Media Ideas: Needled (Ads With Tattoos Only)
Needled is a new site for the tattoo community and afficionados of the art. The announcement says, “It is with great pleasure (and a bit of pain) that I announce our newest site, Needled. Edited by the fabulous Marisa DiMattia, Needled takes a look at the art of tattooers, on skin and on canvas. It also looks at the culture, politics, and laws affecting tattoo art.”
Needled says it “understands that body art aficionados cannot be put into neat boxes: they are lawyers with tattooed bodysuits under Paul Smith suits, tech gurus with backpieces, soccer moms with sleeves, and artists who enjoy a good opera after a tattoo convention.”
Needled’s publisher, Josh Rubin, told IF, “so far, all the models in ads on needled are tattoo’d. i’d really love to keep it that way!”
