“The Tattoo Bodysuit” is an exploration of tattoo design and personal style. In looking at the work of American Traditional Tattoo artists as well as Kawaii artists, this tattoo bodysuit melds these two worlds together. This project uses the bold linework and shading techniques of American Traditional tattooing with the soft colors and unabashed femininity within Kawaii art to create a piece that seemed to be missing in the contemporary tattoo space. This niche has a variety of participants making pieces yet, none seemed to have been creating bodysuit designs and so, this project was made in the effort to fill that gap. In filling this gap, it also allows for the exploration and creation of a personal design style within tattoo design. Exploring these styles while keeping aspects of both allows for a look at both the masculine and feminine; bringing two opposing styles into one seamless style and creating a collection of pieces to work with one another both stylistically and thematically.
