In Mexico City, universities are including pre-Hispanic tattoo traditions in history classes. Students learn how the Maya and Aztec civilizations used tattoos for religious ceremonies, status, and identity. Teachers use ancient codices and archaeological evidence to bring lessons to life.
This approach helps young Mexicans reconnect with their heritage and view tattoos as part of their cultural roots rather than imported trends. Experts believe it strengthens national pride while preserving ancestral knowledge.
