CG artist Loïc Zimmerman wanted a tattoo of his own design for years, but understood that a complex 2-D design doesn’t easily translate on the body’s 3-D canvas. So Zimmerman set out to create his own CG doppleganger, based on his own body’s exact proportions, to preview what his sleeve and chest piece would look like. The CG result is fabulous, but I’m holding my breath to see how his tattoo artist, Arnaud in Reims, France, finishes workin it in living, bleeding skin. Zimmerman says on the CG Talk board that there have been minor changes to the tattoo design for placement but the match to the CG design is very close.

Q: Hi, my name is Joseph, and this piece (the NvP First Kiss print—pictured above) stuck in my head from the second I saw it. I’ve been thinking, and I would love to have it stuck to my body as a tattoo. I was wondering if that would be possible. Thanks.
A: Hi Joseph! Thanks for your kind words. If you’re asking for my permission to use my art as a tattoo, you’ve got it. I’m incredibly flattered that you like my illustration so much that you would want it permanently on your body! Please send me a photo of it when it’s done. ^__^
PS. It may be easier to tattoo if you used the negative of the image, so here it is:
