U.S. Colleges Use Tattoos to Teach Cultural Diversity

In the United States, several colleges are introducing courses that use tattoos to teach about cultural diversity and personal expression. Students study tattoo traditions from Native American tribes, Polynesian cultures, and modern street art.

Guest speakers from the health sector also explain the medical risks of unsafe tattooing, encouraging students to prioritize hygiene and professional standards.

Educators say the program bridges art, history, and health, helping young people understand tattoos as both a creative outlet and a cultural practice
