Tattoos and body modifications have a significant role to play in the identification of individuals in a variety of forensic contexts. Despite this, little work has explicitly examined this topic. The aim of this study was to examine whether personal perception has an influence on the identification of tattoo images. A questionnaire was constructed containing a variety of tattoo images and distributed randomly, resulting in two hundred and eleven participant responses. The results indicated that the perception of tattoos has a high margin for error and interpretation. The conclusion of the study argues that a perception issue exists amongst individuals, however further work needs to be carried out to establish the degree of variation.
纹身和身体改造在各种法医鉴定情境中对个体识别起着重要作用。尽管如此，很少有研究明确探讨这个话题。本研究的目的是检验个人认知是否会对纹身图像的识别产生影响。我们编制了一份包含各种纹身图像的问卷并随机发放，共收到211份参与者的回复。结果表明，对纹身的认知存在很大的误差和解读差异。该研究的结论认为，个体之间存在认知问题，不过还需要进一步开展工作来确定差异程度。
