3D tattoo by Jean-François Palumbo of Boucherie Moderne:
I got the idea for an animated tattoo when I remembered some little picture cards that came free with a brand of yoghurts I loved as a child. When you moved them, the image changed. As a kid it seemed magical.
I wanted to transfer some of that magic to someone’s skin, and so the scissors were born. Switch sheets of blue and red acetate over the top of them (or wear 3D glasses and wink alternate eyes), and the picture jumps to life: the scissors snip-snip-snip…The colours have to match the acetate for it to work, though. I use Premium Inks, which contain lots of fine pigment. I tested out different hues with tattoos I was already working on, and pinpointed the precise shades I needed. I also experimented with illustrations by making sketches and then manipulating them on a computer to see what would look most effective. (via)
