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 in- depth 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.
