INKEDblog takes you beneath the skin of today's tattoo culture. Our mission is to celebrate tattooing as a modern art form which incorporates art, fashion, style, and pop culture. While paying homage and respect to the past, we look to present a contemporary take on the present and future of skin art.

Some Like it Hot
Strikethebox is an incredibly impressive site solely dedicated to firefighter tattoos. It’s no surprise that the September 11th attacks spawned some serious needle point patriotism, with many fire fighters sporting patriotic tattoos to commemorate their colleague’s sacrifices. It was as though tattoo parlors were doubling as therapy suites, where firemen could undergo a little pain in the hopes of immortalizing the pride they felt for their fellow firefighters. But it seems that even four years after the attacks, firefighters are still getting inked as a show of respect. Strikethebox features a plethora of tattoo images– the most touching being those related to 9/11, such as the three firefighters raising the American flag amongst the rubble of the fallen World Trade Center.
