AbstractThis book explores in detail the meaning behind tattoos, through a journey into the past and the symbolism of this ancient art. Tattoos, perhaps one of the oldest forms of communication and body art, have had and still have different meanings. From healing powers to the identification of criminals, through different myths and beliefs, or simply as a form of recognition and affirmation of belonging to a group, tattoos remain one of the most characteristic means of expression associated with sailors, soldiers, organized crime, gangs and urban tribes, but also a form of body adornment and expression of a lifestyle, a philosophy or a belief that unites multitudes of people. Through a clear and intelligent exposition, this volume reveals the meaning of tattoos, a form of expression that has survived the passage of time unscathed and which even today explains a lot about the person who chooses it. After all, a tattoo is more than just a drawing on the skin, it's a statement of intent. From designs dating back to the dawn of civilization to contemporary designs, each tattoo hides a story that this book is eager to reveal.
