Hipster Tattooed Leather Footwear

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Be Awesome and Sport a Pair of Tattoo Shoes by Oliver Sweeney

— January 28, 2014 — Fashion
Express yourself using ink with this beautifully crafted hand-made tattoo shoes from this new line of leather men's footwear.

Original and a super fresh take on footwear, these tattoo shoes are the genius creation of famous tattoo artist Henry Hate (known for his work with Amy Winehouse and Alexander McQueen) and British shoemakers Oliver Sweeney. Rocking the fierce and cheeky jet-setter attitude, Oliver Sweeney's new tattoo shoe line includes boots and brogues, with all the hand-designed tattoo art designed across the upper sole by Hate. Using the shoe as you would your own skin, customers can submit original designs to tattoo onto the shoe.

So get creative and maybe a little crazy. Unlike skin, you can always just take your rocking new boots off.
