Graffiti on the hands.

I wish I had the means, or at least open minded parents who could have let me study whatever I felt like at university, including art. That way you would have seen one less bitter poster on JT. This is strictly my interpretation of her art: blue eyes=white person, zipper on arm=enter body. In other words, "A white person may enter my bod.."

Would art be allowed in the local pool ?

So in order to be an "art student" you let somebody else paint on you?

Is there every a topic about body art, that someone doesn't make a smart aleck comment about Japanese bath houses and tattoos?
Simple, don't get tattoos.

Hand with eye alone would have been better. Often less is more.

I love the eye on the hand. That would make a cool tattoo.

But everyone wants to show their individuality so they can be like everyone else.

Agree. Not Original. There is another famous European photographer doing something similar much before This is borderline plagiarism...

Love the eye-hand coordination.

Strangely, I find myself looking more at the model than the art ...
