Yu-Chiao Wang | Sun Tattoo

A really cool concept thinked by Yu-Chiao Wang and inspired by the Moldy Body Object.
Sun Tattoo is a soft stencil which can be used for making the tattoo pattern on the skin by sunshine. It’s better to use it with sunless tanning cream.

Wim Delvoye
Posted by Fabrik | June 12th, 2009 Categories:

Wim Delvoye has been tattooing pigs since the 1990s. In the early 21st century a tattooed pigs project was set up in the Art Farm in China, where there are fewer strictures regarding animal welfare than in most parts of the Western world. In 2005 his colleague, artist Danny Devos, spent several months at the farm, reorganizing, managing and rebuilding. He is a vegetarian.


The extract below comes from yosotattoo:

Unusual contract

Delvoye started creating tattoos on pig skins from slaughterhouses and then began working on live pigs bred in a farm studio complex in China, using images such as the Louis Vuitton design and Walt Disney characters.

Steiner’s tattoo of the Madonna surrounded by Asian and African ritual symbols began as part of an art performance piece in 2006 and was completed in 2008.

De Pury & Luxembourg said the sale was an “integral part of the work itself” and describes the contract as a dissertation on the definition of an artwork, the art market and the ethical and legal questions it raises.

It includes a provision giving the collector the right to sell the work on again. The buyer is also insured against opposition by Steiner’s family who have signed a binding document agreeing not to intervene in any attempt to remove the tattoo after his death.

Wim Delvoye is born in 1965 in Wervik. Actually he works and lives in Gand, Belgium.

Kim Joon
Posted by In Vitro | July 16th, 2008 Categories:

Kim Joon was originally a painter interested in exploring the dynamics and tensions that exist between the mental and physical realms. Mr. Kim first became interested in the process of tattooing in college and while serving a three year military term in Seoul, Korea. During his time in school and the military, he began to give home made tattoos to his friends. When Mr. Kim gave these home made tattoos he used needle, thread, and Chinese ink. He would dip the thread into the Chinese ink and let it drip down the needle into the skin

In Mr. Kim’s current works, which the artist likes to describe as “paintings”, he uses water based markers to create the designs. His process involves taking a piece of sponge and covering it in a layer of traditional cloth that is used as fabric liner in Korean sewing. The lining is then covered with very transparent fabric, and painted two coats of a skin colored hue. He also layers on mediums and finally varnishes the surface to create a more firm appearance. Mr. Kim remains fascinated between the tensions of the mind and body. He is also intrigued by the concept of the permanence of tattoos as a vehicle for marking ones soul.

Mr. Kim says originally these works were created on a much larger scale, but the art viewers in Korea found them extremely disturbing. The artists says that now people are not as disturbed by his work.
