# Legendary Tattoo Artist Docs The New Era X Vice Grime 'Tattoo Age' Mini-Movie is Engrossing By Jordan Sowunmi | Published 2011-08-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grime-tattoo-age References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2011/08/new-era-presents-tattoo-age-–-grime-part-3/) & [theskullandsword](http://theskullandsword.com/) The New Era X Vice Grime 'Tattoo Age' [documentary series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gibson-films) follows the tumultuous career of San Francisco tattoo artist, Grime. The Grime 'Tattoo Age' features interviews with friends and peers of Grime, who discuss his indefatigable work ethic and commitment to his craft. Grime's work is considered among the most unique and oft-imitated in the [tattoo world](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inkstory). But the Grime 'Tattoo Age' does not gloss over problems the artist has faced in his personal life, including relationship trouble, suicidal thoughts, and general adult angst. One of the most intriguing parts about Grime's personality is the fact that he's so modest. Despite having a legion of his peer singing his praises and deriding artists who have stolen elements of Grime's style, he laughs it off and downplays his influence. The New Era X Vice Grime 'Tattoo Age' video is an interesting watch for fans of tattooing and non-fans alike. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Unique Tattoo Artistry:** The documentary highlights Grime's unique and oft-imitated tattoo style, creating opportunities for disruptive innovation in the tattoo industry. - **Personal Life Challenges in the Art World:** Exploring the personal struggles of a renowned tattoo artist opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in mental health support services for artists. - **Modesty and Influence in Artistic Reputation:** Grime's modesty amidst his influence presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in promoting humility and collaboration within the tattoo community. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Tattoo:** The documentary offers insights for disruptive innovation in the tattoo industry, particularly in unique artistic styles. - **Mental Health:** The personal challenges faced by artists in the documentary highlight opportunities for disruptive innovation in mental health support services for the artistic community. - **Art Promotion:** Grime's modest reputation and influence suggest opportunities for disruptive innovation in promoting humility and collaboration within the art world. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Generative Art Tattoo Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackdot-1.md) - [Online Tattoo Art Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackdot.md) - [Provoking Graffiti Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-ruggeri.md) - [Dainty Minimalist Temporary Tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winterstone.md) - [AI Tattoo Visualizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ink-studio-ai.md) - [Custom Tattoo Design Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-tattoo-generator1.md) - [Tattoo-Friendly Sensitive Skincare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-care.md) - [Custom Tattoo Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-tattoo-creator.md) - [Interactive Tattoo Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inkstory.md)
