Cuerpos marcados : "tatuaje" el lenguaje de la piel , hacia una nueva interpretación fuera del estigma

Abstract

This research was born from a personal experience that marked for life the skin of my body filling it with color, experiences and beyond this representations of who I am today. It's been more than six years since I was recommended by an old friend to go to Store Tattoo located in the Chapinero district in the city of Bogota. I remember very well that at that time, this friend with whom I was studying had done a tattoo on his back, this had a tribal1 shape, which caused me a concern that captivated me deeply and this was to know how my friend had obtained the recognition of all in the salon. Even though we were teenagers and minors, it was to be expected that society would be somewhat astonished by this fact, since it was said that the pain was unbearable and that it was only for strong people of legal age. It was there where I understood that the only way to prove that I felt this was to transgress the taboo that had been imposed on this practice at that time. I decided to get my first tattoo, since then six years have passed, what I never imagined was how this would change my life, influencing the perception that others have about me.
