This Is Not Merch
Inkonoclasm is for people who are tired of pretending their politics stop at the door. For people who are soft and angry and principled and exhausted and still showing up...
Our Manifesto
Inkonoclasm Is a Tattoo Design Brand With a Spine
Inkonoclasm is a queer-led tattoo design clothing brand built for people who are done pretending art, fashion, and politics live in separate rooms.
We work with tattoo artists and radical creatives to turn original tattoo-inspired designs into wearable statements. Artists are paid for their work. A portion of every purchase helps fund LGBTQIA+ organizations doing real, material work for queer communities.
This is not merch.
It’s alignment.
Why We Exist
Tattoo culture, queer culture, and feminist aesthetics have been mined for decades. The visuals get copied. The artists get sidelined. The politics get watered down until they’re safe enough to sell.
We’re not interested in that model.
Inkonoclasm exists to:
- pay tattoo artists for their designs
- keep artwork artist-led, not trend-led
- fund LGBTQIA+ organizations through every drop
- make clothing that says exactly what it means
No neutrality. No dilution. No pretending this is just fashion.
What We Make
We create tattoo-inspired apparel and accessories that are intentionally direct. Gothic lettering, handwritten scripts, pixel fonts, reclaimed language. Pieces designed to be worn casually and read clearly.
Some designs are loud.
Some are subtle.
None are accidental.
Everything is print-to-order, because overproduction benefits corporations, not artists.
Who This Is For
Inkonoclasm is for:
- tattoo artists and people who respect tattoo culture
- queer people who are tired of being marketed to but not supported
- femmes, bimbos, sluts, and political nuisances
- anyone who understands that softness and rage can coexist
If you’re looking for neutral basics, this isn’t it.
If you want clothing that reflects your values without explanation, welcome.
How We Move
Slow. Intentional. Artist-first.
We don’t chase trends.
We don’t scale at the expense of people.
We don’t dress things up in fake empowerment language.
Every drop has a reason.
Every design has an author.
Every purchase does more than just look good.
This Is Inkonoclasm
A tattoo design brand.
A political project.
A refusal to separate art from responsibility.
Wear it how you mean it.
