臺灣青少年網路「刺」文化之初探研究

Abstract

本研究旨在探究刺青在青少年中的意義，並分析刺青文化在青少年中的角色，以及調查社群媒體對刺青文化的影響。研究方法採立意取樣以及結構式訪談法，以青少年族群作為研究對象。依據研究探究，青少年刺青行為與網路社群媒體普及化有一定相互作用的影響，因此，為了確保研究的深度和可行性，研究者將場域鎖定臺灣北部某所大學，取10名大學生為研究對象進行訪談。本研究結果發現： 一、刺青的多重意義：綜觀文獻分析以及訪談結果，刺青在不同的人心裡代表著不同的意涵，選擇刺青圖案與個性表達之間存在密切的關聯，顯示刺青不僅是一種外在的裝飾，更是一種內心世界的體現，除了社會上的正反兩面解讀，刺青實是一種生命歷程、亦是一種選擇、更是微觀社會的呈現。 二、刺青文化在青少年中的角色：透過本研究歸納整理，群體歸屬已非當代青少年刺青訴求，原因是刺青者的認同轉變，除了刺青場域的變換，也包含社群媒體的快速運轉，默默地在潛移默化著每一位使用者。 三、社群媒體對刺青文化的影響：網絡場域對刺青文化的推廣來說，有著大功勞，全球無時差、無空間限制地將刺青文化默默地散播著，加上網絡之間的串流合作形式，透過廣告推播以及互聯網大數據影響，青少年也於不自覺間橫跨遊走於多種社群媒體平台，主動（又或許是被動）地瀏覽自己有興趣的主題，無形中增加刺青的受眾。This research study explores the significance of tattoos among Taiwan youth, analyzes the role of tattoo culture in this demographic, and examines the influence of social media on tattoo culture.The research methods included purposive sampling, document analysis, and interviews with Taiwan youth as the subjects. The study found that Taiwan youth' choice to get tattoos is influenced by online communities. To gather data on perceptions of various aspects of tattooing, the researcher conducted interviews with 10 college students at a university in northern Taiwan, using a convenience sampling method. The study also included the perspective of tattoo artists in the interview process to document and analyze the participants' reactions.

1. The multiple meanings of tattoos: The analysis of literature and interview results revealed that tattoos hold different meanings for different people. There is a close connection between the choice of tattoo patterns and personal expression, indicating that tattoos are not just an external decoration, but also a reflection of one's inner world. In addition to the varied societal interpretations, tattooing is seen as a life process, a choice, and a presentation of the micro-society.

2. The role of tattoo culture among Taiwan youth: The study revealed that group belonging is no longer the primary motivator for contemporary Taiwan youth seeking tattoos. This shift is attributed to changes in the identity of tattooists and the rapid influence of social media on every user.

3. The impact of social media on tattoo culture: The Internet field has played a great role in promoting tattoo culture. Tattoo culture is spread silently around the world without time differences andspace restrictions, coupled with the streaming between networks In the form of cooperation, through advertising and the influence of Internet big data, young people are also unconsciously travelling across a variety of social media platforms, actively (or perhaps passively) browsing topics of interest to them, which invisibly increases Tattoo audience.
