I think I’ve heard that or a story similar to that before Or something like that happened in a film or something… (where people “cut off” tattoos and put them on display… or some crazy person collected them… I really can’t remember lol!) it is pretty creepy… I wouldn’t want anyone “owning” my tattoo!

btw thanks mike for the link to the NERDoffical youtube shorts ……I finally got to see a jump in action!!!

for any ink lovers out there check out this article…..a bit creepy actually…..

Still on owner, Virgin Mary tattoo fetches $258,000

A Swiss man has sold an elaborate Virgin Mary tattoo on his back to a German collector, with the understanding it can be exhibited three times yearly, a Zurich gallery said on Monday.

The extraordinary transaction – which gallery owner Jutta Nexdorf claims is the first of its kind – fetched 150,000 euro ($A257,880), with the other main stipulation being that the 35-hour work can be removed from the bearer’s skin upon death and handed to its owner.

The owner will also be allowed to sell the tattoo, created by Belgian artist Wim Delvoye and notable for depicting the mother of Jesus with a lifeless skull.

Proceeds from the sale are being shared among the gallery, tattoo bearer Tim Steiner and Delvoye, Nexdorf said.

The tattoo will go on show for the first time next week in Singapore and Shanghai.
