Tattoo Artists Become Celebrities in the Biker World

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

Bikers have developed a unique culture all their own.  This has resulted in a number of stereotypes that are usually incorrect and sometimes just down right disrespectful.  In the 1950s and 60s, bikers were portrayed as violent thugs and miscreants.  Believe it or not, very few bikers are actually in vicious motorcycle gangs.  In more recent years, tattoos have become synonymous with bikers.  It’s hard to go to a rally and not see tattoos covering half the crowd, although they vary from very simple markings to extremely intricate large body pieces.  These works of art have become an integral part of motorcycle culture and have led to the rise of a number of celebrity tattoo artists.
