# Disappearing Tattoos Amanda Wachob Finds Spirituality in Her 'Bloodline' Art By Shelby Lee Walsh | Published 2009-12-23 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloodline-art References: [amandawachobtattoo](http://www.amandawachobtattoo.com/) Amanda Wachob is innovating like a champ when it comes to tattoo artistry. Her latest feat in the tattoo community is her symbolic 'bloodline' art. These tattoos are made without ink, but rather with distilled water. While these tattoos are not permanent, the shape of the tattoo represents something greater and deeper than just its image and it is said when your body heals from this 'bloodline' art, it absorbs the message of the tattoo. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Water-based Tattoos:** The rise of water-based tattoos presents an opportunity for tattoo artists to explore new techniques and offer temporary yet meaningful designs. - **Symbolic Tattoo Art:** The popularity of symbolic tattoo art opens doors for artists to create deeply personal and meaningful designs, connecting with clients on a spiritual level. - **Healing Through Tattoos:** The concept of tattoos that absorb messages during the healing process can lead to innovative approaches in tattooing as a form of emotional and spiritual healing. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Tattoo Artistry:** The tattoo industry can explore new techniques and materials, such as water-based tattoos, to broaden their artistic offerings and attract a wider range of clients. - **Wellness and Healing:** The wellness industry can incorporate tattooing as a form of emotional and spiritual healing, providing individuals with a unique and personal way to express their journey. - **Personal Growth and Transformation:** The personal development industry can explore the use of symbolic tattoos as a tool for individuals to visually represent their personal growth and transformation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Progressive Rewritable Tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-ink.md) - [Dainty Minimalist Temporary Tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winterstone.md) - [Palm-Sized Tattoo Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/temporary-tattoo-device.md) - [Tattooed Digital Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superlotl-by-inkbox.md) - [Interactive Tattoo Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inkstory.md) - [Hotel-Friendly Tattoo Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tattoo-popup.md) - [Vitamin-Infused Temporary Tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barriere.md) - [Online Tattoo Art Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackdot.md) - [Generative Art Tattoo Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackdot-1.md)
