FAQ About Influence of Indigenous Tattoo Traditions on Modern Body Art

What challenges do indigenous tattoo artists face today?

Indigenous tattoo artists often face challenges such as cultural misappropriation, a lack of recognition or understanding of their art's cultural significance, and competition with non-indigenous artists who replicate their designs. There are also practical challenges, such as accessing traditional tools or materials and preserving these techniques in a contemporary setting that prioritizes faster, machine-aided processes.
