A journal of skin art and modern culture. Published in editions. Built to be reread.

The Editions

A magazine, made permanent

ICONICA follows tattoo culture as it moves through the world it now belongs to. Fashion. Art. Design. Architecture. The quiet places where taste is made.

Each edition is a complete volume with its own mood and point of view. New issues arrive, then stay. This page becomes the archive.

Culture

Taste and the new language

The rooms where tattoos sit quietly now. Runways, galleries, hotels, late dinners, private corners.

Science of Skin

Surface, light, longevity

What keeps ink looking sharp. What keeps skin looking calm. The long view, told clearly.

Studios

Rooms that change you

Studios as destinations. Light, sound, ritual, and the calm precision of the modern atelier.

Collectors

Bodies as private galleries

People who collect work the way others collect art. Patient, deliberate, deeply personal.
