A Swiss man Tim Steinier has sold an elaborate Virgin Mary tattoo on his back to a German collector, with the understanding it can be exhibited three times a year.
The tattoo, which fetched $260,000 dollars, also allows the artwork to be removed from the man's skin upon death and handed to the owner.
The tattoo which took 35 hours was created by Belgian artist Wim Delvoye, who is known for his work which depicts the Virgin Mary with a lifeless skull.
The tattoo will go on show for the first time next week in Singapore and Shanghai. When he dies the tattoo will be removed and given to the owner..
I NEVER fail, i'm just SUCCESSFUL in finding out what doesn't work Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.
