Understanding the value of tattoo art as a vehicle to represent cross-cultural attitudes, Peter Mui pursued the concept of creating wearable tattoo art. For over a decade he has traveled the world, personally knocking on doors of the world's greatest and hard-to-reach tattoo masters to build up an impressive art collection representing the finest in every tattoo style, spanning Japanese Irezumi, Maori Tribal, American Traditional, New School, Biomechanical, and even rare work from a remote Buddhist monk in Thailand. These mastepieces are not only significant in their own right, but they also carry with them volumes of symbolic elements that are rich with cultural history.

Personally, I LOVE their designs. And I love that they have taken inspiration from beautiful artwork (apparently tattoo artwork) from all over the world. It brings a gorgeous freshness to athletic wear. I also like that they appear to use both vibrant and muted colors.

I have one of their tanks that I got on sale last year. The fabric is incredible. By far, the coolest (temperature-wise) item I own. I wore it a lot for indoor cycling classes where I always, always overheat and this tank helped a lot. I wish I could afford more pieces because they are excellent for someone like me who runs very 'hot' when exercising.

Crankin - mine was long on me too and I have a long torso, but I liked it that way.
