In Berlin, Germany, universities are integrating tattoos into medical education programs. Dermatology students are being trained to study how tattoo ink interacts with human skin, learning about potential allergic reactions, infections, and the long-term effects of pigments.
This research is helping future doctors better understand skin health in tattooed patients. Germany’s medical institutions say the project also bridges the gap between art and science, showing that tattoos can serve as both a cultural practice and a medical study subject.
