In Tehran, tattooing remains officially frowned upon, but an underground movement of artists continues to grow. Many young Iranians use tattoos as silent symbols of freedom, rebellion, or self-identity. Common designs include Persian poetry, mythological figures, and symbolic flowers.
Despite the risks, demand is rising as tattoos become linked to individuality in a society where conformity is often expected. For many, tattoos are more than decoration—they are subtle acts of resistance and personal liberation. Iran’s underground tattoo scene shows how art persists even in restrictive environments.
