The collection is part the French design site's first [curated exhibition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/icons-of-tomorrow), Eden ADN, which will be part of the St. Etienne Design Biennale November 22 through December 3 in Paris. Some of the images offer a political message on racism and sexism, others speak to societal notions of beauty, while a few are clever [pop culture commentaries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designers-of-tomorrow). Pure fodder for hipster ironic tattoos. THE RESET DESIGN TATOO COLLECTION IS NOW OPEN TO EACH DESIGNER TO BECOME A PERMANENT GALERY ON WWW. RESETDESIGN.
