Are tattoos legitimate religious practices? Are they “real” religion? For many humans throughout history, from members of Gen Z to those of the distant past, tattoos have been a way to connect with the supernatural. In this talk, he will explore the connections between tattoos and religion, their conflictive history, and their thriving present. Ultimately Morello will argue that tattoos may help us better understand our religious world
