One of the things I noticed when I did the body-castings for the sculptures was that it seemed that every person from Portsmouth had one or more tattoos. This spurred discussions regarding the history of tattoos in Portsmouth and I found out that there will even be a Tattoo Convention here this spring. Even though I decided not to go as far as Katayoun suggested: that I should actually tattoo my sculptures I instead opted to incorporate a tattoo design element into the enclosure part of the installation.
The tattoo, that is designed by Neil Hardcastle of warehaus studio specifically for my art project, contains the title of the exhibition and will replace the Adam and Eve Dürer silkscreen I used on the Pentagon for the " In My Secret Life - Det Stora Vidunderliga ".
