Body modifications consist in changing the appearance. They gain more and more popularity. The most popular forms of body modification are tattooing and piercing. The aim of the study is a longitudinal assessment of the prevalence of body modifications in the form of tattoos and piercings among students of pharmacy at the Medical University of Lublin and their knowledge about the possible complications of such interventions. The study was conducted using a validated questionnaire. The study with the participation of first-year pharmacy students was conducted in 2017, and with the participation of sixth-year pharmacy students in 2022. Participation in the study was voluntary and anonymous. The respondents approved the modification in the form of piercings in the ears to the greatest extent, and invasive body modifications to the least extent. The percentage of people having body modifications has not changed significantly over time, but their awareness of the possible complications of such procedures has increased. Piercings and tattoos, in the opinion of pharmacy students, are not stigmatizing. The knowledge of future pharmacists about the possible complications of piercing and tattooing increases with the duration of their studies.

Modyfikacje ciała polegają na zmianie wyglądu. Zdobywają coraz większą popularność. Najpopularniejszymi formami modyfikacji ciała są tatuaże i piercing. Celem pracy jest longitudinalna ocena rozpowszechnienia modyfikacji ciała w postaci tatuaży i kolczyków wśród studentów farmacji Uniwersytetu Medycznego w Lublinie oraz ich wiedzy na temat możliwych powikłań takich interwencji. Badanie przeprowadzono za pomocą zwalidowanego kwestionariusza. Badanie z udziałem studentów pierwszego roku farmacji przeprowadzono w 2017 r., a z udziałem studentów szóstego roku farmacji w 2022 r. Udział w badaniu był dobrowolny i anonimowy. Ankietowani w największym stopniu aprobowali modyfikację w postaci przekłuwania uszu, a w najmniejszym inwazyjne modyfikacje ciała. Odsetek osób poddawanych modyfikacjom ciała nie zmienił się istotnie w czasie, ale wzrosła ich świadomość co do możliwych powikłań takich zabiegów. Kolczyki i tatuaże w opinii studentów farmacji nie są stygmatyzujące. Wiedza przyszłych farmaceutów na temat możliwych powikłań przekłuwania i tatuowania zwiększa się wraz z długością studiów.

Celem badania było ustalenie, czy tatuaż ma wpływ na mapę temperaturową ciała i jak długo ten efekt się utrzymuje. Obecnie nie ma wystarczających informacji związanych z dokładnym wpływem wykonania tatuażu, przyczynami i czasem utrzymywania się zmian temperaturowych powierzchni ciała [1]. Dynamika takich zmian i ich amplituda może świadczyć o procesie gojenia tkanek lub infekcji, co może mieć znaczenie dla szybkiej reakcji farmakologicznej. Badanie termowizyjne ramienia wykonano 3 dni przed, a także 3 i 10 dni po wykonaniu tatuażu. Porównanie średniej temperatury powierzchniowej badanych obszarów pokazało znaczące różnice między tymi obszarami. Po upływie 3 dni od wykonania tatuażu, średnia temperatura obszaru nienaruszonej skóry wynosiła 30,4°C, natomiast obszar pokryty tatuażem 35,8°C. Różnica temperatury dla tych obszarów wyniosła 5,4°C. Wraz z gojeniem się skóry różnica temperatury zmniejszała się i efekt zapalny zanikał. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań można wywnioskować, że wykonanie tatuażu powoduje wzrost temperatury skóry podobny do ostrej reakcji zapalnej. Ponadto efekt utrzymuje się, choć maleje aż do 10 dnia od zabiegu.

The aim of the study was to determine whether tattooing affects the body’s temperature map and how long this effect persists. Currently, there is insufficient information related to the exact impact of tattooing, the causes, and the duration of temperature changes on the body surface [1]. The dynamics of such changes and their amplitude may indicate the process of tissue healing or infection, which may be important for a rapid pharmacological response. Thermal imaging of the arm was performed 3 days before, as well as 3 and 10 days after tattooing. A comparison of the mean surface temperature of the examined areas showed significant differences between the areas. 3 days after tattooing, the mean temperature of the intact skin area was 30.4°C, while that of the tattooed area was 35.8°C. The temperature difference for these areas was 5.4°C. As the skin healed, the temperature difference decreased, and the inflammatory effect disappeared. Based on the study, it can be concluded that tattooing causes an increase in skin temperature like an acute inflammatory reaction. In addition, the effect persists, although it decreases until the 10th day after the procedure.

Objectives The data regarding the health of professional tattooists is inexistent. Tattooists are usually heavily tattooed and exposed daily to body fluids and skin-to-skin contacts with customers, tattoo inks, solvents, allergens, irritants, and work for hours often in inadequate positions using vibrating tattoo machines. We analyzed the health status of active French professional tattooists. Material and Methods An observational self-reported Internet survey was performed among 448 tattooists who were members of the French Tattoo Union in November 2013. Results The main physical complaints were musculoskeletal: back pain (65%), finger pain (41.5%) and muscular pain (28.8%). Finger pain, back pain, muscular pain and carpal tunnel symptoms/tingling sensations on the fingers occurred among 88%, 61.5%, 68% and 84% of the cases after having started their activity (p < 0.001). Other chronic diseases, autoimmune diseases and cancers remained at a low level here. Conclusions Professional tattooists have a high prevalence of musculoskeletal complaints about back pain due to repetitive movements, awkward postures and use of a vibrating tattoo machine. Tattooists have a unique environment that imply developing intervention and preventive strategies for them. Int J Occup Med Environ Health 2017;30(1):111–120

Occupational exposures to environmental toxicants have been associated with the onset of skin lesions-including cancers. Identification and reduction of exposure to such compounds is an important public health goal. We examined the effect of cashew shell oil (CSO), used in skin tattooing for its potential to induce skin transformation in rats. Corn oil and CSO (25, 50, and 100%) were topically applied to depilated sections of Wistar' rat skin (groups: I-IV) for six weeks. Effect of treatments on serum transaminases activity, histological changes in hepatocytes and induction of micronuclei in the bone marrow were examined. In addition, CSO-induced hepatocyte proliferation was also quantified. All animals survived the course of the study. Reduced percentage change in body weight and physical trauma were observed in CSO-treated rat. The effects were more prominent in Group IV (100% CSO). Relative liver weights and number of hepatocytes (cells/mm2) increased significantly in groups II-IV relative to control (p < 0.05). Serum transaminases activities were not significantly (p > 0.05) affected in treated groups. Hepatic histopathology revealed moderate sinusoidal congestion (group II), in addition to portal congestion in (group III), with mononuclear cellular infiltration (group IV) animals. In addition, CSO induced significant micronuclei formation of polychromatic erythrocyte (mPCEs) in the rat bone marrow (p < 0.05) when compared with control. Topical application of CSO disrupted skin cells integrity resulting in physical trauma. In addition, CSO appears to be clastogenic and induces hepatocyte proliferation. Occupational exposure to CSO especially for engraving tattoos in humans should be discouraged and further studies need to be conducted.

The aim of my article is to examine tattoo acquisition in the context of an emerging individualized society in contemporary Poland. The theoretical framework of my project will be the widespread sociological conception of individualization process according to which structural and cultural changes – specific to late modernity – are dissembedding individuals from traditional frames of reference, giving them unprecedented scope of freedom, but simultaneously making them responsible for shaping their own identity. Referring to empirical data gathered during my research, I will try to show the role played by tattoo acquisition in the broader process of identity formation. I will distinguish two main moments of identity work: the moment of expression, where tattoo acquisition serves as a tool enabling individuals to articulate and express their own identity, and the performative moment, where tattoo acquisitions enables them to shape and negotiate their identity. In this article I will focus on two different aspects of identity work oriented towards self-creation: on creative transformation and aestetization of one’s own body and on negotiation of personal freedom and agency mediated by tattooing.
