These brave souls stuck their arms through a hole and let a tattoo artist ink them
Tattoo victim getting inked by #ScottCampbell at his performance art tattoo installation #WholeGlory currently in progress at Milk Studios NYC. From now until Sunday, brave passersby can sit in the empty chair, stick their arm through the glory hole in a 50-foot-long original painting by Scott, and receive a free tattoo of his choosing with no input or discussion by the victim. Only the brave need apply...

Famed tattoo artist, Scott Campbell, will give you a tattoo for free! There's just one thing you need to do in return...trust him 100%.
Campbell's latest project, Whole Glory, recently offered strangers free tattoos to participants willing to let him ink whatever he wanted onto their arms.
Apparently, lots of artistic risk takers were up for the challenge, so Campbell had an in-person lottery to choose the 23 lucky winners.
"I think there is a bit of magic there in the exchange, the drawing-a-card-out-of-the-deck dynamic."
Scott Campbell, New York Times
The tattoos created during this four day art installation in NYC ranged from decorative skulls, to snakes, eyeballs, roses, and a little bit of everything in between. Obviously, because Campbell is a very talented artist, the end result was always perfection!
