Introduction: Tattooing is defined as the process of permanently inserting ink beneath the skin. A distinction exists between temporary and permanent tattoos. The practice of tattooing dates back to ancient civilizations, reflecting diverse cultural and personal significance throughout history. Motivations for tattooing vary, ranging from the desire to express identity and individuality to conveying thoughts and emotions. The aim of the research: The study aimed to assess the level of health-related knowledge about tattooing among students in the Republic of Croatia and to explore their attitudes toward this practice. Materials and methods: This research was conducted using an anonymous, voluntary online questionnaire targeting undergraduate, graduate, and integrated study students across various academic disciplines throughout the Republic of Croatia. Results: The findings indicate that the majority of respondents hold a positive attitude toward tattoos and tattooing. Nearly half (46%) expressed a willingness or desire to get another tattoo. Additionally, 80% of respondents acknowledged that tattoos can result in wounds susceptible to infection, while 76% recognized that tattoos can obscure moles, potentially hindering the detection of skin changes. However, only 30% of respondents were aware of the potential issues tattoos may pose during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Conclusion: The popularity of tattoos is at an all-time high, particularly among younger populations. This trend underscores the importance of providing timely education about the potential health risks and complications associated with tattoos and tattooing practices, especially among young people.
