Michael Jackson This Is It

The Michael Jackson This Is It DVD was released today. It appears to be selling like crazy on Amazon and other sites that carry DVD's. It was a worldwide phenomena in theaters and Michael Jackson fans worldwide are ordering it to have as a permanent memory of Michael.

To go along with the DVD the ultimate Michael collectible is the Mission Clothing Red Lion shirt design that Michael wears in much of the movie. TattooApparel.com has carried the authentic shirt design from Mission Clothing for some time and it has been in high demand with Michael fans all over the world. TattooApparel.com does have the shirt available now in sizes Small through XXL. Perpetual Vogue/TattooApparel is the preferred retailer for Mission Clothing and they act as the retail location for the brand. It can be ordered from their site or if you prefer shopping on Amazon then you can order the shirt from the Tattoo Apparel Amazon store. To be sure that you receive the authentic shirt from Mission Clothing like the one that Michael wore we do suggest purchasing from the Tattoo Apparel web site or their Amazon store. We have heard reports of knock off shirts being available elsewhere and know that a true MJ fan is going to want the real thing (not a fake) to add to their collection.

Michael can be seen wearing the shirt in the YouTube video clip below:

Red Chapter Clothing including rare, retired designs available now

TattooApparel.com and our retail store Perpetual Vogue were among the very first retailers to embrace the Red Chapter line of Ambigram Shirts. As one of the first retailers we had a vision for and belief in the line that made us make sure we had ample stock of the many designs rather than being tentative like other retailers often are with newer lines. Our belief has paid off in that we are now one of very few places where some of the more rare, retired Red Chapter shirts can be found. Red Chapter was such a hit that they sold out of stock on their own site long before the Holidays.

We spoke recently with the designers at Red Chapter. They are busy creating new ambigram designs for shirts that will be available a few months from now. They may recreate some of the previous shirt designs and they may not. They seem to like the idea of some of their artwork designs being limited to a small number of pieces owned and worn by a priveledged few. We have several Red Chapter designs available now for both men and women. Some when sold out will never be available again so now is the time to pick up one of these Illuminati tattoo art design ambigram shirts.

Currently available are Angel/Devil, Saint/Sinner, Angels/Demons, Faith/Hope, Get Rich/Die Trying, Death/Glory, Love/Hate, Loyalty/Respect, Bravery/Betrayal and Salvation/Damnation.

Gasoline Glamour Custom Leather Vests, dress like a Rock Star

Have you ever wanted to own a custom made piece of clothing like you see worn by Rockers on stage? Now is your opportunity. TattooApparel.com has begun offering the custom made, one of a kind Leather Halter Vests that are hand made by the designers at Gasoline Glamour.

We have been offering the jewelry designs from Gasoline Glamour for years and have worked closely with the designer there to collaborate and have many exclusive pendants made for our Rocker Jewelry line. We know the quality of their work and are pleased to be offering our customers the chance to own a one of a kind piece of Rocker clothing.

We currently have 12 sample designs shown on our site in the Gasoline Glamour Leather Vests category. The photos seen there are existing sample vests on our models. These vests are items that have been used for Red Carpet events, Celebrity Photo shoots etc. When you order your own custom vest from one of the item pages on our site a new One of a Kind Leather Halter vest will be made for you in the same theme. It will be made of the same type of leather colors with similar detailing but since each item is completely hand made no two are ever going to be exactly alike. Our models had a great time at the photo shoot we recently had for these amazing vests. The vests may also be ordered from our Retail Store location, Perpetual Vogue in La Habra California.















You can see a behind the scenes video from the Photo Shoot here:

The Holidays are fast approaching. If you are shopping for the Rock Star or Rock Star wannabee on your list we have some great suggestions.

The Jimi Hendrix Black Velvet Stage Coat is a reproduction of a coat out of Jimi's actual stage wardrobe. It is a big hit with guys in bands or anyone into the club scene. Speaking of guys in bands we also recommend woven shirts from Fender and the Hendrix Collection. For guys that are into tee shirts but want something different with some stage presence the Ambigram shirts from Red Chapter and entire line of long sleeve tees from Mission Clothing are always a hit with the fashion savvy guys.















For Rocker gals nothing beats a sexy tunic over leggings. Or how about a Marilyn Monroe style dress - what could be classier or sexier!
















The Mission Clothing Lion Shirt that Michael Jackson wore in This Is It is very popular this season for guys and gals alike.



For guys and gals alike Rocker Jewelry is a hit for both stage wear and every day wear.

Perpetual Vogue - Tattoo Apparel becomes preferred dealer for Mission Clothing

TattooApparel.com has carried several designs of men's shirts each season from Mission Clothing for the last several years. We are pleased to announce that we have agreed to start making their entire line available to both our online customers and our Perpetual Vogue retail store customers.

This week we added several of their new styles to the Mission Clothing category on TattooApparel.com . We will be doing a photo shoot with our models sometime in the near future to photograph the rest of the line and will then add all of the items onto the web site so our customers all over the world can have access to his edgy California based clothing line.




Mission Clothing speaks to the guy that wants unique edgy wardrobe pieces that are not the same as what everyone else is wearing. The styles have tattoo art influences but are also heavily influenced by Mythology and Mystical idealogy. The designs often combine modern and mythological designs together for a very unique look that tells a story. Each garment is hand processed and many have detailing that includes specialty washes, embroidery, metal studding, rhinestones or touches of foiling to catch the light.

They fill a real niche in mens fashions as they look nothing like the overdone styles from Ed Hardy or Affliction yet Mission Clothing designs will appeal to a guy that has liked either of those very different types of brands in the past but is now looking for something new and fresh. Mission Clothing is made in the USA which is something to be proud of in the fashion world these days.



While Mission is a Mens Clothing line we have many female customers that like to wear their long sleeve tee shirts or fitted woven shirts over leggings for that edgy menswear look.

The new hoodies that are available now have some great designs and the fabric is oh so comfortable.

Shirt worn by Michael Jackson in This is It

The King of Pop continues to break more records since his unfortunate death. The CD, This Is It, seen in the above photo from Amazon is a top seller on Amazon and other sites. The movie, This Is It is bringing in big crowds during its limited release.

We were surprised a week or so back when we started receiving phone calls from customers asking us for the Red Lion Shirt that Michael Jackson wears on stage in This Is It. There are also several photographs of Michael wearing this shirt in the booklet that comes with the music CD. A local customer who had seen the shirt in our retail boutique in the past came in looking for it but we were currently sold out of them. We viewed the photos to see which shirt all the excitement was about and found that it is indeed a shirt from one of our favorite designer brands, Mission Clothing. It is the Mission Red Lion Shirt.

We went to visit our friends at Mission Clothing in their design studio on Monday and shot some video of the Mission Red Lion shirt that they have framed in the studio. We will have this shirt back in stock in the very near future and are offering it on TattooApparel.com now on a presale basis as the shirt will be in limited supply. This is a chance for Michael Jackson fans to own a piece of clothing that is the same shirt design (designed, owned and trademarked by Mission Clothing) that Michael owned and wore on stage. It also makes a fabulous gift for any fan of the King of Pop - much better than just owning a t-shirt with Michael's photo on it , this is the actual shirt like what Michael wore.




Presale going on now at www.TattooApparel.com
