Tattooing Mixes into Other Industries

The art of tattooing is probably one of the fastest growing industries within the art world. Due to the fact that tattooing has had much to do with the way people see art now, tattoos have affected many industries like clothing and television. Much more recently we have seen shows like Miami Ink and LA Ink that have been dedicated to popularizing this once taboo art form. The clothing industry has adopted the “style” of tattoo imagery to their designer logos as well. I recently went to the mall and saw that a lot of the shirts and jackets had a tattooing style to their images like Hurley and Quick Silver. Not too long ago, there was a series of clothing articles that had the sleeves “tatted up” in various forms and styles. Tattooing seems to be more prevalent now than it has been in past decades; this occurrence could be due to more and more business looking into and exploring the enormous capital possibilities of tattoos.
