Extreme Customization

The customization of tattoos both real and temporary takes on new heights

Implications - The tattoo application process is inherently personal for many and customizable for all, and brands within this industry are now incorporating unique innovations that accelerate the customized nature of this art form. Whether in the form of DNA-infused inks or temporary fragrant tattoos, such new formulations re-integrate the "divergent" history of tattoo art into an industry that underwent a steady transformation from rebellious to "mainstream".
Workshop Question - How could your brand integrate a new, customized element into one of its products/services?
Trend Themes
1. Extreme Personalization - Brands are incorporating unique innovations that accelerate the customized nature of tattoo art, such as DNA-infused ink and incorporating human or animal hair into the tattoo ink.
2. Scented Body Art - Companies are adding fragrance to tattoo ink or temporary body art to create a sensorial experience.
3. Advanced Technology for Tattoo Artists - New equipment for tattoo artists, such as tattoo-generating machines and portable tattoo printers, streamlines the process and provides more options for customization.
Industry Implications
1. Cosmetics and Fragrance - Incorporating fragrance into tattoo ink or temporary body art creates new opportunities for cosmetics and fragrance companies to expand their offerings.
2. Printing and Imaging - The tattoo artist printers highlight the opportunities for technological innovations in printing and imaging.
3. Personalized Gifting - Consumers can use DNA-infused ink and incorporating human or animal hair into the tattoo ink as a unique, highly personalized gift for loved ones.
