Tattooing, as well as piercing, is a type of body modification that has been gaining ground in contemporary societies. This cultural insertion comes tied to a new valuation of the tattoo as an object of art. It gains and advance new contours of existence within the West and ends up triggering a new world logic. At the same time that it transforms and assumes a new westernized outfit, it is little studied and divulged in your differences ways of be, leaving aside a possible contribution to the aesthetic and cultural understanding of diverse human groups spread around the world and the cultural conflicts that have followed colonialism and globalization. The objectives of the work is: understand some forms of tattooing in groups that practice it, showing the complexity of this ritual practice that accompanies us since time immemorial (and can tell a lot about ours relate even today) and observe the transformations in the valuation of the tattoo as art form and the possible motivations and effects of this relationship. Having said this, from an interpretive anthropological approach, the tradition of tattoos of the Maori and iban will be analyzed, considering the cultural, historical and pictographic aspects of these, later using political anthropology, decolonial studies and discursive constructions as a critical point for analysis.
