Here are some examples of different typefaces that were created by Stephanie Tamez of New York. This is and example of the new and innovative fonts being created by artists, who no longer want to use the old "sailor" type of fonts. Typographic tattoos and just tattoos in general are becoming very prominent amongst the pop culture and adorn the skin of many pop culture celebrities. This has sparked a sort of pop culture tattoo phenomenon. The younger audience who idolize these celebrities, wether knowingly or not, are starting a tattooing trend. As with many other aspects of pop culture, from clothes to make up, the pop culture audience has been affected by the sight of the pop culture icons being tattooed and in turn want to get tattooed themselves. This in turn sparks a trend amongst friends who want to be "in" too. There are many unique glyphs and typefaces being created to suit a new generation of people wanting tattoos to express themselves and their interests uniquely. Many of these letterforms are truly beautiful and the thought that went into their design with more than likely, as I mentioned in a previous blog, change a lot of preconceived notions regarding tattoos and the people who get them.
