Generally speaking the tattoo is not a practice recognized as belonging to the artistic context, however, its characteristics and behavior of its materials as well as its support enable to relate its process with the process art. Each tattoo should be developed for a particular part of a particular person's body. Therefore, the process becomes specific and dependent on the properties of this body. External factors such as incidence of the sun, scars and artificial light on the tattooed area, as well as internal factors such as metabolism, cell regeneration etc. affect the tattoo constantly. Thus, it can be said that the tattoo is an ongoing process that undergoes changes until the complete destruction of its support, the skin. Reflecting on the tattoo as an open process, this research allows the establishment of relations between the tattoo process and process art. Thus two outstanding points will be developed: (i) moments in which contemporary artists and bioartistas used tattoos on his works and processes will be mapped; (Ii) by recording a theoretical and practical work called biotattoos the tattoo process will be shown and described. The biotattoos are abstract images chosen by the tattoo artist and adapted to fit a given region of the body of a specific person. These are tattoos designed to incorporate variables and changes in their structures during the procedure. The practical step allows to focus on the tattoo not as a finished object finalized in the skin, but rather in all its process.
