AMT RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT

We’re proud to spotlight Adam Daly, member of the AMT Board of Directors, on the publication of his latest article in RTE Brainstorm!

🧠✨ “How Therapeutic Tattoos Help Cancer Survivors Reclaim Their Identity” explores the powerful role of both reconstructive and decorative tattooing in helping survivors heal emotionally and physically after cancer.

Through interviews with artists across 22 countries and insights from over 9,000 therapeutic tattoos, Adam sheds light on the importance of ethical training, survivor-centered care, and the transformative potential of tattooing in cancer survivorship.

We’re not just supporting tattoo artists—we’re helping define the entire specialty of medical tattooing.

By collaborating with researchers like Adam Daly, we go beyond the art and into the science, ethics, psychology, and survivorship that surround this work.

At AMT, we believe medical tattooing isn’t just a service—it’s a clinical, emotional, and artistic specialty that deserves recognition, research, and rigorous standards.

This article is just one example of how we’re working to elevate the field and shape its future from every angle.

🎯 A must-read for anyone passionate about advancing medical tattooing and survivor care.
