Thesis entitled Tattoo - History and Development consists of theoretical and practical work. The purpose of the research is to present the development of tattoos through history, to the present day.
In the first part, I described the historical and geographical characteristics of traditional permanent body paintings around the world. I compared the word stigma with the word tattoo and I found out that there is a great connection between them.
I analyzed the development of tattoo techniques, methods and technology.
In today's, modern times, people are still stigmatized because of tattoos, which is why I dedicated a special chapter to the stigma of tattooing and explained why people get tattooed and what is the symbolism of tattooed motifs.
In the second part, I artistically analyzed my own works.
The main purpose of the diploma thesis is to present the history and development of tattooing, the characteristics of individual nations and the development of technique and technology. Art-theoretical analysis of my own works, however, contributed to a better understanding of my creation and my personal expression.
