Abstract
The act of tattooing can be considered as a reflective and expressive creative process, which refers to creative writing (CW). Here, we attempt to connect tattooing with creative writing, focusing on the common elements that exist between them. Two investigations take place: one concerns the investigation of the role of tattooing in defining a person"s identity, and the second investigates the role of tattooing in the self-healing of individuals who have experienced a traumatic experience. In the first, ten people who have tattoos participate and answer semi-structured research questions, while in the second, specialist psychologists participate, who, through open interviews, convey the lived experiences of six of their "patients" with trauma management problems. Research findings confirm the connection between tattooing and creative writing, understood as a reflective and expressive creative process of externalizing one"s interiority with positive results for the same.
