While many industries are struggling in the tough economic climate, the art business is thriving with skin as its most successful new medium!
Recent research revealed that tattoos are becoming increasingly popular among females with Kiwi women more likely to have a tattoo (22%) compared with men (17%).*
The survey also discovered that 85% of New Zealanders who had a tattoo did not regret the decision to have it done.
Tattoo studios like The Tattooed Heart Custom & Classic Studio in Auckland are reporting a steady rise and artists speculate that the recession is causing people to simply invest more in themselves.
