In Yerevan, artists are translating khachkar (traditional cross-stone) carvings into tattoo designs, teaching interested clients about their symbolic language—crosses, rosettes, and interlaced patterns—before any ink is applied. Conservators work with studios to prevent misuse of sacred motifs.
The program aims to preserve Armenian stone-carving heritage by making its symbolism accessible to younger generations. Many clients view these tattoos as portable memorials of history, faith, and resilience.
