Since tattoos are becoming more popular in today’s culture, it seems only fair that they start showing up in magazines, clothing lines, and in actual works of art. In general, fashion models must meet certain standards in order to be hired for jobs. That usually includes having perfect, blemish-free skin. In the April 2011 issue of Marie Claire, there is an entire set (about six pages) of one model with several visible tattoos. I’ve also begun to notice small but visible tattoos showing up more frequently in ads and TV commercials. Also, celebrities such as Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga have several visible tattoos that are always in the eye of the public. Evidently, tattoos are becoming a more accepted practice and it is more acceptable to popularize them through advertisements and pop culture.

The image above is of a model getting temporary tattoos for a Chanel show. While they are not real, the tattoos are still being glamorized for the runway.
Here's a photoshoot with a model and someone with full sleeves.
Megan Fox with an awesome word tattoo on her side. (Respect.)
Miley Cyrus with a dreamcatcher on her side. (Less respect, only because she can afford more tattoos than me and she just turned 18.)
