To celebrate the Wellcome Collection 'Skin' exhibit, Caisa (pictured above) wants you to design her a tattoo to be inked live. The winner will also receive £100, a free tattoo, their design on 60,000 posters, and a one-year membership to the Wellcome Collection club.
The Wellcome Collection 'Skin' exhibit is a show that invites the viewer to re-evaluate the largest human organ. From organs to guts, nerve bundles and veins, everything internal will be displayed.
Implications - Having come up with an ingenious idea to tattoo her body, Caisa would now like to find something she could with her internal organs. This is certainly an artist who is thinking creatively and without regard for what other people think. This is a really very innovative project that she has come up with.
