“…Američko istraživanje pokazalo je da su osobe s tetovažama koje pristupaju američkoj vojsci sklonije konzumaciji većih količina alkohola, pušenju cigareta, ali i rizičnom ponašanju kao što je vožnja s vozačem pod utjecajem alkohola (23). Povišena impulzivnost i rizično ponašanje nađeni su u vojnika s tetovažama i u toj skupini više je bolesnika dijagnosticirano s antisocijalnim poremećajem ličnosti u usporedbi s vojnicima bez tetovaža (24,25).…”

“…S druge strane, ima istraživača koji pokazuju da je tetovira-like riding in a car driven by a person under the influence of alcohol (23). Increased impulsiveness and risky behaviour have been identified in soldiers with tattoos, and the same group contained more patients diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder than the group of soldiers without tattoos (24,25).…”

Od početka vremena čovjek, kao misaono biće, ima potrebu ostavljati i odašiljati poruke drugim ljudima, bilo u obliku spiljskih crteža, kipova ili otisaka na svojoj koži. Kako će poruka koju prenosi izgledati u očima primaoca i hoće li je on htjeti prihvatiti kao takvu, u tom trenutku čovjek ne može znati. Čovjekova potreba za ostavljanjem traga nije stala na spiljskim slikarijama, već je svoje strahove, vjerovanja i ideale želio utkati u nešto više, nešto najvrjednije što postoji, a to je on sam. Otkrivši tehniku tetoviranja, njegovo tijelo postaje nositelj slike i teksta, a tetovaže svjedok načina života koji je živio. Tetoviranje, kao kulturna praksa i jedan od oblika tjelesnih modifikacija, zabilježeno je na svim stranama svijeta te datira još iz Brončanoga doba i nastavlja se sve do današnjice u raznim područjima ljudskoga djelovanja. Tetovaža je svjesna tjelesna modifikacija nastala pod utjecajem okoline i kulture u kojoj se individuum nalazi. U ovom radu opisan je bolesnik s brojnim tetovažama po tijelu njihovo značenje u bolesnikom životu te zatvorenički dani na Golom otoku. Možemo reći da su tetovaže način na koji neke osobe drugima dopuštaju da vide što oni misle, osjećaju ili kako doživljavaju sami sebe. / Since the beginning of time, man has, as a thinking creature, felt the urge to leave and transmit messages to others, whether in the form of cave drawings, statues, or prints on his skin. At the moment of sending a message, one cannot know how the message will appear to the eyes of the recipient or whether they will want to accept it as such. Man's need to leave traces did not end with cave paintings, and he wished to weave his fears, beliefs, and ideals into something more, something of utmost value, which is man himself. Having discovered the technique of tattooing, his body became the bearer of image and text, and his tattoos evidence of the way he had lived his life. As a cultural practice and one of the forms of body modification, tattooing has been found in all parts of the world and dates from the Bronze Age, continuing until today in various fields of human activity. A tattoo is a conscious modification of the body created under the influence of an individual's surroundings and culture. This paper describes a patient with numerous tattoos, their meaning in the patient's life, and the days of imprisonment spent on Goli otok. We can say that tattoos are a way in which certain people allow others insight into what they think, feel, or how they perceive themselves.

“…9 Significantly more residential psychiatric patients with tattoos had personality disorders compared to patients without tattoos. 12 Tattoos have historically been associated with various sociodemographic characteristics and risky health behaviors. 13 For example, tattoos are linked with being male, 14 illicit drug use, 15,16 tobacco use, 13 alcohol and marijuana use, 17 binge drinking, 13,15 underlying psychopathological disorder, 18 military service, 19 engaging in earlier and/or more frequent sexual activity with a greater number of partners, 15,[20][21][22] gang-related activity, 23 and being arrested.…”

Background Tattoos have reached broadening mainstream acceptance. Medical professional societies have noted that tattoos may co‐occur with high risk behaviors. Methods Using a variety of statistical models applied to a sample of 2,008 adults residing in the United States via Amazon's Mechanical Turk, we estimate the associations between tattoo characteristics, three health‐related outcomes (overall health status, ever diagnosed with a mental health issue, sleep problems), and three risky behaviors (current smoking, ever spent time in jail or prison, and number of sex partners). Results We find that the presence, number, and specific features of tattoos are positively correlated with two of the health‐related outcomes (ever diagnosed with a mental health issue and trouble sleeping) and all three of the risky behaviors (P < .05). Magnitudes are larger for those with multiple, visible, and offensive tattoos. Conclusions Our results suggest that individuals with tattoos are more likely to engage in risky behaviors relative to their non‐tattooed counterparts, which may lead to health consequences. Dermatologists, healthcare providers, and public health advocates should recognize that having a tattoo(s) is a potential marker for mental health issues and risky behaviors.

“…Khosla, Joseph, and Gordon (2010) noted that tattoos are more common in those who have psychiatric problems and who come into contact with mental health services. Cardasis, Huth-Bocks, and Silk (2008) found that patients in a forensic psychiatric unit with a diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder were more likely to have tattoos than other patients. Piercings and tattoos are often correlated with high-risk activities in college populations (Burger, 2002).…”
