Inked Body Art Corrections

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Cover Up Tattoos Can Dissolve Body Ink Regret

— February 25, 2010 — Lifestyle
Cover up tattoos are a solution for those who love permanent body art but aren't in love with one particular tattoo. Whether it was a past lover or devotion to an innovative product, there's no need to spend your dough on removing it with laser surgery.

Many of these cover up tattoos demonstrate how creative you can get by having another awesome tattoo overlap that drunken mistake or that inked loyalty to another.

Implications - Contemporary culture has shifted in its perception of tattoos and other body modifications -- first they were taboo, then trendy and now they're temporary. Considering the modern classification of tattoos as art, why should one be forced to carry it around forever? Businesses that have the technology to provide potentially permanent body mods could direct us toward a future where everyone's body is a canvas.
Trend Themes
1. Temporary Tattoos - Temporary tattoos provide a solution for those who want the experience of body art without the long-term commitment.
2. Creative Cover Up - The trend of creative cover up tattoos allows individuals to turn their tattoo regrets into works of art.
3. Permanent Body Mods - Businesses that offer potentially permanent body modifications have the opportunity to tap into a market that seeks unique and long-lasting self-expression.
Industry Implications
1. Tattoo Removal - The tattoo removal industry can explore innovative techniques and technologies to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of removing unwanted tattoos.
2. Body Art - The body art industry can embrace the trend of creative cover up tattoos and offer specialized services for individuals looking to transform their existing tattoos.
3. Body Modification - Businesses specializing in body modification can develop new techniques and technologies for providing potentially permanent modifications, offering individuals more options for self-expression.
