If you grew up in the 80s and 90s, there’s basically no chance you were unaware of the Lisa Frank empire, consisting of colorful, whimsical stickers, folders, pencil cases, binders, backpacks and notebooks. Their tag line, “You Gotta Have It,” pretty much summed up our existence, after all.
Despite the loudness of her school accessories line, Lisa herself is very private about the company she founded at just 24 years old after graduating from the University of Arizona. However, that can’t stop us from carrying on her legacy forever — which is exactly what these 15 tattoos do.
