Tattooed Furniture

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Inked Leather Skull Chair

— October 22, 2008 — Art & Design
Even if you are not a huge fan of tattoos, this unique hand-tattooed leather chair featuring an intricate artistic skull design is sure to impress you.

This incredible clash of antique furniture and modern art was created by Mama Tried studios, which is run by renowned tattoo artist, Scott Campbell.

I don't think I've never seen such a bizarre, yet effective merger of elements of horror and elegance.

Implications - North American society places a lot of importance on individuality, and many consumers are turning to the abstract to differentiate themselves from things they deem commonplace. As such, design elements which some may find off-putting are now desirable due to its ability to displease other consumers. Corporations can capitalize on this pattern by offering products with outlandish design elements which will attract consumers trying to purchase one-of-a-kind products.
