Little about Latin tattoo artists.
Latino tattoo art makes waves
Latino tattoo artists and studio owners are helping drive the industry's fast growth as the pandemic wears on.
Why it matters: Tattooing is a booming industry that brings in more than $1 billion yearly in the U.S. alone. Its popularity keeps growing — with estimates its market size will increase 23% this year — and ink artists are influencers on Instagram and other platforms.
Details: Latinos now account for 21% of all tattoo artists in the U.S., the second largest group after white non-Hispanics, according to data compiled by career site Zippia.
Context: A 2019 Ipsos poll found 30% of Americans have at least one tattoo and 36% of non-white respondents said they were inked (the poll didn’t include an ethnic breakdown).
Disney, where 27% of workers are Hispanic, recently changed its dress code to allow visible tattoos. https://www.axios.com/latino-tattoo-...8ce281d46.html
