POPSRole of Tattoos in Construction of Personal Identity "We continue to be struck by rapid and unpredictable change," Murray said. "Some theorists talk it about in terms of postmodernism, which is one way of saying that our culture has become fractured.

They downshift, upgrade, change their hair, body, clothes, car, house, career, geographic location and even family. The result is a loss of personal anchors needed for identity. We found that tattoos provide this anchor. Their popularity reflects a need for stability, predictability, permanence and identity."
