Not many people can claim to be a walking work of art, not even Beverly Hills socialites who are more silicon than skin, but there is one man that has the right to declare himself an artwork – Tattoo Tim.
How are we so sure? Because he’s owned by art collector.
The creation of Belgian artist Wim Delvoye, Tattoo Tim features an original Delvoye work on his back that once he’s dead, is the property of Rik Reinking. He’s also required to be exhibited at his owner’s request four times a year, and in a coup for Australia, this year he’s headed to Tasmania’s Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) this December to take gallery-goers on an intimate tour of Wim’s work.
