You can tattoo a pig, but it's still a pig
As CNN reports, a Belgian artist in China is giving pigs tattoos of mermaids, roses, cherubs, and the Louis Vuitton logo.
The pigs get sedatives before they go under the needle and are carefully raised until their natural deaths. The artist has been inspired by China's rampant piracy of everything from DVDs to Paris's latest fashions (i.e., the LV logo).
Video cameras will allow collectors (who may purchase the post-mortem pigskin art) or anyone else to watch the tattooed pigs cavort and sleep live on the Internet, a program dubbed "Pig Brother".
