Tattoos by Socionics Type

[redbaron]

Are they Fi and Se? Fe and Si? Si and Te? Or not type-related, lol

Of the people you know who have tattoos (major ones, not wimpy little ankles or tiny stars on your shoulder), what type are they?

Go.

I just realized I don't know anyone with major tattoos.

People who get tattoos everywhere fascinate me because I would never. I probably only would if I somehow encountered some symbol that meant everything to me to the extent that I want it permanently marking me which would be a rather serious situation of the kind I just don't see likely in my life. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to make up my mind about what kind of tattoo to get to begin with and then it would just be getting a tattoo for the sake of having a tattoo... so it really is interesting when people just get a new tattoo every two seconds. Well, I suppose that's a little neurotic of them. But I didn't mean to be solely talking about such people since the beginning of this post. Mainly tattoos on others are often fascinating to me (though it does of course depend on the who and what of it and all so not that I can really make any kind of blanket statement about it and wouldn't mean to give such an impression) and something that I'd just be very hesitant to do myself largely because I don't have a reason to. Of course that it's so permanent might bother me in and of itself. I think that some tattoos speak to moments of idiocy especially when later one wishes they'd never gotten that particular tattoo in the first place. And I change my mind frequently enough that I can't really see myself being happy with a fixed thing like that on me, of course I could possibly just ignore it entirely and just not even care. As I don't care now because it doesn't matter. I think I like Henna better as then I can just doodle all over myself and it will fade in a bit.

Anyway I'm sure people's tattoos could say something about their type, it all depends of course.

I know a lot of people of various types with tattoos.

I like the huge artistic ones, but I don't like how they age. So I'm not going to get one.

If anything, I think that many SLEs and SEEs have tattoos. And I have also heard that, in the ancient times, warriors used to have tattoos. So, perhaps SLEs and SEEs made good warriors then, so that custom has "survived" within their subconscious mind...or something like that.

Se egos were the first ppl to get tattoos, underage. iirc most of the people ive seen with tattoos have been Se egos or xIEs

A large (N = 1375; 873 women, 502 men) sample of college students completed measures of demograph-
ics, body modification (i.e., tattoos and body piercings), and measures of the Big Five personality traits,
social desirability, and need for uniqueness. Tattooed participants, as compared to their non-tattooed
counterparts, scored significantly lower on agreeableness and conscientiousness and significantly higher
on need for uniqueness. Body pierced participants, as compared to their non-pierced counterparts, scored
significantly lower on conscientiousness and significantly higher on openness to experience. Although
statistically significant, these relationships explain very small amounts of variance and most likely reflect
inconsequential real world differences between those with and without these two forms of body modi-
fication. Our findings suggest caution when attributing psychopathology to adults who possess tattoos
and/or body piercings.

Research supports personality differences between tattooed and non-tattooed individuals. However, few studies have investigated whether any of these differences are associated with positive indicators for tattooed individuals. In this study, personality differences between tattooed and non-tattooed individuals in three of the Big Five personality areas considered critical to successful employees in the workforce were examined. Previous research has established that higher levels of conscientiousness and extraversion coupled with lower levels of neuroticism are indicators of high-quality employees. The present study attempts to augment this line of research by adding the dimension of tattoos; investigating whether individuals with tattoos report more positive personality indicators in these dimensions than individuals without tattoos. Thus it was hypothesized that tattooed individuals would report higher levels of conscientiousness and extraversion and lower levels of neuroticism than non-tattooed individuals. For this purpose, N = 521 individuals completed an online survey, which included the 44-Question Big Five Inventory. An independent sample t-test revealed a statistically significant difference between tattooed (M = 3.41, SD = 0.77) and non-tattooed (M = 3.21, SD = 0.83) groups in the Big Five personality area of extraversion, t (521) = 0.39, p = .004, d = 0.25. There were no other statistically significant differences. These findings indicate that tattooed individuals may be better employees than previously believed, as the extraversion component of the Big Five Inventory, has been found to be a critical indicator of successful job performance.

Just two papers that I found from a quick search. Others could search for more if interested.

I don't have tattoos but I've always admired this art. I really love Japanese style Tattoos, not only the esthetic but also the traditional methodology. When I look at some traditional Yakuza tattoos I'm just amazed. I like those "Ink shows" and all those great Tattoo Artists.
Anyway, If I could I would have my chinese astrological sign Tattooed in my back. But alas 1) I'm Broke and 2) I don't like needles !!

I was intending to cover my left hand in snake skin tattoo, didn't have money, then forget about it, and so on. It would be cool, I suppose, but I don't see the point of a tattoo anymore like in my 20s.

who are you, pied piper? I wish people would stop changing their usernames!

I was thinking the same thing, dolphin! Fi because you have to know what you like without any wavering and Se because it's pain done to your body which requires a bold decision.

[Creepy-female]

TATTOOS ARE MY TYPE BECAUSE I LIKE THEM!!!!

[Creepy-female]

They're Fi because they're permanent and Se because they make a bold statement on the person's physical body. And I'm so going to get one.
