Tattooed Steel
Founded by a Los Angeles-based artist/engineer, Jared Van Orman, Tattooed Steel's line of artist-designed jewelry is a way for the tattoo-shy or wearable art-obsessed to get more images on their body. Designs by Rose Hardy are modern takes on more traditional designs (like those by her father, Ed) and range from angels to surreal images, like a flower and eye (pictured left). Other images include tribal designs and abstract tessellations, like Van Orman's "Mirage" (pictured right). Cuffs (available in different sizes) and dog tags start at $60 from Tattooed Steel.
