About this Event

Are tattoos legitimate religious practices? Are they a real religion? For many, among Gen Z but also in the past, tattoos have been a way to connect with the supernatural.

In this talk, we will explore the connections between tattoos and religion, their conflictive story, and their thriving present: tattoos help us to understand our religious world better.

Lunch will be provided.
