I'm fine with it in theory, but I do think the russian criminal tattoo shirt is pretty tacky, and shock-valuey. dig the Gucci gloves though, and I think if an artist did a collab with one of these companies, and I could justify the price I would consider adding it to my wardrode
My mom actually hates that I get tattoos because they remind her of my grandpa who had a lot of russian prison tattoos and was a pretty shitty guy in general (I actually never met him but I wonder what prison tattoos he had) Oh and btw that's not a castle. It's a church and the number of domes represent how many times you've been sentenced.
I like the idea of tattoo clothing. It allows people to give it a try, let them understand why we “tattooed people” have tattoos. I’d like to get the gloves just to see what a hand tattoo would look like. Side note, is it bad to think it would be funny if they made a face mask thing for face tattoos? Thanks for the video.
Would be more suitable showing our own tattoos in my opinion. I started a company that does that. Your tattoos embroidered onto clothing. Not some images you don't understand, don't know the artist... but YOUR tattoos.
I actually think it's a good idea for non tattooed people who want tattoos to try having them on their body non permanently before they commit to a lifetime commitment of getting tattoos. Also if people want tattoos but can't get visable tattoos due to jobs etc I don't see a problem with them wearing tattoo clothing
omg im so lucky to find this fashioned tattooed story from you specially in that Vetements Tattoo Shirt it has a lot of explaination and story about that kind of russian tattoo that has been printed to the top . tysm sizzy for a very informative story
I think this fashion trend is harmless tbh as long as it isn't designed with shitty symbolism/hate speech or copying real tattoos that are on others unless they gave permission. I can see where it might be weird to people with tattoos, but you have to think about perspectives on why people would wear it. A lot of westerners are privileged to be able to cover their body in tattoos, especially places where everyone can project being an individual and also still get a job with them. Like in Japan or any other Asian countries where openly being an individual comes with judgment in their society; tattoos are seen as taboo, though it has gotten a lot better, still they can't get a job with visible tattoos (heck even dying their hair a lighter brown is seen as a delinquency), can't go to some beaches or onsens, their parents see it as such a devastating thing what they did to their bodies and could even get shunned out of the family. Skin conditions can also be another reason, they can be allergic to ink or basically any sort of thing where their skin can't take the process of a needle constantly going over the same area of skin without it causing immense damage. I think it's cool and maybe even a chance for independent artists that design/manufacture clothes with their art to have another opportunity to have a different kind of merch. They could even take commissions, like custom "tattoo" design mesh shirts of tattoos for people that have tattoo art in mind that they would get on their bodies if they were able.
I’m Russian and l’m sure that people still get prison tattoos. If person has a prison tattoos people would look at her/him (maybe bypass this person) but nothing more (at least in big towns). Sorry for my poor English
Had to pause the video at :04 to come down here and tell you that your makeup looks amazing. So beautiful and fresh. You look glowy and vibrant (or, according to my autocorrect, gooey and vibrancy). Your skin looks great, everything is so well blended, and it's sweet in the best way possible. I'm going to see if I can recreate the look with what I've got here at home. You look great and thanks for the inspiration! 😁
I think part of me is like ew like I dont want to be represented as a novelty I already get "harassed" enough but partly I'm like well its tacky but probably harmless 🤷🏼♀️
I think going back to the Lyle-esque body suits are a good thing. It is not only a way to approach tattoos as art but also a safe way to also maybe see what one would look like covered in tats and might possibly push someone to do a tattoo they were scared of. Especially that gucci glove.
I only have one issue/frustration with high end brands doing this. I’m a fashion model that has tattoos including a sleeve, and I have gotten fired or given a really hard time for my tattoos by high end companies. But if this trend allows models with tattoos to be more of the norm, that’ll be really great.
Definitely do a video on Russian prion tattoos! Sound so interesting. Also I noticed the new ink on your arm 😏 did you think we wouldn't notice ? Hahah love u qcknd 😘
That's so cool that you met Lyle Tuttle! A tattoo artist in my city was friends with him! If you're ever in Southern Indiana, come check out Clint Vaught's tattoo shop/tattoo museum (Crescent City Tattoo & Museum), it has some really neat midwestern tattoo stuff on display!
In New Zealand you often see Maori tattoo designs on clothing especially sports wear and tourist clothing. In fact air New Zealand was in some controversy recently when it came out that they had a “no visible tamoko “ policy and yet their uniforms always have tamoko designs on them. The airline did say this policy was up for review (tamoko is the Maori tattoo that shows your family and life story etc).
Yesterday I got a very traditional rose tattoo. I was pretty shocked I found myself attracted to this style. Upon some reflection I realized those awful Ed Hardy tee shirts (and some lame episodes of tattoo competition shows) were why I was kind of rejected the American traditional style for so long. I thought they were kind of gaudy because the association was so strong. I guess the moral of this story is if you're going to merchandise the tattooed aesthetic, make sure you're designing cool clothes. If you don't you might just ruin a wonderful style of art for someone.
this is so interesting! I work at Urban Outfitters and have been noticing this trend as well - right now we are selling a lot of mesh tops with printed motifs sort of like these ones. Honestly, I’m surprised to find myself kind of into it.
Very recently a little only lady on an airplane saw my tattoos through my black nylons and told me it was such a pretty and interesting print. I was super confused but eventually I was just like... ohh thank you so much !
The first (modern, mechanised) tattoo shop was in New York and belonged to an Irish fellow named Sam O'Reilly. He saw a new invention of Thomas Edison's, the electric pen, which did largely the same thing that a tattoo machine does with the needle moving in and out through several sheets of paper to make weird perforated duplicates and thought that it would be much easier than old-fashioned hand tattooing. With a bit of a redesign, he had his first tattoo machine and began tattooing sailors coming into port in New York!
This was an interesting video! I’m never one to comment but had to because please do a video on Russian prison tattoos, my partner is obsessed with old American traditional tattoos loves the history of it. Super interesting video!
So the skintight tattoo top trend in high fashion happened a looong time ago. Maison Margiela did it in 1989, then reprinted them for H&M in 2012. This kind of showed up again on runways a couple seasons ago. Now that influencers have latched on it will be dead in a few months, you’ve got nothing to worry about
Prison tattoo mythologies are really interesting. I'd enjoy a TTT on the topic sometime. Our South African prison tattoos also have a whole symbolic level to them. Buuuuut I must admit they're not as varied or aesthetically pleasing as Russian prison tattoos.
I’m Russian and live in Moscow and I’d say that there aren’t that many people who have prison tattoos, but I’ve definitely come across a few of them. Normally it’s very heavily tattooed elderly men and honestly they look kinda scary. I would maybe get one myself but I wouldn’t want them to recognize it so I either won’t do it at all or maybe do it in an easily covered place. But also, I do live in Moscow and it is possible that there are more actual people from prison with those tats in other parts of the country. Also, most of the tattoo shops I’ve been to have the books you’ve shown (idk if this is a thing in the US but in Russia tattoo shops usually have a little book shelf with books about tattoos or other interesting visual things that inspire some of the artists). Anyway, good vid as usual!
I think Issey Miyake was first to create this type of tattoo clothing, since he created a "tattoo dress" for his 1971 collection inspirerd by his native Japan Irezumi culture, and was extremly taboo. Kansai Yamamoto should also be mentioned here (who was the creator of various Ziggy Stardust/David Bowie performance costumes). But two designer that came after (that both were inspired by the Avantgarde fashion that Issey Miyake is known for) is Masion Martin Margiela and Jean Paul Gaultier. Masion Martin Margiela (known for his deconstruction and ahead-of-his-time creations) presented at his 1989 ss show, a "tromp l'oeil tattoo top", and later in 2012 - in collaboration with H&M- they made among other clothing pieces a re-edition of the tattoo top, but instead of the original semi-sheer printed silk, this was made in cheaper non-transparent material. Jean Paul Gaultier called his 1994 ss collection "Les Tatouages", and feautered various tattoo styles and also referenced Margielas own version. Also Gaultier made a collaboration, but instead with Lindex in 2014, in which a few tattoo printed items were included. This new version of tattoo clothing that the brand Vetements (creator is Demna Gvasalia - a former employee at Margiela) created for their 2019 ss, is a form of hommage to Margiela but at the same time making a reference to Gvasalias own Georgian heritage, and that's why there is prints of Russian prison tattoos. But needed to be said, Vetements is known for copying or mimicing Margielas great design, for example the famous tabi shoe.

Interesting video! You are on fire Qcknd 🔥🔥🔥 Like many people have said; would love to see a video of Russian prison tattoos (or prison tattoos in general) :>
not really related to the video but i just wanted to let you know that i've only recently discovered your youtube and i have been binge watching your videos ever since while i was studying for my finals this sememester. i really love your content and personality, and thank you so much for making my exams period a little less shitty
I actually have and Ed Hardy jacket that I get so many compliments for. I love it too. It doesn't have the crazy rhinestones though. I think if more items looked like my jacket it would be cooler.... I think as you said the type of people who are imagined to wear it more often are more disliked than the actual clothing. I think the tattoo skin shirts are a little weird. Not weird like ew that is lame, but just kind of weird to look at at first because of the flesh color sort of thing. I actually has not seen this around until this video... I am not interested in this trend. This seems like a funny halloween costume. (wife commenting)
In 2011 I had some nude stockings that had tattoos on them. I ordered them from an European body jewelry site. I was in love with them! People really thought my legs were tatt'd lol.
Tattoos in general are trendy most definitely I’ve been in the tattoo community for well over 20 years...it’s interesting how they are so very socially acceptable and we have also noticed how kids in their late teens on up get fuuulllyy sleeved and fully covered head to toe within like 1 year..which is bonkers BUT That being said we get how the different generations do change etc. and respect that aspect of it. 🙌🏻
I'm going to answer this as a tattoo artist. At first i thought ''I don' t care''. But then I realized what does it mean that Gucci and other big names started to do this kind of tattoo related accesories. As always in few months big fast fashion companies orobably are going to copy this trend. And these people are not stupid, they know how tattoos are popular now. How is that problematic (in my opinion)? One of the major reasons why I love my job is that it's not a modern way to make money on art. Think about it. Usually when modern artist are creating their stuff, its to buy it and sell with a profit. Like for example cool illustrations in magazines or posters or commercial. You don't create personal piece, you are selling it to somebody who will use it somehow to make more money. I'm not saying its wrong but personally i prefer to work with tattoos. It's a slow, personal process. You are working with one client at a time, creating unique pieces for them. And then the final result of this is not something that later they can make money on. And with no big companies involved! Another thing is that me and many many tattoo artist i know from Europe are people of good ethics and are kind of against all the shit of this world . To think that fast fashion brands that we hate would create tattoo related product its just... Disgusting to me. Another problem is that VERY often those brands are stealing designs from young illustrators on instagram. I hope they will not focus their attention on tattoo artists accounts now... I guess I'm against situation in which fast fashion brands copy this trend and start making their dirty money on it. As long as it stays on a high fashion shelf I guess Im ok. Sorry for language mistakes, english is not my first language. Heyy, if you want to see cool polish tattoos made in France check my instagram agatazlotko.tattoo
I agree 100% "It's a slow, personal process. You are working with one client at a time, creating unique pieces for them." I make tattoo clothing. Embroidered shirts. One shirt, one customer. And I make them... I don't send them away to be made. I do my embroidery designs from a person's current tattoos. They get to wear the shirt and show their tattoos to the world (great for winter, office life, family gatherings, etc.) Great for sideboob or back tattoos so you are not always taking your shirt off and on. I don't like this Big Business version of tattooing. But working one on one with a client and producing one high quality piece of art.... feels great. IG @inksideoutapparel
I completely forgot about those Ed Hardy shirt trend. I freaking loved those shirts as a kid. My parents have a strong hate for tattoos but those shirts they didn't mind so I had several. It is so funny how completely tacky those shirts are but I loved them so much as they were the only ties I had to tattoos. That and temporary tattoos. Of course it made sense for me to not be allowed to have tattoos back then, but I think from then on I knew one day I wanted tattoos. Not necessarily even in that style, just tattoos in general.
Please do a Russian prison tattoo talk Tuesday 🖤🖤🖤 Also: i have family members as well not chill with my tats. The one whose feeling i care about i just bring a pineapple to her whenever i get one. She seems pretty chill with the trade off.
Does anyone know whether you tubers make money off of those survey ads? And whether they get money if you select one or just let it run in 30 seconds??? Tryna make Qcknd the most money 😬❤️
I live in an ex USSR country and I have a bunch of traditional tattoos like roses, skulls, and stuff like that and one time a heavily tattooed homeless man took out a knife on me yelling i shouldn't get tattoos if i don't know what they mean lol so yeah being tattooed in Russia could potentially be dangerous and you shouldn't be showing off too much
I think it's too soon to really know whether we should embrace or disown this trend and for right now we should just keep our minds open. I think there are both positive and negative ways these clothes can be represented but I'm hoping that in this day and age it'll be overwhelming positive.
Nice video 👋🏻👍🏻As a very tattooed woman "fully sleeved and a few on my lower legs,shoulder blades,fingers,base of my neck"🙈I love showing them off when I feel like it or covering them up ...Tattoo clothing is cool ,but the industry goes a little crazy with designs sometimes"Tacky or cliche" ,or charging ridiculous prices 🤦😓You might as well get real ones ...lol I love me a hint of a tattoo inspired image on clothing"like your top" 😎🖤✍🏼My opinion though.✌🏻
I guess it would only bother me bc I get flares and stares and whispers in the street bc I’m heavily tattooed but if someone wear tattoo fashion they get complimented by those same people? Idk
@tattoo.archive and @bookmistress are amazing resources for learning about tattoo history. i wrote my thesis on the history of non-male bodies and tattooing and wish someone had sent me in they're direction sooner! xo love u
The playboy reaper may be the same image.... but you don't have it on your stomach and chest. My company embroiders your tattoos where they are on your skin. So when people see you wearing it. It's not for everyone. But for people wanting to show their ink all the time.... this is the way. Called Inkside Out Apparel
Please do a video about Russian prison tattoos!!!! This made me want to learn more
I'm a first generation american from a russian fam and I don't know anything about this. Would love a vid!!!!
This is a great video idea. 10 out of 10 would watch.
YES
Anna bauer-jannette there’s a really interesting documentary on Russian prison tattoos on TH-cam (if it’s still there) that’s how I learned about them
why
"wear my skin....dont worry it's cotton"
Dead 😂😂
That's exactly what i was thinking lol
I'm fine with it in theory, but I do think the russian criminal tattoo shirt is pretty tacky, and shock-valuey. dig the Gucci gloves though, and I think if an artist did a collab with one of these companies, and I could justify the price I would consider adding it to my wardrode
Something I've always wanted to do is get my own personal tattoos embroidered onto a hoodie! That way I can wear my art even when it's cold out, lmao.
Love this.
This is EXACTLY what my company does. Inkside Out Apparel. We're in the Netherlands. Just finished a hoodie this Monday for a girl.
My mom actually hates that I get tattoos because they remind her of my grandpa who had a lot of russian prison tattoos and was a pretty shitty guy in general (I actually never met him but I wonder what prison tattoos he had)
Oh and btw that's not a castle. It's a church and the number of domes represent how many times you've been sentenced.
Hitler didn't have any tattoos. So when people try to associate me and my tats with some baddie from history, I remind them of this ; )
Love the strawberry hanging out on the couch 🍓 ❤️❤️❤️!! Always good content from Qcknd 😊❤️
Tattoo Talk Tuesday: Russian Prison Tattoos please🙂 gonna have a look at them books!
I like the idea of tattoo clothing. It allows people to give it a try, let them understand why we “tattooed people” have tattoos. I’d like to get the gloves just to see what a hand tattoo would look like. Side note, is it bad to think it would be funny if they made a face mask thing for face tattoos?
Thanks for the video.
Would be more suitable showing our own tattoos in my opinion. I started a company that does that. Your tattoos embroidered onto clothing. Not some images you don't understand, don't know the artist... but YOUR tattoos.
Great video. But I had to correct you on the castle tattoo. The image on that designer shirt is the St Basil cathedral in Moscow. It’s not a castle.
I actually think it's a good idea for non tattooed people who want tattoos to try having them on their body non permanently before they commit to a lifetime commitment of getting tattoos. Also if people want tattoos but can't get visable tattoos due to jobs etc I don't see a problem with them wearing tattoo clothing
I'm not sure if there's already a video about this, but I would be interested in what your favorite books/literature on tattoos are!
11:49 those eyebrows just went haywire. Lol love your videos!
Ed Hardy was a really cool artist and its a shame his legacy is such shit clothing
He's still alive, and this isn't his legacy for those who know anything about him.
Spenser Sorry for not being cultured.
omg im so lucky to find this fashioned tattooed story from you specially in that Vetements Tattoo Shirt it has a lot of explaination and story about that kind of russian tattoo that has been printed to the top . tysm sizzy for a very informative story
I think this fashion trend is harmless tbh as long as it isn't designed with shitty symbolism/hate speech or copying real tattoos that are on others unless they gave permission. I can see where it might be weird to people with tattoos, but you have to think about perspectives on why people would wear it.
A lot of westerners are privileged to be able to cover their body in tattoos, especially places where everyone can project being an individual and also still get a job with them. Like in Japan or any other Asian countries where openly being an individual comes with judgment in their society; tattoos are seen as taboo, though it has gotten a lot better, still they can't get a job with visible tattoos (heck even dying their hair a lighter brown is seen as a delinquency), can't go to some beaches or onsens, their parents see it as such a devastating thing what they did to their bodies and could even get shunned out of the family.
Skin conditions can also be another reason, they can be allergic to ink or basically any sort of thing where their skin can't take the process of a needle constantly going over the same area of skin without it causing immense damage.
I think it's cool and maybe even a chance for independent artists that design/manufacture clothes with their art to have another opportunity to have a different kind of merch. They could even take commissions, like custom "tattoo" design mesh shirts of tattoos for people that have tattoo art in mind that they would get on their bodies if they were able.
looking damn fresh qcknd!! I thought this video was going to be about clothes u wear to the appointment lol
The thing you mentioned about family thinking your actual leg tattoos are tights has happened to me nearly every christmas, so funny!
I’m Russian and l’m sure that people still get prison tattoos. If person has a prison tattoos people would look at her/him (maybe bypass this person) but nothing more (at least in big towns).
Sorry for my poor English
You're English isnt poor at all! Thanks for putting in your input :)
Veronica Haley Thank you very much
I remember back in the dark days of the one direction fandom when people had shirts of Harry and Louis' tattoos 😂
"I'm not mad, I'm just here to observe" is such a mood
Had to pause the video at :04 to come down here and tell you that your makeup looks amazing. So beautiful and fresh. You look glowy and vibrant (or, according to my autocorrect, gooey and vibrancy). Your skin looks great, everything is so well blended, and it's sweet in the best way possible. I'm going to see if I can recreate the look with what I've got here at home. You look great and thanks for the inspiration! 😁
Would love a makeup tutorial!
Those mesh tattoos shirts look so tacky, and reminds me of those tattoo halloween shirts/gloves for kids lol
I think part of me is like ew like I dont want to be represented as a novelty I already get "harassed" enough but partly I'm like well its tacky but probably harmless 🤷🏼♀️
For the love of god please talk about Jake Paul tattoo merch!!!!! Nerd City mentions it in his video
Loved this video and the strawberry pillow in the background too
I've had multiple people ask about my tights too?? Depends on the situation as to whether I correct them or just roll with it!
Oof I’m going to get a tattoo in an hour or two and momma uploaded a video. Thank you so much for this ❤️
Awh the way you pronounced Vetements was cute!
I think going back to the Lyle-esque body suits are a good thing. It is not only a way to approach tattoos as art but also a safe way to also maybe see what one would look like covered in tats and might possibly push someone to do a tattoo they were scared of. Especially that gucci glove.
Video idea: Sailor Jerry tattoos, recreating sailor jerry tattoos, meaning and history behind, etc
Great content as usual. But please let's have a tut on this makeup look! So beautiful and fresh!
I only have one issue/frustration with high end brands doing this. I’m a fashion model that has tattoos including a sleeve, and I have gotten fired or given a really hard time for my tattoos by high end companies. But if this trend allows models with tattoos to be more of the norm, that’ll be really great.
Definitely do a video on Russian prion tattoos! Sound so interesting. Also I noticed the new ink on your arm 😏 did you think we wouldn't notice ? Hahah love u qcknd 😘
Hi! The "castle" on mesh shirts is actually a church 🙂
Trend Alert!!! This is a great and timely video! Your lewrk is great and I love the crying heart featured on the shirt. :)
I love your honesty and insight. Thanks for such great content x
I just want to mention that what you're wearing is a look! Looking amazing per usual :)
Whaaaaaat i always thought the playboybunny was filled with leaves oO
Ariyl me too! I never knew there was a reaper in there!
Also, Ms Quack you are the absolute cutest in this video today, your makeup your outfit, everything 💕 this video was very interesting, loved it!
That's so cool that you met Lyle Tuttle! A tattoo artist in my city was friends with him! If you're ever in Southern Indiana, come check out Clint Vaught's tattoo shop/tattoo museum (Crescent City Tattoo & Museum), it has some really neat midwestern tattoo stuff on display!

Riding the NYC subway, I've seen about 4 of these shirts in the past week, so catch me spooked when you made a video about them
Shout out TH-cam for sending me a notification a day late on a video I already watched 2 hours after it was posted
Yesterday I got a very traditional rose tattoo. I was pretty shocked I found myself attracted to this style. Upon some reflection I realized those awful Ed Hardy tee shirts (and some lame episodes of tattoo competition shows) were why I was kind of rejected the American traditional style for so long.

the lil heidi kenney plush 😭♥️🍓 reminds me of your plush of the month days
emily vonn ugh I miss plush of the month
Sofia Firma Paz ikr me too 💕💗
“I’m not mad, I’m just here to observe” my new favorite quote
You should do a TTT on those new “body mark” tattoo pens from bic. I’d love to hear your opinion on them. I personally am a little 👀
I want another video on Russian prison tattoos! Hopefully someone who lives there can fill you in on what's going on with them these days
Would love a tattoo talk Tuesday diving into Russian prison tattoos!
Very recently a little only lady on an airplane saw my tattoos through my black nylons and told me it was such a pretty and interesting print. I was super confused but eventually I was just like... ohh thank you so much !
Some of my clothes (like t-shirts prints) has definitely inspired some of my tattoos
The first (modern, mechanised) tattoo shop was in New York and belonged to an Irish fellow named Sam O'Reilly. He saw a new invention of Thomas Edison's, the electric pen, which did largely the same thing that a tattoo machine does with the needle moving in and out through several sheets of paper to make weird perforated duplicates and thought that it would be much easier than old-fashioned hand tattooing. With a bit of a redesign, he had his first tattoo machine and began tattooing sailors coming into port in New York!

This was an interesting video! I’m never one to comment but had to because please do a video on Russian prison tattoos, my partner is obsessed with old American traditional tattoos loves the history of it.
Super interesting video!
I am russian and I would LOVE to see a video about russian criminal tattoos 💙
She aint mad she just observin
Omg I didnt realize I had my sound up and those clicks at the beginning were VICIOUS
This video was so interesting; I love learning about history in general - really intriguing about what symbolism means what.
So the skintight tattoo top trend in high fashion happened a looong time ago. Maison Margiela did it in 1989, then reprinted them for H&M in 2012. This kind of showed up again on runways a couple seasons ago. Now that influencers have latched on it will be dead in a few months, you’ve got nothing to worry about

I actually has not seen this around until this video... I am not interested in this trend. This seems like a funny halloween costume.
(wife commenting)
I am cosplay has BL3 psycho bandit with tattoo sleeve shirt were at Ebay for $12.00, it's 2018 style fashion..
Very cover, love it.. also in colors.
In 2011 I had some nude stockings that had tattoos on them. I ordered them from an European body jewelry site.
I was in love with them! People really thought my legs were tatt'd lol.
At Halloween its common to see tattoo printed mesh sleeves for sale in costume departments. I had been wanting shirts like this. I like the idea.
Why not get YOUR tattoos on clothing? Inkside Out Apparel
Your nana thinking your tattoos were tights made me dieeee
Your skin looks so good! You are GLOWING
Tattoos in general are trendy most definitely I’ve been in the tattoo community for well over 20 years...it’s interesting how they are so very socially acceptable and we have also noticed how kids in their late teens on up get fuuulllyy sleeved and fully covered head to toe within like 1 year..which is bonkers BUT That being said we get how the different generations do change etc. and respect that aspect of it. 🙌🏻
I'm going to answer this as a tattoo artist. At first i thought ''I don' t care''. But then I realized what does it mean that Gucci and other big names started to do this kind of tattoo related accesories. As always in few months big fast fashion companies orobably are going to copy this trend. And these people are not stupid, they know how tattoos are popular now. How is that problematic (in my opinion)? One of the major reasons why I love my job is that it's not a modern way to make money on art. Think about it. Usually when modern artist are creating their stuff, its to buy it and sell with a profit. Like for example cool illustrations in magazines or posters or commercial. You don't create personal piece, you are selling it to somebody who will use it somehow to make more money. I'm not saying its wrong but personally i prefer to work with tattoos. It's a slow, personal process. You are working with one client at a time, creating unique pieces for them. And then the final result of this is not something that later they can make money on. And with no big companies involved! Another thing is that me and many many tattoo artist i know from Europe are people of good ethics and are kind of against all the shit of this world . To think that fast fashion brands that we hate would create tattoo related product its just... Disgusting to me. Another problem is that VERY often those brands are stealing designs from young illustrators on instagram. I hope they will not focus their attention on tattoo artists accounts now... I guess I'm against situation in which fast fashion brands copy this trend and start making their dirty money on it. As long as it stays on a high fashion shelf I guess Im ok. Sorry for language mistakes, english is not my first language. Heyy, if you want to see cool polish tattoos made in France check my instagram agatazlotko.tattoo
I agree 100% "It's a slow, personal process. You are working with one client at a time, creating unique pieces for them." I make tattoo clothing. Embroidered shirts. One shirt, one customer. And I make them... I don't send them away to be made. I do my embroidery designs from a person's current tattoos. They get to wear the shirt and show their tattoos to the world (great for winter, office life, family gatherings, etc.) Great for sideboob or back tattoos so you are not always taking your shirt off and on. I don't like this Big Business version of tattooing. But working one on one with a client and producing one high quality piece of art.... feels great. IG @inksideoutapparel
In the words of Michelle visage “its a piece of fabric”
I completely forgot about those Ed Hardy shirt trend. I freaking loved those shirts as a kid. My parents have a strong hate for tattoos but those shirts they didn't mind so I had several. It is so funny how completely tacky those shirts are but I loved them so much as they were the only ties I had to tattoos. That and temporary tattoos. Of course it made sense for me to not be allowed to have tattoos back then, but I think from then on I knew one day I wanted tattoos. Not necessarily even in that style, just tattoos in general.
Please do a Russian prison tattoo talk Tuesday 🖤🖤🖤
Also: i have family members as well not chill with my tats. The one whose feeling i care about i just bring a pineapple to her whenever i get one. She seems pretty chill with the trade off.
13:59 idk the kanji but the kana are literally... I think it’s tsu tsu lol
She played the Evangelion theme as she wrote it lol not sure how its Eva related though
Does anyone know whether you tubers make money off of those survey ads? And whether they get money if you select one or just let it run in 30 seconds??? Tryna make Qcknd the most money 😬❤️
never knew about the background of ed hardy (even tho i'm sure i had a shirt like that when i was 10 growing up), interesting!
I live in an ex USSR country and I have a bunch of traditional tattoos like roses, skulls, and stuff like that and one time a heavily tattooed homeless man took out a knife on me yelling i shouldn't get tattoos if i don't know what they mean lol so yeah being tattooed in Russia could potentially be dangerous and you shouldn't be showing off too much
tbh i had ed hardy slip on style sneakers when i was 10 and i felt like such a badass
the opening shot... cute!!!
Are we all just going to pretend that 13:48 didn’t happen? 😂😂
You are glowing. I could keep listening to you forever 😍
I think it's too soon to really know whether we should embrace or disown this trend and for right now we should just keep our minds open. I think there are both positive and negative ways these clothes can be represented but I'm hoping that in this day and age it'll be overwhelming positive.
Nice video 👋🏻👍🏻As a very tattooed woman "fully sleeved and a few on my lower legs,shoulder blades,fingers,base of my neck"🙈I love showing them off when I feel like it or covering them up ...Tattoo clothing is cool ,but the industry goes a little crazy with designs sometimes"Tacky or cliche" ,or charging ridiculous prices 🤦😓You might as well get real ones ...lol I love me a hint of a tattoo inspired image on clothing"like your top" 😎🖤✍🏼My opinion though.✌🏻
Why not get a top with YOUR own tattoos on it? The folks at inkside out apparel do that
@@americarex4461 lol..Even I get tired of looking at my tattoos and want to cover them up sometimes .That's the great thing about clothing.😅
These shirts remind me of Beth from dog the bounty hunter 😂😂😂 what ever happened to five fact Friday? I miss those
If anyone's wondering what the message on the gloves says, it's "the blinded by [literally translating : for] love"
that background tho 👀 office redo vid next??
I guess it would only bother me bc I get flares and stares and whispers in the street bc I’m heavily tattooed but if someone wear tattoo fashion they get complimented by those same people? Idk
Where’s this shirt from?! Need need NEED
Where's your shirt from? I love it
@tattoo.archive and @bookmistress are amazing resources for learning about tattoo history. i wrote my thesis on the history of non-male bodies and tattooing and wish someone had sent me in they're direction sooner! xo love u
