Tattoo do bem: o desenvolvimento de um manual de cuidados para tatuagens em período de cicatrização

Abstract

This study explores tattooing as an ancient cultural practice, present in various societies throughout history. Initially perceived as a symbol of marginalization in certain periods and cultures, tattooing has evolved into a form of art and personal expression. The tattooing process involves injecting pigments under the skin, and proper healing is crucial for both the final aesthetic result and the individual’s health. In this context, information design plays a key role in clearly and effectively communicating post-tattoo care instructions, ensuring that users follow the guidelines correctly. Throughout the study, principles of information design and visual communication were analyzed, demonstrating how the use of organized text and imagery can enhance understanding and accessibility. As a result, an illustrated tattoo aftercare manual was developed, accompanied by packaging, functional gifts, and an interactive promotional poster. The final material aims to be practical and visually appealing, promoting a more mindful experience for newly tattooed individuals.
