In Nairobi, Kenya, cultural educators are reviving the stories behind tribal tattoos that once marked milestones such as adulthood, bravery, or leadership. Workshops and school programs now include lessons on how tattoos were used by different ethnic groups to preserve identity and history.
Students are encouraged to view tattoos not just as body art, but as living history books carved into the skin. Experts say this approach has helped young people reconnect with their heritage while also sparking new discussions on modern identity in Kenyan society.
