Detail of the head: the model was coated heavily everywhere.

Yes, we did it! We made a session with the black permanent ink! And yes, it was VERY difficult to wash off! In fact the model had to walk around painted even after an intense attempt to wash it off :-) see a first glimpse of the session after I painted him like a tattooed full body suit.

2025-06-29 06:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostShall we do it?
I have to admit: I was in doubt. Shall we do it? Shall we show a naked pope that gets covered in paint? Isn't it blasphemy? But this project is about showing the world. And religion does play a big part in this world...

Marios body is now fully painted in canvas style and only on some parts you can still see the black spray paint. In order to let the paint shine more, I take pictures of Mario infront of a black screen. At the end he shows us his painted ass!
2025-06-28 06:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostMario still closed his eyes and therefore couldn't see that he was turned into a colorful art object!

I am lucky I was able to find this model. He embodies "The Pope" as much as I wanted. He is an organ player from Denmark.

We will be doing a very special Permanent Ink session on 24th of June and would like to hear your opinion: Which parts of my model shall we cover with the Chinese cleopatre ink? It’s difficult to wash off so it’s also your fault if the poor model has to walk around like this for days :-) Note that parts of the session will be live-streamed on Instagram so be sure to follow @neilcurtis or
WE'LL GO LIVE AND PAINT ON INSTAGRAM!
Hi guys!
Tomorrow tuesday 24th of june we'll go live on instagram and make a very special painting session! We are going to use PERMANENT ink and the result will be very difficult to wash off. We also plan on making a bike ride with the painted model AND YOU CAN FOLLOW US whenever we will go online! So please head over to the Neil Curtis INSTAGRAM page and follow us:
The cross of my grandfather.
I also wanted to use a special cross for the session. When my grandfather passed away, my grandmother gave me some of his clothes. I later found this cross in one of his suits. I decided to use it for this session to remember him too.

I start to close more unpainted gaps with yellow and blue paint. It's very messy now and the model likes it.

2025-06-20 06:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostIt's nice to see Mario getting soaked into the paint more and more...

The clothes were borrowed from a bishop and we had to promise to keep them clean.
2025-06-19 06:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe session is meant to be as authentic as possible.
That's why I wanted the model to wear authentic clothes and also behave in an authentic way. I am lucky I found this model and was able to convince him to be "The Pope".
