          Abstract

          Abstract In cinema, many visual characteristics of the characters serve as «unspoken» elements that allow the audience to attribute (rightly or wrongly) these characteristics without the need to use superfluous verbal information: clothes, hairstyles, scars, prostheses, physical defects, etc. Tattoos are obviously part of this visual panel. Tattoos may be the central theme of the movie, allow to give one or more attribute to the character, have a real function in the movie or simply has an aesthetic role of beautification. The prevalence of actors and actress with tattoos is unknown. However, some actors may display their tattoos for the purpose of the movie.

          Translated abstract

          Resumen En el cine, muchas características visuales de los personajes sirven como elementos «tácitos» que permiten al público atribuir (con razón o sin ella) estas características sin necesidad de utilizar información verbal superflua: ropa, peinados, cicatrices, prótesis, defectos físicos, etc. Los tatuajes forman parte, obviamente, de este panel visual. Los tatuajes pueden ser el tema central de la película, permiten dar uno o más atributos al personaje, tienen una función real en la película o simplemente tienen un papel estético de embellecimiento. Se desconoce la prevalencia de actores y actrices con tatuajes. Sin embargo, algunos actores pueden mostrar sus tatuajes con el propósito de la película.
