Buy & Wear Your Tattoo On Your Sleeve


Not only can you model permanent and temporary skin tattoos, but now you are able to sport the same designs on your clothing.

Stores, online and off, are offering tattoo designed clothing to appeal to the tattooed community.

This may not be a completely original idea, because places like Hot Topic have been selling alternate clothing for about 20 years. In addition, many tattoo shops now carry clothing, jewelry and several other impulse buys.

But the idea of reaching out to the tattoo community isn’t solely profit based.

One store’s main purpose of selling is to illustrate the tattoo artists’ talents, beyond what they can do on skin.

Merchandise including:

  • Clothing
  • Accessories
  • Photo print
  • Books

More than just a store, Canvas Los Angeles is a place to support and discover tattoo artists, and to educate the public about the community from which these artists come,” states the Canvas Los Angeles Web site.

Another online store, Tattoo Tribe, is not just highlighting artists, but mainly the history and variety of tattoos from across the world.

Some examples include:

Really like some of the different styles of tattoo, but don’t want to get a piece just to sport it? Get some clothing artwork and support the artists and tattoo culture in general.

To evolve the tattoo culture is to hopefully expand the knowledge and appreciation.
