i really need to find an artist that looks at branding, (as in branding people so that they all look the same by giving them a tattoo or something) in their work...not sure if anyone actually does this...but if u know of anyone that even roughly relates to that rather poor description then please let me know
Not sure how helpful this will be, but Michael Landy created a corporate brand in scrapheap services (or something similar). I didn't know how broad your search was!!!!!
Also don't some of the elite armed services have tattoos??? or is that just necessary to complete a plotline in war films?
