Tattooing has gone mainstream.

It is used in medicine to restore appearance after disfiguring injuries or surgeries, to transform skin lesions and scars into works of art, and to repurpose & reclaim one's body as a space for powerful self-expression.

Join the Section on Medicine and the Arts for a panel discussion with physicians, an art historian, and a tattoo artist on the varied and evolving uses of tattooing.

This event is open to the public to attend and all are invited!

**Medical students and students in the health professions, please select the College Student ticket.
