Art Farm

I saved this link a while ago but never posted it, because I wasn’t sure what to say about this art project of live tattooed pigs. I am finally posting it though because I like all the questions it raises for me — art vs tattoos, the validity of subjecting animals to pain vs subjecting ourselves to pain, the fact that tattoos seem ridiculous on pigs but not on humans, the proliferation of tattooed characters/icons people use to individualize themselves while inadvertently promoting mass ideas and/or providing free advertising for major corporations, animal cruelty, etc, etc. Anyway, thought I should post it because I do think it is interesting.
