Results: Tattoo artist Scott Campbell offers free mystery tattoos through hole in the wall
Published on 08/02/2019
Scott Campbell, a well-known tattoo artist based in the Williamsburg part of Brooklyn, New York, has created the ultimate test of trust in his work: he offers free tattoos to people as long as he gets to choose the design and not show it to them until it’s done. He has his volunteers stick their arms through a hole in a wall to ensure total lack of visibility and there is no prior communication between them. If you agreed to be a participant in the project, you had absolutely no input in your new tattoo and you forfeited your right to view it until it was completely finished.

Campbell has said that he did this project because he likes to imagine the person he's tattooing, what they're all about, what their life is like, and what tattoo they're "meant" to have. For him, this artistic expression and this freedom to let his imagination run wild is worth the free ink. Do you consider this project art? Yes
