Tattooed Suicide Notes

Man Tattoos a 1920s Psychiatrist's Last Wishes

— April 19, 2009 — Unique
This dark and twisted idea for a tattoo has got to be one of the coolest ever—I really love this idea.

Inked in the Adobe Caslon Pro font, this amazing typography tattoo depicts the exact content of a suicide note from a psychiatrist in the 1920s. It’s dark, amazing and utterly brilliant.

Implications - The consumer fascination with death comes from the concept of an ending, and the curiosity of whether or not there is more on the other side. Products that incorporate a dark element of death will allow consumers to look death in the face without having to suffer consequences, while also providing an element of scaretainment that the thrill-seeking consumer loves.
Trend Themes
1. Consumer Fascination with Death - Products that incorporate a dark element of death will allow consumers to look death in the face without having to suffer consequences.
2. Curiosity About the Afterlife - As the curiosity about whether or not there is more on the other side persists, there is an opportunity for products and services that provide insights or experiences related to the afterlife.
3. Scaretainment for Thrill-seekers - The thrill-seeking consumer market offers potential for entertainment experiences, products, or services that combine scare elements with thrill and excitement.
Industry Implications
1. Tattoo Industry - There is an opportunity for tattoo artists and studios to cater to the growing demand for dark and macabre tattoos, such as those related to death or afterlife themes.
2. Entertainment Industry - The entertainment industry can explore new avenues for scaretainment experiences, such as haunted attractions, immersive horror events, or themed entertainment that appeals to the thrill-seeking consumer market.
3. Publishing Industry - Publishers can tap into the curiosity about death and the afterlife by releasing books or other media that offer unique perspectives or insights on the subject.
