“…One early study among high school students from 8 states found that 10% had tattoos, and 55% expressed interest in tattooing. 7 In this sample, tattoos were commonly obtained around the ninth grade, but there were reports of tattooing as early as age 8 years. 7 Among adolescent clinic samples of youth 12 to 22 years of age, tattooing ranged from 10% to 23%, and body piercing (other than the earlobe) ranged from 27% to 42%, 8,9 with higher rates of tattooing and body piercing among girls versus boys and older versus younger adolescents.…”

THE COMMITTEE ON ADOLESCENCE Tattoos, piercing, and scarification are now commonplace among adolescents and young adults. This first clinical report from the American Academy of Pediatrics on voluntary body modification will review the methods used to perform the modifications. Complications resulting from body modification methods, although not common, are discussed to provide the pediatrician with management information. Body modification will be contrasted with nonsuicidal self-injury. When available, information also is presented on societal perceptions of body modification. abstract Tattoos, piercings, and scarification, also known as "body modifications, " are commonly obtained by adolescents and young adults. Previous reports on those who obtain tattoos, piercings, and scarification have focused mainly on high-risk populations, including at-risk adolescents. 1 Tattooing and piercing of various body parts no longer is a high-riskpopulation phenomenon, as evidenced by growing numbers of adults and adolescents not considered at risk who have tattoos and multiple ear and body piercings. The Pew Research Center reports that in 2010, 38% of 18 to 29 year olds had at least 1 tattoo, and 23% had piercings in locations other than an earlobe. 2 Of those with tattoos, 72% were covered and not visible. 2 Scarification is the practice of intentionally irritating the skin to cause a permanent pattern of scar tissue; data are not currently available on the prevalence of scarification in the United States.Although body modifications have become a mainstream trend, they still may be associated with medical complications and, among adolescents, may also co-occur with high-risk behaviors. This first clinical report from the American Academy of Pediatrics on tattooing, piercing, and scarification discusses the history of these methods of body modification, educates the reader on methods used, reports on trends in associated adolescent and young adult risk behaviors, differentiates between nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) and body modifications, and educates the reader about how to anticipate and prevent potential medical complications. The report analyzes the literature about societal acceptance of people with body modifications and perceptions that

RESUMOEste estudo objetivou conhecer em que medida os valores explicam as atitudes frente à tatuagem e estas, por sua vez, predizem a intenção de tatuar-se. Participaram 263 estudantes universitários de João Pessoa, com idade média de 20,7 anos, a maioria homem (54,7%) e solteira (91%). Estes responderam a Escala de Atitudes frente à Tatuagem, o Questionário dos Valores Básicos e perguntas demográficas (idade, sexo, religiosidade). Os resultados indicaram atitudes dos participantes mais negativas frente à tatuagem, sobretudo aqueles de ciências exatas e naturais. Comprovou-se a adequação de um modelo triádico, onde os valores predisseram as atitudes frente à tatuagem e, estas, a intenção de tatuar-se. Especificamente, a subfunção normativa promoveu atitudes negativas frente à tatuagem, enquanto a subfunção experimentação favoreceu aquelas mais positivas. Conclui-se que as atitudes frente à tatuagem têm base valorativa, explicando a intenção de tatuar-se. Sugeriram-se pesquisas futuras que contribuam para explicar as atitudes frente à tatuagem.Palavras-chave: valores; atitudes; tatuagem; modificação corporal. ABSTRACTThis study investigated the extent to which values explain the attitudes towards tattoos and these, in turn, predict the intention of tattooing. Participants were 263 undergraduate students from João Pessoa (Brazil), with mean age of 20.7 years, mostly men (54.7%) and unmarried (91%). They answered the Attitudes toward Tattoo Scale, the Basic Values Survey and demographic questions (age, gender, and religiosity). Results indicated that the participants' attitudes toward tattooing were predominantly negatives, especially among students of natural and exact sciences. The adequacy of a triadic model was proved, where human values predicted attitudes toward tattooing and these, the intention of getting tattooed. Specifically, the value subfunction normative promoted negative attitudes toward tattooing, while the subfunction excitement favored more positive attitudes. In conclusion, attitudes toward tattooing have a value basis, accounting for people intention of getting tattooed. Future research is suggested to contribute on the explanation of attitudes toward tattooing.

“…Los tatuajes representan individualismo, confianza, aprecio, riesgo, preferencias sexuales, belleza, fantasía, libertad y sentido de ser único. Esto implica el establecimiento de una identidad personal, todavía en búsqueda para muchos adolescentes (4,5). La popularidad de los tatuajes se evidencia desde la infancia, con las calcomanías donde los niños pueden comparar y mostrar su última adquisición en sus pieles de forma temporal (6).…”
