Cashing in on the Tattoo Craze

Saturday July 19, 2008
Tattoos are appearing on everything from t-shirts to shoes, but department store fashion lines aren't the only ones getting in on the action. The very artists who have made this artform so popular are contributing their status, names and art to create and endorse even more (and better) apparel and novelties. Instead of a shirt with a generic heart with wings designed by some unknown artist, now you can get a shirt featuring the work of some of the best tattoo artists in the world.

So who are the better artists and/or clothes lines? What other tattoo items are available besides clothes? Who is this article aimed at? What information does your article contain that the reader can use?

holy smokes i didnt realize there was a new editor at about.com.
who is a better artist? what? how is anyone going to make such a judgment decision in an unbiassed maner, that question simply can not be answered, as they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
what other items are available? what are they not available on? what a laundry list that would be.
sheesh, mabe somneone needs to ask more relivant questions. the article is clear about its purpose, showing how body art is becoming evermore accepted in the mainstream of society, where it has been looked down and disrespected for far too long. with corporate, and pc america labeling this “shameful” display of individuality and expression, it is nice to see such changes happening in attitude, that art is art whether it is on fabric, canvas, or flesh.

vor don is not an associate of about.com, nothing i say means squat, beyond being a voice of reason, with my own common sense, and opinions.
