# Marvelously Macabre Apparel The Suddenly Sudden Bloody Tank Top is Vampire Chic By suddenly sudden | Published 2011-12-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloody-hand-painted-tank-top References: [suddenlysudden.blogspot](http://suddenlysudden.blogspot.com/2011/10/suddenly-bloody-tank-top.html) & [suddenlysudden.blogspot](http://suddenlysudden.blogspot.com) Looking to make simple, yet unconventional apparel, Suddenly Sudden has created this DIY, hand-painted Bloody Tank Top. The blood itself is actually textile paint and is hand painted directly onto the top. The creator feels it is a funny, tastefully gory addition to any wardrobe. Suddenly Sudden suggests some prank ideas as well, encouraging users to eat something with lots of ketchup and smear it on the face and neck when wearing the top, lending to a vampire-esque just-bit-someone look. Since it is hand painted, the Bloody Tank Top will always be a truly one-of-a-kind piece. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Hand-painted Apparel:** Hand-painted apparel offers unique and personalized fashion options. - **DIY Fashion:** DIY fashion allows individuals to express their creativity and create one-of-a-kind pieces. - **Gory Fashion:** Gory fashion adds a macabre and unconventional twist to clothing designs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can explore hand-painted apparel as a disruptive innovation to offer customers unique clothing options. - **Crafting Supplies:** Suppliers of textile paint and other crafting materials can benefit from the rise in DIY fashion trends. - **Halloween Retail:** Halloween retailers can capitalize on the popularity of gory fashion by offering special clothing lines during the holiday season. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dark Vampire-Series Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vampire-slayer-collection.md) - [Limited-Edition True Crime Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/serial-killer-shop.md) - [Coagulating Lip Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-of-death-lip-oils.md) - [Gruesome Horror Film Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blood-bubbles-soap.md) - [Fake Tomato Sauce Blood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heinz-tomato-blood-ketchup-1.md) - [Vampire Slayer Makeup Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vampyre-cosmetics.md) - [Crocheted Rose Garden Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tyler-mcgillivary-vines-tank.md) - [Horror Manga-Inspired Graphic Tees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-and-junji-ito.md) - [Bold Anime-Inspired Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geeks-rule-hellsing.md)
