5 distinct ways that getting a tattoo can help survivors cope with trauma
led by Laura Crompton of Tel Aviv University suggests that it can. More specifically, Crompton and her team sought to better understand how getting a tattoo can be a viable method to cope with trauma and to give meaning to a difficult experience.
What did the researchers' analysis reveal? Getting a tattoo helped survivors cope with trauma, and it gave meaning to their experience in five distinct ways. The following is a summary of the team’s findings.Some survivors felt that their trauma left invisible wounds, and thus they felt that they had to “prove” to others that it existed at all. One participant remarked, “When you lose a hand or a leg, people see you. In my case, it’s something that’s hiding inside.
"Without even saying a word to anyone, just by showing this, being at a pool somewhere, they’re going to come up and they’re going to know and they’re going to think of 9-11 and it will stay in their consciousness."Exhibiting a tattoo also helped survivors make deeper connections and give meaning when interacting with others.
