The Tattoo Research Institute is committed to conducting unbiased, high-quality research that sheds light on the profound impact of tattooing across different dimensions of human life.
By examining tattooing through the lenses of psychology, sociology, and cultural studies, we aim to contribute meaningful insights to academic discourse and public understanding.
Our work is guided by the belief that tattooing is more than just a form of body art; it is a powerful expression of identity, community, and personal transformation.
