1974年，法国第一位专业纹身师c·布鲁诺（C. Bruno）写了一本书，名为《纹身，安静？》，描绘了他在巴黎风景如画的皮加勒旅游区做纹身师的经历。然而，从那时起，我们已经走过了漫长的道路。纹身在西方国家获得了极大的知名度、恶名和知名度。在德国，8.5%的人口（年龄在14岁到90岁之间）有纹身。在法国、芬兰和澳大利亚也发现了类似的趋势，这些国家大约10%的人口至少有一个纹身。然而，在海外和欧洲，纹身的总体流行率甚至更高，尤其是在年轻人中，根据该国的数据，这一比例高达15-25%。关于纹身者和纹身师的文章很多。然而，他们现在是谁？是什么促使他们纹身和纹身？他们如何看待自己？为什么有些人会去掉纹身？有纹身者的“侧面”吗？他们真的是“冒险者”吗？没有纹身的人是怎么看待他们的呢？通过对文献的批判性回顾，我们将从流行病学的角度重新考虑纹身，挑战当前的信念，并探索纹身艺术家及其客户的动机和恐惧的新见解。(C) 2015 S.

In 1974, the first professional French tattooist C. Bruno wrote a book, entitled 'Tatoues, quietes-vous?', depicting his experience as a tattooist in the picturesque Pigalle tourist district of Paris. However, we have come a long way since then. Tattooing has gained tremendous visibility, notoriety and popularity in Western countries. In Germany, 8.5% of the population ( aged between 14 and 90 years) has a tattoo. Similar trends have been found in France, Finland and Australia, where approximately 10% of the populations have at least one tattoo. However, the overall tattoo prevalences overseas and in Europe are even higher, especially among the youth, for whom it is up to 15-25% according to the country. Much has been written about the tattooed and tattooists. However, who are they currently? What motivates them to get tattooed and give tattoos? How do they see themselves? Why do some individuals remove their tattoos? Is there a 'profile' of the tattooed? Are they really 'risk takers'? And how do the nontattooed perceive them? Through a critical review of the literature, we will reconsider tattooing from an epidemiological aspect, challenge current beliefs and explore new insights into the motivations and fears of tattoo artists and their clients.
