Tattoo project – Jean-Luc Moerman

Ever looked at a painting, model or political figure and wondered where the tats are?

I often look at bare skin and think what a lovely blank canvas – and clearly so has artist Jean-Luc Moerman. He’s known for the tattoo technique he applies to iconic images in history – from models and political figures to renaissance paintings and the kamasutra.

I would love to speak to him about his motivations for undertaking such an interesting project and how he picks who/what to ink…

Tattooed Alice in Wonderland

Alice in Wonderland gets a rock makeover – with tattoos and Metallica t’shirt.

I couldn’t resist posting this picture. My name is Alice and I love tattoos, it’s perfect.

I bought this lovely iPhone case from the Brighton Tattoo Convention last weekend. The lovely Rachel McCarthy, from Modern Body Art, makes them and she will make a unique one for you if you order one. She sells lots of other craft-type things and prints, too. Of course her tattoos are amazing and she is another person to add to my list of people I would like to get tattooed by.
