We aim to unite in the tattoo industry to actively contribute to its growth and evolution. Our Association will consist of female tattoo artists, shop owners, convention producers, product owners, educators, advocates, and activists who shape the industry today. We will raise awareness for initiatives such as the Tat2 Edu Petition, which seeks to integrate tattoo art into school art history curricula, and a petition to standardize health department regulations for tattoos nationwide and eventually internationally. While we cannot halt the industry's evolution, we can serve as a valuable resource for the government, providing accurate information and advocacy. Our mission is to preserve tattoo history by promoting awareness and lobbying for necessary changes and regulations, while also addressing issues of equality and the inappropriate treatment of women in the industry, particularly concerning unethical apprenticeship practices.
