed that 22% of the total sample possessed at least one tattoo. Further analyses showed that, compared with non-tattooed ( n = 420) individuals, tattooed participants ( n = 120) had significantly higher scores on Extraversion, Experience Seeking, Need for Uniqueness, and held more positive Attitudes Toward Tattoos, although effect sizes of these group differences were generally small- to medium-sized. These results are considered in relation to the contemporary prevalence of tattoos in socioeconomically developed societies.

Abstract:
Since ancient times, people have tattooed their skin for various reasons. In the past, tattoos were associated with low social status; nowadays, tattoos are very popular and are considered a form of art. However, tattoos are associated with various clinical problems, including immune reactions, inflammatory disorders, infections, and even skin cancer. Epidemiological and clinical data of infections on tattoos are scarce. Tattoo-related infections are mostly bacterial; only a few localized viral infections have been reported so far and are caused by molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV), human papillomavirus (HPV), and herpes simplex virus (HSV). In most cases, the lesions were strictly confined to the area of the tattoo. In this review, we have analysed reported cases of viral infections localized on tattoos and discussed the possible mechanisms involved in the occurrence of these infections.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to critically analyze unique stories nested in flesh to exhaustively help readers and future researchers expand their appreciation and understanding on the expansive value of tattoos, its importance more than the symbols and images shown, and the recurring themes that can often tell you something about the person wearing the tattoo. Moreover, it seeks to understand how those without tattoos think towards those who have one. In this study, the researcher has used the qualitative method among 20 tattooed and 20 non-tattooed students in Talisay City College who were selected randomly. The results of the study show that non-tattooed respondents perceive as less acceptable than those students with tattoos. Most of the tattooed respondents’ motives for having tattoos are for self-identity that tattoos can never be taken away from them as it permanently inked on the skin. Other students see it as self-expression, making them unique in shapes, sizes, and colors. The researcher recommends an orientation-seminar on acceptance and tolerance in order to remove typecasting and value the stories inscribed in flesh.

Abstract:
PurposeAs tattoos increase in popularity, questions persist regarding their impact on customer perceptions. To help shed light into this issue, this paper aims to explore the impact of tattooed restaurant servers in the context of service failures. Through the agency and communion theory, the authors propose that a female server with tattoos induces higher levels of negative word of mouth (WOM) intention than her male counterpart. Furthermore, the authors propose that perceived competence mediates this effect.Design/methodology/approachThrough a 2 (tattoos status: yes, no) × 2 (server’s gender: male, female) experimental design, a panel of consumers were exposed to a restaurant service failure scenario with a photograph of a server. Depending on the condition, the server was either a male or female and had (or not) a tattoo on their left arm and neck. The same tattoo design was used for both genders.FindingsThe findings indicate that, in a service failure context, customers’ propensity to generate negative WOM does not differ across tattooed (vs non-tattooed) servers. However, contrary to the expectations of the authors, people tend to react more negatively to a male (vs female) server with tattoos.Originality/valueResearch on tattoos in the customer service context is scant, especially in hospitality. Furthermore, no previous study on tattoos has empirically tested a mediation process explaining differences in customer perceptions. Contrary to previous findings, this study demonstrates that an exposure to male (vs female) tattooed servers increases customers’ propensity to generate negative WOM. In other words, the type of profession coupled with the employees’ gender might influence customer perceptions. Furthermore, as customers’ propensity to generate negative WOM did not increase when served by a tattooed (vs non-tattooed) employee, managers in aesthetic labor industries, such as the foodservice business, can be more accepting of employees with tattoos.

Abstract:
Do job applicants and employees with tattoos suffer a penalty in the labor market because of their body art? Previous research has found that tattooed people are widely perceived by hiring managers to be less employable than people without tattoos. This is especially the case for those who have visible tattoos (particularly offensive ones) that are difficult to conceal. Given this backdrop, our research surprisingly found no empirical evidence of employment, wage or earnings discrimination against people with various types of tattoos. In our sample, and considering a variety of alternative estimation techniques, not only are the wages and annual earnings of tattooed employees in the United States statistically indistinguishable from the wages and annual earnings of employees without tattoos, but tattooed individuals are also just as likely, and in some instances even more likely, to gain employment. These results suggest that, contrary to popular opinion as well as research findings with hiring managers and customers, having a tattoo does not appear to be associated with disadvantage or discrimination in the labor market.

Abstract:
This study explores the history of tattoos in the United States along with the role and significance of tattos today. The study's primary research question seeks to discover whether tattoos anchor an individual's personal narrative and help to solidify an individual's sense of self. The study considers both modernist and postmodernist concepts of identity, but ultimately supports a perspective which argues that identity is the result of an individual's ability to keep a consistent narrative going over time. This exploratory study uses a qualitatative approach to discern the meanings behind individuals' tattoos through their own words and conceptions. Eight individuals ranging in age, race and gender were interviewed in order to collect data for the study. The findings suggest that individuals frame the importance of their tattoos in a variety of ways from tattoos that commemorate aspects of one's past to tattoos that are highly symbolic of an individual's sense of self.

Abstract:
More often than not, when we think about visual rhetoric, especially in the fields of composition and literature, we imagine such visual texts as video games, advertisements, and graffiti/art. It’s rare that our thoughts turn to tattoos and the idea that women’s tattoos in particular, as visual text, act as a rhetorical device subverting dominant social norms of how heteropatriarchy defines woman and femininity. The dominant notions of how we think about text – writing, rhetoric, and the publication of narrative – facilitates the construction of a tattoo rhetoric. Utilizing a feminist lens, this thesis demonstrates the visual rhetoric of women’s tattoos and the construction of a tattoo rhetoric, drawing from elements of queers of color, women of color, and visual rhetoric scholars, as well as such theorists as Judith Butler, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Roland Barthes, and Mikhail Bakhtin. I explore Shelly Jackson’s Skin and the embodied texts of Kat Von D’s tattoos to convey the disidentification from and deconstruction of traditional and dominant notions of writing, rhetoric, and narrative, as well as heteropatriarchal constructs and governance of women, women’s bodies, and femininity. The visual rhetoric of women’s tattoos empowers women to radically challenge mainstream perceptions of feminine beauty, reclaim agency over their own bodies, and construct new meaning of woman and embodied texts. Women’s tattooed bodies facilitate the deconstruction of dominant ideologies of woman, femininity, and of text; the reconstruction of how woman and visual text are defined; and the construction of a tattoo rhetoric.

University of Central Florida College of Sciences Honors thesis
The relationship between identity and tattooing regarding female members of the punk community has not been fully explored by the academic community. Through the exploration of the anthropological history of tattoos as markers of identity, the pro-social aspects of this form of body modification can be illustrated. Placing emphasis on punk women, tattoos are shown to positively affect individual identity and reinforce social bonds. The pioneering nature of punk music and the outright rejection of cultural norms creates an atmosphere in which women can more adequately express their identity through the use of body modification. In this open environment where societal norms regarding body modification are rebuked, tattoos are also used to reinforce social bonds amongst those willing to permanently display their dedication to a non-mainstream aesthetic.

Abstract:
Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2005.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 67-70).
The recent influx of tattoos has been accompanied by a rise in demand for tattoo removals. Due to the recent success of ultrasound as a noninvasive alternative for multiple medical therapies, the feasibility of ultrasound-mediated tattoo removals will be investigated in this thesis. During tattoo applications, dermal cells consume and store tattoo particles in vacuoles in the same manner fat cells store lipids. It is therefore assumed that tattooed cells adopt an "effective density" analogous to the way fat cells develop a lower density. Using this change in mechanical property, the hypothesis is that focused, high frequency ultrasound can target tattooed cells. These cells may be selectively disrupted based on differences in mechanical and acoustic properties between healthy and tattooed cells. As no previous studies have investigated the ultrasound effects or mechanical properties of particle-filled cells, a preliminary model of crudely simulated tattooed cells is designed treating each cell as a homogenous structure. Microspheres of various materials are used to represent and generate a range of density and elasticity that capture these effective properties.
(cont.) This thesis applies this preliminary model to a pilot study examining the interactions of ultrasound with glass and polystyrene microspheres. Microspheres were suspended in agar gel samples to simulate tattooed cells. Each gel sample underwent a series of ultrasound treatments. Two sets of experiments were conducted for each microsphere type testing the variables of intensity, pulse length, and microsphere size. The ultrasound treatments were limited to a maximum frequency of 10MHz and intensity of 25.6W/cm² due to the ultrasound equipment used. After each set of treatments, the agar was cut into 1mm slices and treated microspheres were examined under the microscope. The results in both experiments showed mechanical disruption of the tested microspheres with a particle size threshold. Furthermore, damage to glass beads exhibited a greater dependency on pulse length while polystyrene beads showed a greater sensitivity to intensity. The disruption of the treated microspheres demonstrates ultrasound's ability to affect microspheres in a primitive simulation of tattooed cells and ink particles.

Abstract:
This hermeneutic phenomenological inquiry describes the lived experiences of three visibly tattooed teachers and what it is like to sense their tattooed flesh while they are at school. Lived experience descriptions were collected during in-depth interviews and from personal reflective writings conducted by the study author, who is also a tattooed teacher. Using hermeneutic research approaches outlined by Max van Manen and Linda Finlay, lifeworld descriptions of visibly tattooed teachers are presented in the form of anecdotal passages that urge readers to ‘step into tattooed skin’. Drawing from Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology of perception, Luce Irigaray’s work on intersubjectivity, Michel Foucault’s notion of the disciplinary gaze, theories of the look in education forwarded by Madeline Grumet, and Judith Butler’s notion of subversive bodies, meanings are made of tattooed teachers’ experiences of adopting uncomfortable teacher identities and then growing comfortable in their professional roles. Through hermeneutic analysis, five main themes are presented, constituting the “essences” of the phenomemon of living as a visibly tattooed teacher: Trying to Fit; Mis-fit; Fit. You? Fit You!; Fitting In; and One Size Does Not Fit All.

Abstract:
This study aims to analyze the development and shifts in perception of the tattoo practice. For centuries, the negative image of tattoos has been manifested in Korean society and has only shown visible changes in the past two decades. In recent years, the topic of tattoos in South Korea has become notably more popular and broadly discussed. To give a structured and detailed historical review of the tattoo custom in Korea, two articles in Korean by Kim Hyŏng-jung (2013) and Yi Tong-ch’ŏl (2007) served as main sources. By conducting a semisystematic review with a qualitative approach, the accessed data was examined, compared, and synthesized. The results show that the tattoo practice, although still not fully accepted by all, has gradually developed into its own culture in contemporary South Korean society.
Syftet med denna studie är att analysera utvecklingen och det varierande synsätt på tatueringar. I århundraden har den negativa bilden av tatueringar festats i det koreanska samhället och bara under de senaste två decennierna har en märkbar förändring skett. De senaste åren har tatueringar blivit mer populära och diskuterade. För att ge en strukturerad och detaljerad bild av tatueringar i Sydkorea har två artiklar på koreanska använts som huvudkälla, Kim Hyŏng-jung (2013) och Yi Tong-ch’ŏl (2007). Genom en semi-systematisk översikt med en kvalitativ metod har insamlad data blivit granskad, jämförd och sammankopplad. Resultatet visar att tatueringar fortfarande inte är helt accepterade av alla men att de gradvist har utvecklats till en egen kultur i Sydkoreas samtida samhälle.

Abstract:
Tattoos are still poorly explored as a biometrics factor for human identification, especially in public security, where tattoos can play an important role for identifying criminals and victims. Tattoos are considered a soft biometrics, since they are not permanent and can change along time, differently from hard biometrics traits (fingerprint, iris, DNA, etc). The identification of tattoos are not simple, since they do not have a definite pattern or location. This fact increases the complexity of developing models to address this problem. In addition, the tattoo identification roadmap is very complex, including several steps and, in each step, specific methods need to be developed. Among the several problems identified in this roadmap, we tacked the identification problem, which is defined as: given an image of a person, determine if there is a tattoo or not. We present a deep learning model based on transfer learning for the tattoo detection problem. We also used data augmentation to improve the diversity of the training sets so as to achieve better classification accuracy. Along the work two new datasets for tattoo detection were created. Several comparative experiments were done to evaluate the diversity of images in the datasets, and the accuracy of the proposed model. Results were very promising, achieving an accuracy of 95.1% in the test set, and a F1-score of 0.79 in an external dataset. Overall, results were satisfactory, given the complexity of the problem. Future work will focus on expanding the datasets created and addressing the other problems of the tattoo roadmap.

Abstract:
Lasers have been employed in the removal of tattoos for the past three decades. During this time period, advances in the procedure allow ″lightening″ of tattoos with minimal risk of scarring. The most important development was the concept of selective phothermolysis. This concept lead investigators to examine the effects of employing very short pulsed or q-switched lasers with different wavelengths in treating small tattoo pigment particles.

Abstract:
The work explores the body as a means of artistic expression, focusing on body painting, tattoos and indigenous graphics as historical and cultural forms of art. It discusses the evolution of tattooing from its origins to its popularization and the cultural resistance behind indigenous graphics. It also addresses sexism in the world of tattooing, highlighting interviews with female tattoo artists about their challenges. The author presents her own experiences with tattoos, emphasizing art as a powerful form of personal expression, culminating in a photo essay that celebrates the body as the protagonist of visual communication.

Abstract:
This paper presents a radio-frequency (RF) based assistive technology for voice impairments (i.e., dysphonia), which occurs in an estimated 1% of the global population. We specifically focus on acquired voice disorders where users continue to be able to make facial and lip gestures associated with speech. Despite the rich literature on assistive technologies in this space, there remains a gap for a solution that neither requires external infrastructure in the environment, battery-powered sensors on skin or body-worn manual input devices. We present RFTattoo, which to our knowledge is the first wireless speech recognition system for voice impairments using batteryless and flexible RFID tattoos. We design specialized wafer-thin tattoos attached around the user's face and easily hidden by makeup. We build models that process signal variations from these tattoos to a portable RFID reader to recognize various facial gestures corresponding to distinct classes of sounds. We then develop natural language processing models that infer meaningful words and sentences based on the observed series of gestures. A detailed user study with 10 users reveals 86% accuracy in reconstructing the top-100 words in the English language, even without the users making any sounds.
