Flash Cats

What happens when you give ten tattoo artists from around Te-Whanganui-a-Tara and Te Awakairangi each a tattooable sphynx cat made of silicone? The result is Flash Cats, an exhibition and snapshot of tattoo practices around the region. But rather than working on skin, the artists have been tasked with using a life-like cat as their blank canvas.

The artists part of this exhibition are Rose Hu at Buttercat, Ludo Mortuus at Saturnia Tattoos, Miss Crude at Enchanted Realm, Doc Hospo at Dr Morse, Ratbag at Studio Seaweed, Jade Te Whaea at Union Tattoo, Kaitlin Howe at Chimera Studios, Brad McIver at Stained Inc, Dan Hickson at Imperial Inc and Kyle Dyhrberg at Sinatras.
