It was analyzed the information through the tattoo and the perception that the tattooed subjects have from the enunciations of their tattoos. Starting from a qualitative and descriptive approach in relation to the intended objectives, the research approached the information movement in a totally dynamic society articulated with other informational elements that corroborate the creation of the tattoo. It was necessary an understanding about information, language, image and tattoo to understand this register considered temporal. For data collection, we used the interview with tattooed subjects from the city of Salvador - Bahia. The discourse analysis had the purpose of verifying the answers and considering the perception that the subjects have from the utterances tattooed on their skin, as previously mentioned.The research found that the tattoo proves to be a set of information from living and social contexts, a work of art, and also evidenced the existence of prejudice around this “art in skin”. Thus, the research aimed to broaden the study of the information object beyond conventional supports and thus strengthen the consolidation of Information Science.
