Greece Turns Mythology Into Tattoo Lessons

In Athens, tattoo artists are working with academics to reinterpret Greek mythology into ink—gods, monsters, and heroic tales. Before the tattooing, clients hear explanations of the myths and their moral lessons.

This blending of education and art has transformed tattoos into teaching tools. Tourists and locals alike are embracing it as a creative way to keep Greece’s ancient storytelling alive in modern culture.
