Key Takeaways

- Artistic Impacts: Margot Mifflin, the Scab Shop, and Sasha Masiuk are unique figures who have made significant contributions to the modern tattoo landscape.

- Diverse Perspectives: Each brings a unique viewpoint to the industry, from academia to innovative studio concepts, to distinct artistic styles.

- The Future of Tattoos: Through their work, all three represent different facets of how tattoos are evolving and gaining deeper cultural significance.

Margot Mifflin: An Insightful Scholar of Tattoo Art

Margot Mifflin is an established author and academic who has extensively covered the art and culture of tattooing. A professor in the English department at the City University of New York, Mifflin has a unique perspective on the tattoo world as a scholar and observer, not a practitioner.

Mifflin's writing career has centered around art, culture, and women's issues. She has written for numerous publications, including The New Yorker, The New York Times, and The Believer. Yet it's her books, especially "Bodies of Subversion: A Secret History of Women and Tattoo", that have earned her a place in tattooing history. The book, now in its third edition, was the first history of women's tattoo art and has become a significant text in the field.

In her scholarly pursuit, Mifflin has illuminated the often overlooked stories of women in the tattoo industry, tracing the evolution of societal attitudes towards tattooed women from the Victorian age to the present day.

Scab Shop: A New Paradigm in Tattoo Artistry

The Scab Shop is an innovative tattoo studio renowned for its distinct approach to body art. Situated in the heart of New York City, the Scab Shop has cultivated a reputation for embracing both traditional and avant-garde tattoo styles.

Scab Shop's Innovations: Tattoos That (Live) Forever

The Scab Shop is redefining the world of body art with their unique "Tattoos That (Live) Forever" project. In this project, Scab Shop has curated a series of one-of-a-kind artworks from their genesis artists, marked on interactive glass.

Each piece is an NFT, and the purchase of each one comes with a unique opportunity: a single tattoo appointment with the artist to have the art rendered on the skin. Once the artwork is tattooed, the NFT loses its appointment privilege but retains a record of the owner it was rendered on.

This innovative approach bridges the gap between the physical and digital realms. Scab Shop recognizes the growing significance of our digital identities and aims to extend the reach of their artists' work across this boundary. In doing so, they allow collectors to curate their identities in all contexts, helping us express ourselves more authentically both online and offline.

Founded by a collective of talented artists, the Scab Shop has quickly become a destination for those seeking unique, customized tattoos. It's known for its emphasis on collaboration between the artist and the client, ensuring each tattoo tells a personal story.

Membership to the Scab Shop is accessible via OpenSea, and all Scab Shop pass holders can bid on these unique artworks. This innovative initiative features pieces from renowned artists such as Mister Cartoon, Doctor Woo, Scott Campbell, and Sasha Masiuk, among others.

The Scab Shop invites everyone to follow their journey and engage with their vibrant community on Twitter and Discord.

The shop itself is designed to be inviting and comfortable, moving away from the sometimes-intimidating atmosphere of traditional tattoo parlors. This approach, combined with their diverse roster of skilled tattoo artists, makes The Scab Shop an important player in the evolving tattoo culture.

Sasha Masiuk: Blending Tradition and Modernity in Tattoos

Sasha Masiuk: Biography
