It’s Serious Business! The Public Face of Tattooing

[31:22] “How do we get the general public, that’s not in the tattoo industry, to get that same spark that we do. Like, oh man, There’s something serious going on here.”

— James Hall

The tattoo industry has undergone a dramatic transformation in recent years, with increased acceptance and visibility. From TV shows to large-scale art shows and conventions, tattoos are now celebrated as a legitimate art form. Tattoo shops have even taken on a spa-like atmosphere, and this shift has contributed to a newfound respect for the industry.

Tattoo artists have also adopted a more client-centered approach, taking care to consider the image they are putting out into the world. A positive public image is crucial, as it helps to create a welcoming and exciting environment for those who may be new to the world of tattoos. This focus on creating a welcoming atmosphere and positive image has helped to further elevate the industry and its artists.
