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
