“Ryan Hope’s debut film, Skin, is a documentary that tests the boundaries of art and the human body, Skin is a dark, stylish examination of tattoo culture as high art.

Featuring contributions from Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons and Raymond Pettibon and in association with Dasha Zhukova’s Garage Magazine, the film is a beautiful visual essay from the frontiers of contemporary British art.”

Director Michael Hurley put together this clip for Inked Magazine entitled ‘A Day with ZOMBIE BOY’. It’s a behind the scenes look at a fashion editorial that was shot featuring ZOMBIE BOY.

Issue 14 of Schon Magazine goes in deep with heavily tattooed male model Rick Genest aka Zombie Boy. As part of the feature, they cover his face with skin colored makeup, giving the viewer a glimpse of what Rick’s face would look like sans-tattoos, amongst several strong editorial shots.

Tobias Wong and José Lapage (a regular curating duo) have teamed up with Aric Chen ( a highly regarded design journalist) to produce a temporary tattoo parlor during Art Basel Miami titles “As Long As It Lasts”. The tattoos will be permanent, so you better think about it before going for it. But it will be a tough choice, as the line-up of artists is impressive – Vito Acconci, Kaws, 5.5 Designers, Yves Behar, Hella Hongerjuis and many more. If you ever wanted one of Kaws’s characters somewhere on your body, now is the time.
