A tattoo isn't just some ink. It's art.
This video will take about 40 minutes of your time. But belive me it's 40 minutes well spend! It's Directed by Ryan Hope. What you will be watching is that skin is a dark, stylish examination of tattoo culture as high art, and a film that tests the boundaries of art and the human body.I saw this film a while ago, and I must dedicate a post to it. Not only for the idea behind the tattoo's, but the way they see it as a form of art that will last forever.
The way this film is put together is awesome, music wise and the stories that these people tell and show. There is nothing else to say about this film. It will speak for itself.
Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons and Raymond Pettibon the frontiers of contemporary British art.
I would love to be a walkin painting some day! ;)
