Tattoo Subculture

The tattoo subculture brings together artists and enthusiasts around shared references — from specific visual styles to music, fashion, and a code of ethics about what's "right" or "wrong" within the craft. Historically tied to groups outside the mainstream, like sailors, bikers and punk movements, it now coexists with tattooing's broad mainstream popularity, which sparks internal debates about authenticity and commercialization. Forums, conventions and specialized social media keep that collective identity alive.
