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.

An Introduction to Adrinka Tattoos
Adrinka traditionally refers to a decorated cloth produced among the Ashanti of Ghana. Each of the stamp patterns have different names and refer to various Ashanti proverbs, animals, historic people, and even common household objects. In more recent years, however, Adrinka symbology has been adopted in areas outside of clothing, including, of course, tattoos. You can see a gallery of Adrinka tats here.
