For Wall or Floor: The Love Tattoo Rug

072809tattoo1.jpgWe've seen this rug design by Sophie Conran (exclusively for CB2) in various catalogue settings showing it placed on the floor or hanging on a wall. We love the latter! One thing we haven't seen is it adorning a baby or kid's room...

 
 

072809tattoo2.jpgBluebirds, florals, and a giant heart "tattooed" with black and grey outlines, this reads as a design combo equally appealing to young and old.

The 5' x 8' Tattoo rug from CB2 runs $349.
• 100% wool
• 100% cotton backing
• Handtufted vibrant design by Sophie Conran
• Professional cleaning recommended

In my opinion it looks kind of trashy on the wall. Like the wall hangings you'd find at the house of a pothead biker or something. But I think it would look cute on the floor.

Megan - THANK YOU. Although I have to disclose, I dislike this rug entirely - but again I dislike tatoos, so there you have it. I think this rug looks pretty trashy no matter what. No sane normal parent would hang this on this baby's wall. Unless you drive a Harley, but somehow I don't see the Harley guys driving around with babies....

I'm a sane, normal parent, and I would LOVE this on baby girl's floor. We love her, we don't have tattoos or ride harleys, but I love the aesthetic of this. "tough love" rug.

i don't see anything "biker" or "pothead"ish about this at all...it's birds, flowers and a heart. Besides, tattoos don't equal bikers and druggies these days. I also know more people who drive Harleys that don't have tattoos than do! lol.
