Back in 2007, Design Miami featured a three day tattoo parlor furnished by DWR. Organized by Tobias Wong, Josée Lepage, and Aric Chen, “As Long As It Lasts,” featured tattoos designed by Hella Jongerius, 5.5 Designers, Yves Behar, Tord Boontje, Vito Acconci, KAWS, Juergen Meyer H, Andrew Allenson, and Lawrence Weiner.
Some photos on sallyTV’s flickr.
