So what exactly is on offer once an accomplished tattooist becomes a
parent? With pastel rompers and neutral nurseries probably being far from
appealing, a group of tattoo artists has set about creating a range for
babies and children that reflects the lifestyles and tastes
of their parents (who regard the body as the ultimate artistic canvas!).
Ruthless and Toothless
is far from a shallow dip into wearable artistry. There’s a philosophy of skill-sharing and inspiring youngsters who may have a leaning towards tatoo-style art – formerly much maligned but now a legitimate artform gaining respect and adulation around the globe.
The site offers video drawing tutorials for kids to get them
started, as well as printable colouring sheets for kids to play
around with colour or create their own schemes.
As a teacher, I often avoid mindless colouring
books for kids, but here I can see real value as there is definite
skill involved in colour combining for specific genres of art.
Finally a colouring-in task that can be educational! See the
Kids Page for printables and videos.
Now to the clothing which I find extremely beautiful and definitely
a style my family could embrace. The bird dress takes
my breath away and that black and white onesie thrills me senseless. My
four year old loves the dragon onesie and for once, they
make them in sizes to fit my youngest boy who is huge – the largest
size in a onesie is 18-24 months! At US$32.99 they are well
priced so you can kit them out in head to toe R and T. Also available
are beanies, hoodies, tank tops and dresses, none of which will
break the bank.
Ruthless and Toothless
ships worldwide and is fairly new so you’ll need to check the site regularly for additions to the range and new tutorials for
the kids.
This concept has really captured my imagination as I’m
always on the lookout for edgy boys fashion. I think I’d faint dead
away with bliss if I received that awesome baby shower box full of
gear!
