Adolescence is a phase of great physical, emotional and social transformations that human beings go through in the transition from childhood to adulthood. During this period, bodily changes and the maturation of emotions occur, which can cause difficulties in understanding on the part of adolescents. Body image, which is constructed at this stage of life, is one of the most worrying elements among adolescents, who try to follow the standards spread among their peers. This article presents some aspects of the evolution of adolescents, the influences on the formation of their body image and practices of modifying their appearance (tattoos and piercings), as well as suggestions so that those responsible for adolescents' health care can understand these conditions and act effectively in welcoming and guiding these individuals.
