John Yuyi art
Permanent contemporary tattoo is nothing new since Tattly project run by famous design tank Tina Roth Eisenberg but Taiwan-raised US based artist John Yuyi taking it to the new level. "FACE POST is the artist’s three-part series and a nod to social media via her aforementioned, now-signature transfer stickers. The stickers are reminiscent of the superhero tattoos you’d get in those packets of “cigarette” sweets, applied with a modest dunk of water but maintained the staying power of super-glue – it’s this use of familiar objects in a witty way that gives her work its relatability." says Dazed Digital

Kozic’s photography, a body of work of disarming simplicity with a character all of its own, is inspired by fairytales and body ornamentation like jewellery and tattoos." via Yatzer

Tattooed Porcelain Figures by Jessica Harrison
Jessica Harrison proposes a multi-directional and pervasive model of skin as a space in which body and world mingle. Working with this moving space between artist/maker and viewer, she draws on the active body in both making and interpreting sculpture to unravel imaginative touch and proprioceptive sensation in sculptural practice. In this way, Harrison re-describes the body in sculpture through the skin, offering an alternative way of thinking about the body beyond a binary tradition of inside and outside.
