For many Juggalos (fans of underground rap group Insane Clown Posse), especially the lifelong Juggalos, there’s simply no more ICP wear to purchase. All the ICP wear that’s been released in the past 20 years by Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope was swallowed up by them the minute it was released! And while it’s cool to have the collectible ICP wear items like concert shirts and album specific shirts, shirts are, temporary in the end.

No matter what ICP wear you buy, there’s nothing you can do to prevent it being lost or stolen at some point down the road. So what other ways are there to express your Insane Clown Posse devotion besides the usual ICP wear?

Answer: Insane Clown Posse tattoos.

There’s been a societal stigma against getting ink for as long as tattoos have been borderline popular. However, in the underground rap game, tattoos are not frowned upon in the least and are even highly respected as art. When you take a closer look, you can see that the few who still oppose tattoos in this world are mostly older folks who would never understand young culture or underground rap anyway. They certainly wouldn’t understand ICP wear or Insane Clown Posse tattoos.

So what kinds of Insane Clown Posse tattoos are out there? The sky’s the limit, really. Most tattoo artists that appreciate underground rap will draw up anything your mind desires, and if you go to a good shop, you’ll end up leaving with some Insane Clown Posse tattoo artwork you’ll be able to cherish the rest of your life. Comparing Insane Clown Posse tattoos at Juggalo events like Gathering of the Juggalos is way more intriguing than comparing your collection of ICP wear.

Underground rap artists often have tattoos of their favorite lyrics, poems, or dates that were symbolic to them. Underground rap artists that have heavy imagery in their lyrics sometimes get ink that visually represents their songs, and there’s no reason you can’t do the same for an Insane Clown Posse tattoo. An Insane Clown Posse tattoo that does that would be way cooler than any ICP wear item.

The most obvious choices for any Insane Clown Posse tattoo are the hatchetman, any or all of the 6 ICP Joker’s cards, the Juggalo face paint, or any of the other underground rap symbols that represent the band. A Google search for Insane Clown Posse tattoos will reveal all of the above, and then some. Interestingly enough, many Insane Clown Posse tattoos are done on body parts that are normally covered by baggy (as is the underground rap style) ICP wear.

Whether this means Juggalos are worried their Insane Clown Posse tattoos might cost them employment in the future is debatable, but at least getting an Insane Clown Posse tattoo on your back gives the largest canvas for them. Nowhere else on your body could you have the hatchetman, Joker’s cards, and face paint tattoos all in one place!

Many underground rap tattoos aren’t this multifaceted or large, and they are more visible than Insane Clown Posse tattoos on your back. Maybe there’s a different taste in tattoos among mainstream underground rap fans and horror rap fans, but it probably doesn’t mean much.

ICP wear and Insane Clown Posse tattoos will continue to grow in popularity as the band grows out of underground rap and into the mainstream, get yours before everyone in the world knows who Insane Clown Posse is!
