Tattooing: A Universal Art Form

From its origins as an ancient expression, tattooing has traversed centuries of history, often marginalized as a symbol of rebellion. Starting in the 1960s and 1970s, this practice began its journey of democratization and has evolved into a true form of personal and social art today.

Whether it’s tribal designs, floral patterns, colorful compositions, or minimalist lines, tattooing is now recognized as an artistic movement embraced by people of all ages and professions. With over 20% of the French population tattooed and a 50% increase in tattoo artists over the last decade, this cultural phenomenon is thriving. Interestingly, women are more likely to get tattooed than men.
