Schools in India are introducing tattoo awareness sessions as part of cultural and health education. Students learn how tattoos have existed in India for centuries, from tribal communities in Nagaland and Odisha to henna traditions used in festivals and weddings.
Alongside the cultural lessons, doctors and health workers explain the risks of unsafe tattooing, stressing the need for sterile tools and professional care. Temporary tattoos are also being used in classrooms to make learning interactive and engaging.
Educators say the initiative helps students connect with heritage and modern safety practices, making tattoos both a history lesson and a health topic.
