# Gothic Girl Ink Etchings These Ink Art Portraits Feature Eerie Black-Haired Girls By Lacey-Jane Walsh | Published 2013-07-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ink-art References: [inspirefirst](http://www.inspirefirst.com/2013/06/27/ink-work-siams-escalante/) & [sayamis.tumblr](http://sayamis.tumblr.com/) This creepy [ink art series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inkstory) by talented artist Siamés Escalante focuses on spooky black-haired little girls. Each of these art works is done in the style of a portrait and each includes a little girl (or two) with big eyes and black locks. Though most of these ink art works are done entirely in black, a few have small, reddish-colored areas as well, which add to the overall [eerie vibe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/annabelle-cosmetics) of this series. In one picture, a small girl (who looks quite unhappy) is holding a shiny red apple. This makes me think of Snow White, but a more grim version. Another picture contains twins with [long, flowing black hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wednesday-capsule). Their hair-do looks much like the shape of a bat. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Creepy Ink Art:** Opportunity for artists to explore dark and eerie themes in their ink art creations. - **Black-haired Girls:** Emerging trend of featuring black-haired girls in art, creating a distinct and haunting aesthetic. - **Eerie Vibe:** Demand for art that evokes a sense of unease and mystery, opening up opportunities for artists to tap into the eerie vibe trend. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art:** Artists can leverage the popularity of creepy ink art and black-haired girl themes to create unique and captivating artworks. - **Fashion:** Designers can incorporate the eerie vibe and black-haired girls trend into their clothing lines to appeal to a dark and mysterious audience. - **Photography:** Photographers can experiment with capturing the eerie aesthetic of black-haired girls in their portraits, offering unique and captivating imagery for clients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Black-Colored Lip Tint Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/romnd-black-lip.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Anime Horror-Style Reimaginations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito-artwork.md) - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [Dainty Minimalist Temporary Tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winterstone.md) - [Online Tattoo Art Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackdot.md) - [Dark Abstracted Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-minyades-exhibition.md) - [Glow-in-the-Dark Temporary Tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-glowing-garden-tattoo-sheet.md)
