The Wellcome Collection are running a tattoo competition in association with Don’t Panic. The winning design will be tattooed live onto our volunteer, Caisa Ederyd (pictured above) at the exhibition.

We’re looking for a design to celebrate the Wellcome Collection’s ‘Skin’ exhibition, a show that invites the viewer to re-evaluate the largest and probably most overlooked human organ. One of the aspects we are interested in is looking at peeling back the layers of skin to discover what’s beneath – let your imagination run wild with the anatomical workings of your body. Organs, dissections, skeletons, guts, nerves bundles, veins – get your thinking caps on to illustrate what’s beneath our skin and display the internal on the external.

In her own words, Caisa advises: “I’d like it to have something to do with body organs such as hearts, lungs, guts and blood. This is because I think the inside of the body is interesting, beautiful and, sadly, because my dad died from a heart condition a few years ago.”

As well as the pride of knowing your design is tattooed on a stranger’s body, the winner will also win a year’s free membership of the Wellcome Collection Club.

Competition closes on Friday 25 June. For more details, and to submit entries, visit www.dontpaniconline.com/designbrief/skin
