PEREZ FONSECA, ANDREA LISSETT. TATTOED BODIES, TATTOED "SOULS": NEW FORMS OF SUBJECTIVITY IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2009, vol.45, n.1, pp.69-94. ISSN 0486-6525.

This article presents an ethnographic description of the contemporary tattooing practices from a conceptual perspective that prioritizes it’s meaning, the interactions and the lived experiences while being tattooed. This reflection attempts to reconstruct a holistic practice of tattoo that comprises the subjective world of actors as well as the related social dynamics. The main conclusions are: The emergence of a new aesthetic and lived "normalcy" at the heart of Western society and the configuration of a new subjectivity of those who are tattooed, as an interactive, innovative, emotional and reflexive process in which the body turns into a form of expression and a construction of the subject.

Palavras-chave : tattoo; body; subjectivity; individuality.
