Chola Tattoo

Chola[edit]

Chola style is often associated with wearing some combination of a long white T-shirt or tanktops, sometimes worn under plaid shirts, baggy jeans, flat black shoes, long hair, spiked bangs, dark or heavy eyeliner, and dark lipstick and lip liner.[1] Chola style has been identified as exhibiting "a radically criminalized femininity, situating them in the purview of official and unofficial policing as well as legal and extralegal sanctions." Chola style is perceived with less menace than cholo style, although it has been described as more directly challenging to the gendered expectations placed on women.[1] - From Wikipedia.

All we know is there’s an entire subculture of black and grey tattooers of Latin American heritage (Re: Mexicans) that have been producing their own style of badass artwork for decades. We personally love the style and the culture, we’d liken it to Rockabilly here in the South, it’s a style full of history that runs deep. A style you can take as far as you want, with the tiniest of details and slight nuance, we admire this artwork and seek to emulate it respectfully when requested to do so. Con Safos ~Lighthouse Tattoo
