Issue 4 marks the one year anniversary of Things&Ink magazine, so we wanted to do something truly special with the cover. We decided to create our very own (tattooed) version of Millais’ iconic artwork, Ophelia, with tattoo artist Tracy D.
This was the most ambitious (and terrifying) shoot we have ever attempted, but I am sure you will agree that it was worth it, Tracy D looks hauntingly beautiful.
Check out The Art Issue, which goes on sale on Thursday, for more iconic painting recreations with our very own tattoo twist, along with art historical commentary from Doctor Matt Lodder.

We’re so happy we can finally share this with you, as we keep getting so excited when we spot Ophelia on billboards, as part of Art Everywhere.
