Mexico Revives Aztec and Maya Tattoo Traditions

September 13, 2025 Admin Uncategorized 0

Mexican youth are particularly drawn to tattoos of Quetzalcoatl (the feathered serpent) and traditional sun motifs. This movement is both artistic and political, as it challenges colonial legacies by reclaiming Indigenous traditions through modern tattoo culture.
