Need help with an art project!

“JESUS LOVES THE SISTERS – FOR 30 YEARS�


Hi! I’d like ask for your help carrying out an artistic project as a personal tribute to the 30th. anniversary of the Sisters. I want to capture your Sisters’ tattoos. Stunning examples of the Head and Stars are in abundance at every concert. They are evident on various parts of the body, there are several differing interpretations (old and new H&S, the scythe, etc.), in colour or black & white.
What I want to do with this project, is demonstrate how all you fans show your loyalty to the Sisters with your body art, by photographically documenting your tattoos. I plan to exhibit the result and hopefully even publish in book form. But in order to do it I need you and your tattoos.

Who am I?: My name is Bendine, I’m 35 and studied Art. My first Sisters’ concert was 1992 on the Loreley. My tattoo was done in 2001.
If you visit www.bendinehentschel.de you can see examples of some of my previous work.

I’ll be in Berlin on 1st. March and I’d love to take photos of you and your tattoos outside the “Columbiahalle� before the concert.

I’ll let your know more details in plenty of time as soon as I have more idea how many of you are are prepared to help and support the project.

If you’re interested and willing to help please send PM.
Gimme siren, Bendine

Please pass this on to all Sisters’ Fans! Thanks!

Welcome on board, Bendine. And good luck with your project.

Some would find me remiss in my duties if I did not point out the search function at the top. (Stop laughing.) There have been posts about tattoos previously, some Sisters-related. You then could contact individuals directly via PM for permission to use images.

As far as I understand the project target is not using existing images but making new shots professionally. Which might include equipment apart from mobile phones and webcams.

Good point. Still, it may pinpoint some of the HLers who have Sisters tattoos to see if a meetup (perhaps even not in Berlin) is viable.

I see that you have something posted at the Poison Door forum as well. That may be a more likely place to get subjects if practicallity limits your project to only those in Germany.

Getting in touch with HLers by PM via older on topic threads is for sure a good point, Petseri.



However, I'm sure there are people from all over Europe going to Berlin so I think it's a good idea to promote the project here as well.

I am curious who things will carry out - if there are not enough volunteers showing up in Berlin it might be necessary to add a photo session in Belgium.

- or I have to be tattooed as well since I live in the same city as Bendine does. Not quite sure whether I want to see my private parts in an exhibition though...

Not going to Berlin, but willing to share my Sisters tattoos though... (pics in decent quality)

Welcome and good luck! Nice site.

welcome!
got 3 sisters tattoos myself - the old logo on right side and the one on my avatar on left side + the new logo (which is mostly under my shirt).
i will be in Leeds, Brussels, Tilburg and Berlin (if i could get over my health problems which have lasted since the beginning of the year, at least i've got flights and tickets booked).

thank you for reception!
@paul: pity that you don´t come to berlin...
@pikkrong: nice tattoo!!!

hi
for that not everybody with a sisters tattoo will be in berlin I am about to make a "photography-trip".
As for that it is likely that I will be in England in the summer as well.
Is there anybody else who might be interested in helping me out-getting a private shooting?
And - where are the other girls with a sisters tattoo???

Nope, Bruxels, Tilburg and Lux only...

For all of you, who want to show up on impulse:
Meeting point for the photo session on March 1st is at „Zentralflughafen“ on „Platz der Luftbrücke“.
It's quite round the corner of Columbiahalle. I'll be there at 2pm.



In case of raining i'll be at an underpass right on Columbiadamm on the way to the Columbiahalle.
Looking forward to your tattoos and a great gig afterwards.

Hi!
I´d like to continue taking pictures of your sisters-tattoos
in London 13th November before the concert.
I´ll be at the roundhouse on sunday about 2 pm.
Just come around or better contact me before via PM,
then I can send you more informations.
One more idea is added to the project: I like to photograph your
sisters-leather jackets/kutten as well.
So if you´ve got one and want to perpetuate it – come around!

Everyone is invited to the exhibition „JESUS LOVES THE SISTERS“!
The vernissage is on march 23rd at 8 pm and the exhibition is open till april 27th.
The opening hours are saturday and sunday from 2 pm to 6 pm.
Location: GALERIA LUNAR, Kötnerholzweg 51, 30451 Hannover, Germany.

During the exhibition a slideshow of (self-made) fan things will be shown
beside the photographs of the sisters-tattoos and the portraits.
This is a link to some examples: http://bit.ly/yLPv5B
Do you have some pictures you like to give?
The quality of the photos doesn´t have to be brilliant for the slideshow.
It would be great if you sent me your snapshots.

This exhibition isn´t the end of the project.
If anyone else is interested and willing to help please let me know.
To publish in book form I need more pictures of your tattoos.
The next possibility for another photoshooting will be at the sisters-gig in Köln in July.

Greetings, Bendine

Well, it makes a change from 'Do you want to come and see my puppies'

No tatts here I'm afraid. Nearly got one when I was 17 but it was shut on a Wednesday afternoon and so I went down the pub instead (Wed afternoons was always 'sports afternoon' at college

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures, either. But hey, thank you for the link!

Those examples look wonderful already and I'm perfectly looking forward to your book ... ... ...
