Tattoo artists from all over the world travelled to London for a 3 day Tattoo convention. I’m not sure if convention is the right word as the incredibly talented people seen here are far from conventional. The wide range of artistry translated onto the human form is nothing short of remarkable. Anyone who perceives tattoos as a ‘fad’ is very much mistaken. Paying tribute to tattoo art tradition, from Polynesia through to The Royal Navy, my personal favourites were:
Corazon Tattoo Jacqueline from Luzern in Switzerland is most well known for her Tribal tattooing. She is one of very few given permission by New Zealand elders to do this, and in every tribal tattoo of hers is a special symbol given to her by elders that represents the hills in Switzerland.
Frith Street Tattoo A fairly new parlour in London that does a lot of Mexican and traditional inspired pieces including Roses and Mexican day of the dead skulls.

SEDUCED, currently showing at the Barbican in London, explores sex in art from Antiquity to now. The exhibition allows you to open your mind to all that sex emulates. Lust, love, procreation, homosexuality and tradition. You are taken on a journey from 16^th century  art of the Greek Gods, sculptures and drawings of the naked form through to modern day works from the likes of Tracey Emin. Her work of pink neon text simply states, ‘Is Anal Sex Legal? Is Legal Sex Anal?'
Artists have constantly been creating works that represent the intimate act of sex and continue to push boundaries with the purpose of forcing us to ask more questions ourselves and bring us face to face with the various lights in which people view sex. As for what is acceptable today in regards to sex in art, that’s for you to decide.
