Body art: application and perception of Tattoos in selected Tattoo Parlors in Uganda.
Abstract
Tattoos are common in Uganda today; however, tattooed persons may be perceived as having more
negative character and as more deviant than people without tattoos. (Perception of tattoos: now
and then, 2014) Tattooed targets, especially women, are rated as stronger and more independent
than men, the stigma associated with tattoos appears to still exist, despite the prevalence of tattoos
in modern culture today in Kampala.
