“Wim: I started tattooing pig hides, which I’d get from the slaughterhouses, in 1994. It was only in 1997 that I started to work on live sedated pigs. I tattoo pigs because they grow fast and they are so much better to tattoo than fish. I tattoo them when they are young and I like the way the artwork stretches and distorts over time. Essentially, we invest in small tattoos and we harvest large paintings. Yes, I am a vegetarian.”

hm… is the pig-tattooing for real? don’t want to create a fuss here, but if it is then it’s just stupid and cruel, not Art.
