Tattoo art for everyone: How Works on Skin changes the scene!
Berlin, Deutschland - On June 1, 2025, the art campaign "Works on Skin" was launched in Berlin, in which 24 artists present their individual tattoo designs. According to rbb24, the project aims to make art accessible to a broader public, especially for those that so far were skeptical of tattoos. The initiators, Annette Walter and Holm Friebe, would like to address a new target group with the project and make art accessible to Kunstaffine Academics around 40 or 50.
Holm Friebe, one of the initiators, has the goal of promoting art in the form of affordable editions that cannot be resold as soon as they are immortalized on the skin. This creates a new dimension of the art collection, which stands out from the purely speculative art market. Some of the participating artists come from Berlin, including prominent names such as Eva & Adele, Käthe Kruse and Jim Avignon.
creative diversity and uniqueness
The motifs of the tattoos are diverse and range from a bunny with a dumbbell from Bianca Kennedy to a blue dot from Via Lewandowsky, which has a ratio of 1: 110 to the height. Interestingly, buyers not only have the opportunity to acquire the tattoo, but also receive a license for execution and a transfer sheet for the tattoo studio. The prices start at 100 euros and rise depending on the sales figure.
A special motive that has attracted attention is the lettering "I’ll Never Get A Tattoo" by Daniele Sigalot, who is considered a kind of anti-tattoo and reflects the polarizing discussion about body art in society. The complete implementation of the works of art is only achieved by providing photos of the finished tattoos on the project's website. The income is also shared half between the artists and the “Works on Skin” team.
social acceptance and changes
The discourses related to tattoos and their social acceptance have grown in recent years. Observations show that people without skin decorations feel increasingly uncomfortable on beaches and in outdoor pools, while artistically tattooed people present themselves confidently. According to Süddeutsche , the perceptions around body art in society have not changed. At lakes around Berlin, passers -by observed a variety of creative designs on the skin, while children paint themselves with felt -pens before playing football.
The change in the acceptance of tattoos and piercings is also discussed in the anthology "The acceptance of tattoos and piercings in society", which will be released in January 2024. In this book, which is aimed at a broad readership from social scientists to lawyers, differences in acceptance between generations and cultures are examined, as well as the social and legal implications of body art in civil servants. The anthology also takes up cultural nuances of body art, for example in Indian culture and its spiritual dimension. artificial alter indicates that the acceptance of tattoos and their meanings are deeply rooted in cultural and religious contexts, which is an interesting discourse about opened the importance of physical decorations in different societies.
