Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Corporeality is an important element of the self structure. Tattoos have been associated with self-esteem, identity diffusion, and aggression.PARTICIPANTS AND PROCEDURE: Convicted modified (n = 78; 78.8%) and non-modified men (n = 21; 21.2%) completed the following research tools: the Aggression Severity Scale from the Inventory of Personality Organization (IPO), the Group Identification Scale, the Identity Fusion Scale, a measure of identity fusion, and an agency scale.
RESULTS: Body modifications were a weak predictor (5%) of aggression intensity among male prisoners. About 20% of the study participants, regardless of having a body modification, presented aggression characterized by severe personality pathology.
CONCLUSIONS: Nowadays, body modifications should not be treated as an indicator of severe psychopathology and more aggressive relations with others, including among convicted men. In prisoners who presented high levels of aggression, identity diffusion was observed and treated as a form of adaptation, characteristic for borderline personality integration.

摘要：
背景：身体现实是自我结构的重要元素。纹身与自尊有关,身份扩散，和侵略。参与者和程序：被定罪的修改（n=78;78.8％）和未修改的男性（n=21;21.2％）完成了以下研究工具：来自人格组织清单（IPO）的攻击严重程度量表，群体识别量表，身份融合量表，身份融合的度量，和机构规模。
结果：身体修饰是男性囚犯攻击强度的弱预测因子（5％）。大约20%的研究参与者，不管是否有身体修饰，表现出侵略的特征是严重的人格病理学。
结论：如今，身体修饰不应被视为严重的精神病理学和与他人更具侵略性关系的指标，包括被定罪的人。在表现出高度攻击性的囚犯中，身份扩散被观察到并被视为一种适应形式，边缘人格整合的特征。
