Peel Slowly & See

There are ways to create a media frenzy for the launch of a product and there are ways to create a media frenzy for the launch of Dasha Zhukova's new art magazine Garage, titled after her successful gallery space, Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Moscow. Photographed by designer Hedi Slimane, the provocative cover of the art world's new publication sees the bottom half of model, Shauna Taylor with a tattoo designed by Damien Hirst on her vagina. Inked by London-based tattooist Mo Coppoletta at The Family Business Tattoo Shop, Miss Taylor loves the trademark butterfly design by Hirst,

"I would have been stupid not to be part of this project. I have a piece of art on my vagina. Not one person can ever say that they gave birth through a Damien Hirst piece of art. I can".

That you can Shauna, that you can.

Garage No. 1 Magazine will debut later in the year with two more exclusive covers by Dinos Chapman and Richard Prince who will be competing with a naked model's vagina seductively covered by a large butterfly sticker once the issue hits newsstands - get back to the drawing board lads.
