Wim Delvoye is a Belgian neo-conceptual artist gaining some notoriety with the style of his art. One such project he has gotten a lot of attention over is his project on a Pig Farm in China. He tattooed death pigs as well as sedating breathing pigs too so he could dye their skin; for this artistic venture he traveled to China to avoid accusations of animal cruelty although he claims to be a vegetarian.
He has inked sculls, crosses, Louis Vuitton designs and designs connected to a pig's anatomical make-up. He has described the process of tattooing a live pig: "we sedate it, shave it and apply Vaseline to its skin."
