A lot of people have been asking me to explain my project to them because the article has them confused.
To put it really really simply, i am selling the ownership of my tattoos to anyone who would like one. With your new tattoo you will receive a photograph of it, a drawing of it, a written explanation behind the tattoo, and regular updates. For example, if i'm at the till in asda and the lady putting my shopping through starts up a conversation i'll tell you about it!
Like a song-writer sells their lyrics, i'm selling my tattoos.
I've read some comments that say my idea is "lazy" and "faux-intellectual".
Not the case really though is it? I think it's quite an inspired idea and after all, to quote Damien Hirst, "i am the artist and it is my idea, therefore it is art".
I designed the tattoos with MrF, and 2 of my roses were designed by a tattoo artist in Manchester called Rachel. I do not have £3000 worth of ink on my body, far far far far so far from it!!
Apparently i am in The Sun, a national newspaper, whit woo go me!
I've also been approached by a company who will help me spread the word and hopefully raise some more money.
