Tormented Artifacts

Tormented Artifacts leather Butoh maskAn imaginative little smorgasboard of wearables and curiosities fusing occult experimentation with steampunk exploration and just a touch of cyber. Leather masks dip into pagan and fantastical themes, getting absolutely insane in the gasmask section. Other accessories include tribal-futuristic bondagey gauntlets and eyepatches and elegant pendulum necklaces. And the art pieces are just fun: arcane boxes and books and scrolls and blades, an elixir case with a couple of “missing” potions, fossils and skulls from ancient monsters. Quite a bit of one-of-a-kind here, and custom is welcome.

Junker, Dax Savage, Rockin’ Bones, Angel Court, Serious Dandies, Black Market, Bootleg, S&G, Gasoline Glamour, Sweet Bird, Antiseptic’s posture collars, and Universal Studios’ Monster tees comprise the lineup, along with Forgotten Saints’ own line of tees.
