Shitpost-style tattoos are the latest trend, born out of a chronically digital upbringing that has given Gen Z a meta-ironic internet persona and an absurdist, self-referential style of humor. “Sex is great, but Fortnite is awesome” may be a funny meme, but would you want that permanently inked on your skin? For some, the answer is a resounding yes. Despite growing up on Kim Kardashian’s warning, “I don’t put bumper stickers on my Bentley,” Gen Z is one of the most tattooed generations. And unlike the earnest, symbolic designs favored by millennials (think infinity signs, flower pots, love hearts), they’re…

It’s always a good idea to save money, but even better to save it in plain sight. With this in mind, some fashion campaigns in recent years seem to have abandoned the setting, the story and the general creativity, settling for models sitting against a neutral background.
