Tattoos are one way that people can construct their narrative identity. This study used a Consensual Qualitative Research design to explore if and how life-story constructs are evident in participants' tattoo narratives. Seven previously identified life-story constructs were adapted, using 17 core ideas to specify how the constructs were evident in the narratives participants shared about their tattoos. The tattoo narratives revealed interactive dynamics between life-story constructs.
