Healing Tattoos offers a way to explore and understand tattoos that bring comfort, transformation, or a sense of healing to the people who wear them.
We acknowledge that healing is a process that is not linear. It may go on for a long time. We are interested in questions like what is the meaning behind the tattoo? Do tattoos help heal difficult experiences and if yes, how? Do healing tattoos contribute to personal growth?
Healing tattoos are those that people obtain in order to:
- celebrate
- challenge
- disrupt and/or
- (re)claim
an aspect of themselves and/or of social phenomena.
