●内容简介——

纹身，也许是古老的交流或人体艺术形式之一，曾经并仍然具有不同的意义。从治疗能力到识别罪犯，通过神话和不同的信仰，或者仅仅作为一种识别和肯定群体归属的形式，纹身是与水手、士兵、有组织犯罪、帮派或城市部落有关的具特色的表达方式之一，同时也是一种身体装饰和表达一种生活方式、哲学或许多人的信仰。

通过清晰、有洞察力的文字，该出版物揭开了纹身的意义，这些纹身在时间的流逝中一直存在，即使在今天，也能解释很多关于穿纹身的人。毕竟，纹身不仅仅是皮肤上的图画；它是一种意图的声明。从可以追溯到文明初期的图画到当代的设计，每个纹身都有一个隐藏的故事，本书渴望揭示这些故事。

Tattoos, perhaps one of the oldest forms of communication or body art, have had and still have different meanings. From healing powers to the identification of criminals, through myths and different beliefs or simply as a form of identification and affirmation of group belonging, tattoos are one of the most characteristic means of expression associated with sailors, soldiers, organized crime, gangs or urban tribes, as well as being a form of body adornment and expression of a lifestyle, philosophy or many people's beliefs.

By way of a clear, insightful text, this publication unveils the meaning of the tattoos that have lived on through the passage of time and that, even today, explain a lot about the person who wears them. After all, a tattoo is much more than a drawing on the skin; it’s a declaration of intent. From drawings that date back to the dawn of civilization to contemporary designs, each tattoo has a hidden story that this book is eager to reveal.
