Why do we get tattoos?

There is an idea of enhancing and beautifying one’s appearance, “correcting” a physical image that one finds imperfect. Tattoos have made it possible to “create new skin” in order to accommodate this body. It is a personal rite of passage and holds strong symbolic significance. Therefore, some of my interviewees said they felt much more identified with their new image.
