Comics tattoo as biographical object

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to understand Comics Tattoo as a biographical object that aims to preserve and communicate memory in different ways. To achieve this goal, we carried out a bibliographic review as well as interviews with people who have tattoos of this type and tattoo artists specialized in the genre. The indepth interviews allowed gaining access to the ways in which respondents attribute meanings to this type of sign and the relationships they establish with their life experiences. As a result, it was noticed that the interviewees share the same interest in the subject, but because of the story they want to tell, they use tattoos for different communication purposes.
