My little contribution to Studio 360
On this week’s Studio 360, the fabulous weekly radio show hosted by Kurt Andersen, they’re airing a segment I got to see being produced when I was in Miami last year. During Design/Miami, Aric Chen, Tobias Wong and Josée Lepage created a tattoo parlor where they took the concept of limited-edition design collecting to the extreme. You could get a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork by famous designers like Hella Jongerius, Yves Béhar and Tord Boontje right there on your body. FOREVER.
While covering the event for UnBeige, I met Studio 360 contributor Tania Ketenjian, and I snapped a few shots of her and the buzz surrounding the tattoos. In the slideshow for this week’s show, Studio 360 ended up using one of my shots, the only temporary tattoo available, as modeled by the lovely Jill Singer, one of my editors at ID. You can listen to art collector Ronnie Pirovino get one by graffiti artist Kaws in the segment (that buzzing sound still makes me cringe):
