Our Voices, Our Findings
What are Tattoos?
Tattoos are more than ink on skin, they are a form of expression, identity, and memory. For many, tattoos mark personal milestones, honor loved ones, or simply serve as art that one chooses to carry.
History of Tattoos
Tattooing has existed for over 5,000 years and involves inserting pigment into the skin to create permanent designs. The term “tattoo” comes from Polynesian and Tahitian words meaning “to strike” or “to mark.”
Ink and Intention
The meaning behind a tattoo varies from person to person. Some individuals use body art as a therapeutic response to navigating identity, social norms, loss, grief, trauma, and more.
