Join us at "Pen Tests" for an experimental art exhibition & tattoo pop-up. Expect a playful exploration of value, worth, and human connectivity. "Pen Tests" explores the "accidental" art of testing a pen in a stationery shop with the "intentional" permanence of tattooing. There is a strange, unguarded intimacy in these anonymous marks -unfiltered, messy, and destined for the bin, they represent a direct, egoless expression of creativity. This project pushes the idea of "worth" to its limit, merging the disposable with the ultimate permanent. By tattooing these "worthless" marks onto the skin, the historical weight of the tattoo and the ego of the art scene is challenged. And momentary scribble is transformed into a lifelong mark to be valued, yet, in the same breath, they are still rubbish. From framed scribbles to skin-deep "hellos," join us for a celebration of childlike play, and the beautiful paradox of the pen test. Event: • Art Exhibition: View a curated collection of "pen tests". • Live Tattooing: Choose a "pen test" from our curated selection to be permanently tattooed for a small fee. M: 40 EUR | L: 60 EUR.
