pigs + tattoos? what theee..


Wim Delvoye is infamous for tattooing pigs, like in the picture of the Louis Vuitton print. Ofcourse animal rights activists have stepped in stating this is animal cruelty. Accordint to the artist, the pigs are living sculpture which Delvoy uses as an "art farm" and he guarantees the animals are treated fairly. Delvoye had tattooed 8 pigs when they were stil young and he is tracking his living canvasses if you will. Thes pigs are available to buy. You can either buy them live or wait until they die from natural causes to purchase their skin. (EWWW). One of the stuffed pigs is going for $171 000. That's horribly disgusing. <3
