October Sticker- Tattoo Shop Set #1

Added 2023-10-20 00:25:12 +0000 UTC

This set for the last quarter of 2023 I am going to use artwork I made to promote my tattoo business/shop, since it is closing down for good in a few weeks.

This Incubus design I had used on shirts, signage, business cards… it started out as a gender swap of the traditional “hellbound” tattoo design, famously from old flash sheets. I had a tee shirt with the old flash design on it. Sometimes it says “hell bomb” instead of hellbound.

Anyway, Marginalized had evolved somewhat in usage, at least for me, in the decades since I first named my self-publishing imprint and later my shop that word. I don’t really feel comfortable using it anymore. I am and have been marginalized, as a gay man, and as a producer of adult material, but there are far more marginalized groups of people in this world, and I don’t mean to minimize their plight.

So here I offer up both versions, and would like to put the choice to you:

Marginalized, or

Hellbound?
