If you don’t know what to give your loved ones for Christmas, here’s an idea to remember.
Your tattoo deserves better than staying hidden under a sweater. An application allows you to display it, but in an unexpected way: embroidered on your favorite clothes. This original concept promises personalized and memorable gifts. It all started from a simple observation. During a trip to Miami, an entrepreneur realized that tattoos disappear under clothes by the end of summer. Frustrated at seeing such well-crafted works of art go unnoticed once fall came, he had a bright idea: make tattoos visible all year round by embroidering them directly on textiles. And why embroidery? Because it guarantees high-end quality, worthy of the great fashion houses.
The concept is also part of an ecological approach. No question of producing new clothes. Here you send your own pieces, whether it’s a cotton t-shirt, a denim jacket or even a leather jacket. Once embroidered, these garments take on a new lease of life, ready to go through the seasons in style. Besides, this service is not limited to tattoos. You can also opt for handmade designs, logos or patterns that are close to your heart. An ideal gift idea for those who wish to immortalize a memory, a message or a personal work. The company leading this project does not just enhance your clothes, it is also involved on a social level. The embroidery is carried out by specially trained employees in an integration workshop, thus promoting a return to employment.
Finally, the entire process relies on an app. Thanks to it, everything is simplified: a photo of your tattoo, a preview of the rendering, and a few clicks are enough to launch the order. The clothes are then sent by post, carefully embroidered, then returned to their owner. The name of the app? Ötzibrod, a nod to Ötzi, the man found in a glacier and considered the first known tattooed person in the world.
Finally, in terms of prices, it costs between 60 and 400 euros depending on the size and level of detail of the pattern, with a processing time ranging from two to four weeks. Note that written authorization from the tattoo artist may be necessary to reproduce an existing tattoo, a detail which underlines the seriousness and ethics of the project.
