Canada Launches Tattoo Safety Campaign in Schools

In Canada, schools are rolling out a new tattoo safety campaign aimed at teenagers. The program combines lessons on the Indigenous history of body markings with modern discussions about tattoo culture in today’s society.

Doctors and public health workers visit classrooms to explain the importance of professional tattooing, sterile equipment, and aftercare. Students also get to try temporary tattoos inspired by Indigenous and contemporary designs to make learning hands-on.

Officials say the campaign ensures young Canadians see tattoos as both cultural expression and a health responsibility.
