Iran: Protests in Tehran
After the Islamic Republic opened fire on protesters during the nationwide uprising of Dey 1404 in Iran, filling the streets, hospitals, and morgues with the injured and dead, it may have managed to silence the streets, but protest and opposition have found a new battlefield: the body. Across Iran, a new trend has emerged: political memory, national identity, and dissent are permanently etched onto skin. Narratives from more than a dozen tattoo artists, protesters, relatives of the killed, former political prisoners, and other sources in Iran speak of a significant change after the bloody crackdown of Dey: an increase in tattoos related to protest, mourning, and national identity, including among those getting tattoos for the first time; more people have decided to permanently inscribe these messages on their bodies in increasingly visible locations. These tattoos are also increasingly being placed on visible parts of the body. Read this report by Azadeh Akbari on the Iran International website.
