I wonder if these piggies understand what is going on? They’re a part of Artfarm, a collective of swine and tattoo ink. The Belgian artist Wim Delvoye worked with The Foundation Cartier on this recent project. Hmmm, it seems more like Artharm. Or should that be Artham?

Looks cool, but what a cruel thing to do to an animal – putting them through such pain. They wouldn’t understand what was going on. It’s disgusting and seems a little hypocritical coming from a vegetarian.

As good as it looks … is it cruelty to animals?

Horrible horrible. I don’t care if it IS art. Do you know that pig’s skin is ultra-sensitive? Do you know how many HOURS it takes to tattoo this kind of art? Nice art. Cruelty to animals!

This is disgusting. How can people subject these animals to such senseless pain in the name of ‘art’?

this is sick, how could anyone actually do that to those poor animals, you people are not right in the head. they must have been wondering what the hell was happening to them.

Definitely not very appealing to me, at all. Tattoo a human.

But, not to be too crude, what does the bacon taste like?

We’re discussing this issue in our classroom right now and find it; interesting, confused, creative, kinda cruel, cool, not sure, strange, stupid, disturbing and interesting designs but not sure about using live pigs.

It is disgustingly cruel to animals that can’t speak up to say no. i hope this idiot gets prosecuted.

I hate it!! They are PIGS, not dolls!!! They have feelings, they can feel pain. People are too blind, idiot, and selfish! I wish someone did the same to them (or worst).

Would it be less cruel to slaughter & eat them? Letting them watch eachother be killed. Im 100% sure the pigs were sedated since theres no way they would’ve sat still. These animals are probably only still alive today because they got inked.
