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…
