Untangling Tattoos’ Influence On Immune Response
IFL Science! – Oct. 23

I’d been in Samoa for a month, studying Samoan tattooing culture and the impact of the big traditional pieces called pe’a and malu – tatau in general – on the immune system. Now I was getting my own hand-tapped leg tattoo, albeit considerably smaller. Christopher D. Lynn, Associate Professor of Anthropology, University of Alabama
