Abstract

Tattoos symbolize individuality, experiences, status, religion, and art. They come in many shapes, sizes, colours, designs, and styles. A tattoo in forensic odontology serves as a secondary physical characteristic displaying highly individual features, and can be used to enable identification of deceased, unknown individuals. A single unique feature is enough to allow confirmation of identity.
