I just saw a quite shocking Art Documentry
 

About Belgian Artist Wim Delvoye and his Art Farm in China. Ok check this.....this
guy has a pig farm in China where tattoes pigs. He calls them growing art
projects.....after x amount of years the pigs get killed and get deskinned.
The piggies skin then is treated and framed to be sold as art.

The pigs while alive are being pampered.....kept very kleen, good food, skin
treatment....they even have guys that run around 24/7 to chase flies away
from the pigs :1orglaugh

All kinds of different themes passed by.....crusifixes, traditional japanes tattoo
styles, tribals and yes even Louis Vuitton's trademark.

Perhaps I can sell my skin now and get tattoed by this guy so that when
I die....he can sell my skin......perhaps a good way to get money now :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Anyway I couldn´t resist sharing this with the Sunday GFY crowd.

thats interesting, thanks for sharing

poor pigs. That is very sad. I'm sure it hurts as hell!

Seems like a waste of ink to me. But if you want some pig skin hanging in your house, go ahead.

Good chance it doesn't, they have much thicker skin than humans do, but even if it does hurt a little:

"The pigs while alive are being pampered.....kept very kleen, good food, skin

No it doesn't hurt, Each pig has 1 tattoo session per week and while he's
getting tattoed he is tranquelised lightly so they won't notice that they are
getting tattoed. They looked quite "happy" while getting tattoed :1orglaugh

thats good, because there are a lot of pig jokes

when people learn tatooing some people practice on pig skin cause its like human skin

:1orglaugh

seems like a good deal if your a pig.

How would they chose the designs for the pigs.....it would be cool if they did
it based on the pigs "Personality". Now that I think of it.....I should just buy
one before it's getting killed and keep it as a pet.....I would defenitely have
the coolest pig of da hood:1orglaugh Spikey collar and shades....I would just
walk with it on the streets....like it was a dog :thumbsup

They would make great gifts too.....I'd buy my mom a Louis Vuitton Pig for her
Birthday it would be perfect.....she doesn't even have to carry it.....it just
walks along......and she'd defenitely steal the show in the malll with it :pimp

it has been my lifelong ambition to tattoo a pigs ass.

I'd rather have the pig slaughtered for meat to eat than waste my time tattoing them

So, did you ever think of puting an ad on their body and earning from it as well? :pimp

Now that gives "animal branding" a whole new meaning.

thank you for sharing that valuable info.

i have mixed emotions. i am quite amazed by this work of art but i feel sorry for the pigs, too.. anyway, at least the pigs died serving a higher purpose.

seem pretty human, their skin is so think, if you've ever been to a pig roast you'll know it!

I know a few tatooed pigs...

them's gotta be da coolest pigs in town:winkwink: :thumbsup
