tattoohees

Tattoohees is a term that refers to a group of tattoo artists who are known for their distinctive style and the communities they create around their work. The term was coined in the early 2000s by tattoo artist and writer, Jason McDowell, to describe a new generation of tattoo artists who were breaking away from traditional tattoo styles and creating their own unique aesthetic. Tattoohees are often characterized by their use of bold, colorful designs, and their willingness to experiment with different styles and techniques. They are also known for their community-building efforts, often hosting workshops, events, and social media groups to share their knowledge and connect with other artists. Some of the most well-known tattoohees include Jason McDowell, Chris Appel, and Mike DeMello. The tattoohees movement has had a significant impact on the tattoo industry, inspiring a new generation of artists and helping to bring tattooing into the mainstream.
