Permanent Pastizzi: Is This Malta’s Most Deliciously Obscene Tattoo?
There’s always a fear that comes with the unveiling of a tattoo – after sitting in the chair for all that time, who knows what the finished piece is going to actually look like?
Imagine that fear, but tenfold it, because you’ve asked the artist to permanently mark your body with a very graphic pastizz featuring a vagina in place of the piżelli.
Or, you could just not give an ounce of fuck because in the words of the artist behind this glorious piece: “who doesn’t love a pastizz or six?”
The ink came into fruition after Kim Cauchi, who you may remember as the artist behind Tattoos for Pride, did an art trade with a friend of hers.
“She came up to me with the idea of a pastizz tattoo and we just ran with it. It’s interesting seeing all the responses we’re getting from it.”
Honestly, we would love to see more pieces like this, the tongue-in-cheek of it all really has me, a gay man, with a hunger for piżelli.
Or maybe my next tattoo will be a very cheesy Wudy.
