To date, the first tattoo was found on Egyptian mummies buried almost five thousand years ago. Although many empires have fallen during this time, five millennia later, tattoos continue to be part of the identity of millions of people on the planet.
Neither culture nor geographic locations have been able to stop people from participating in this multimillion-dollar industry. But what does the future hold? Is it the end of tattoos in times of metaverses and NFTs? Will they continue to grow or get buried in the metaverse and NFTs industry?
This is how Tattoos will exist in Metaverses and NFTs
We are walking into a completely digitized future filled with connections, where tools like the metaverse allow us to change and customize our appearance to our liking. From clothing, shoes, and eye color to aspects like our name and our identity, everything can be customized according to our beliefs. But we can’t help but ask ourselves about tattoos and their place in this space.
Alejandro Rincón is a Colombian artist who seven years ago in his grad project proposed an innovative idea. It involved modifying dolls with tattoos, piercings, hairstyles, and other accessories to display a message about the homogenization of people’s bodies and the constrained freedom that societal standards offer.
At the time, he received the attention of several art critics who evaluated his work and applauded his idea. But Alejandro’s question about identity and expression grew beyond his studies and multiplied when the metaverse and new technologies began to become a new possibility for his art.
That’s when he joined a group of other great minds to build the first tattoo shop, Metadolls, in the metaverse. By offering the possibility of customizing your avatar in the space, you allow people to bring more of their identities and personalities, which translates in a more creative and personalized world. Metadolls are the latest way to showcase your true self through tattoos and piercings in the metaverse.
What is Metadolls, and how is it related to Tattoos and Freedom?
In order to grow a community of lovers who promote the first tattoo shop in the metaverse, Metadolls will launch its first NFT collection characterized by creating links with lovers of tattoos, freedom, art and customizing their body.
This collection will include 7000 hyper-realistic 3D dolls, created by Alejandro Rincón, and will be available on the Ethereum network from December 2022. The first members will be able to access special events that will take place in different places around the world where art, music and tattoos will come together.
