Arty Tats!

By Kim Hastreiter

The other fun thing I saw at Art Basel was a collab that one of my favorite artists Tobias Wong did with writer Aric Chen and Josee Lepage in the Design District. These guys opened a tatoo parlor and convinced some artists to design tatoos that would be given on site for the four days of Art Basel. They enlisted artists like Lawrence Weiner and Kaws (see their tat designs above) as well as Vito Acconci, Hella Jongorius and a few others. Great idea!
