Geoff Ostling's Head-to-Toe Tattoo Masterpiece

Australian Plans to Leave His Body of Work (His Body) to National Gallery

From Buck Wolf, About.com

For 20 years, artist eX de Medici has been using Geoff Ostling's body as a canvas for one of the most amazing neck-to-ankle tattoo masterpieces ever created. Ostling plans to have his body sent to a taxidermist after he dies, so that his skin may be shown in Australia's National Gallery.
