Basket designs, rug patterns, tribal images, and corn illustrations are all among the graphics many Indigenous tattoo wearers display. Some traditional images date back to tribal origin stories. Tribal members are embracing a revival of tattoo images handed down through the generations—some were all but lost because the practice fell out of fashion. We’ll hear about how Indigenous tattoo artists are reviving and perfecting their tattoo traditions.
