This research explored the meanings of tattoos to various participants and provides insight into the complex emotional processes that led them to obtain tattoos. This exploration was achieved through interviews with this researcher, where she asked participants questions about their tattoos and the specific meanings they associate with them. The questions centered on the theme of identity and yielded some quantitative demographic data and narrative qualitative data discussing the meanings behind their tattoos. Concept mapping analysis was utilized in this study to better understand and make meaning out of the narrative qualitative data. This methodology allows for finding similarities and differences between data items and is a helpful tool for making sense of the narrative data participants provided. The photovoice method adds to this process as it allows participants to better comprehend the responses people gave. In this study, 51 participants engaged in Phase I interviewing and provided quantitative and qualitative data, and 48 provided pictures of their tattoos as requested by this researcher. Subsequently, 11 people participated in Phase II and sorted tattoo pictures based on their meanings, generated and discussed a concept map, and discussed the findings with each other to better develop the meanings of the tattoos and the study as a whole. The final map consisted of eight clusters decided by the participants that best represent the categories of meanings of tattoos in this study. The findings revealed unique reasons for getting tattoos while having a connecting factor of helping the recipients feel connected to their identities. This connection is crucial when thinking of the development of the self from a self psychology perspective. The findings highlight the complex nature of tattoos and tattooing and how deep meaning can be under the surface.
