Bringing tattoos, piercings to the mainstream
09.02.12
Tsawwassen may not be a Mecca for the tattooed and pierced community, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a market for body jewelry and ink-inspired clothing. “We’re trying to break down the stereotypes placed on the tattooed and pierced lifestyle,” said store owner Lisa LaFauci, a Tsawwassen resident. In fact, the store made its very first sale to a senior citizen who bought himself a plaid button-up shirt by Sullen—a clothing line designed by tattoo artists. Culture Craze is the latest retail store to move into the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall. But Culture Craze is by no means limited to just inked and pierced customers. “We want everyone to come in and see us. It doesn’t matter if you’re young or old,” LaFauci says.
