unfinished artwork (Tim’s tattooed skin) for €150,000. The work will be completed when Tim dies and the tattoo is handed over to its owner.

But for now, Tim is at MONA - Museum of Old and New Art and he has some stories to tell. But he leaves soon so you’d better visit MONA - Museum of Old and New Art really soon! With Discover Tasmania.
