This amazing tattoo is the work of Anil Gupta, at New York’s Inkline Studio. Go to the Inkline site for a larger view of this piece (on its owner), and check out the rest of Gupta’s portfolio. I’ve never wanted a tattoo, but I have to admit this is really cool!

Home decorating with lost masterpieces

upix.jpg

Last year, two missing altarpieces by Fra Angelico were discovered in Oxford. You’d think they’d have been tucked away in a forgotten treasure room at the Bodleian or something, but no, they were hanging behind the guest bedroom door in a local woman’s house. If only she’d gone to the Antiques Roadshow!

The paintings are due to be auctioned April 19, so if you have a spare $2 million and space on your guest bedroom wall, go for it.
