Paris has become the hub of tattoos inspired by philosophy, with students and intellectuals turning to quotes from thinkers like Descartes, Voltaire, and Simone de Beauvoir. Popular designs include minimalist tattoos of “Cogito, ergo sum” (“I think, therefore I am”) and abstract representations of existentialist thought.
Tattoo artists note that these tattoos are especially popular among literature and philosophy students, who see them as reminders of their academic journey. The trend has also spilled into cultural discussions, where tattoos act as portable philosophy lessons, encouraging debates on meaning, existence, and freedom.
