CultureWorks is offering “free” tattoos — well, free to those that donate $150 or more — as a permanent outward symbol that you support Richmond’s creative culture.

The tattoo design, three vertical lines each about an inch long, is copied from the earliest known tattoos ON EARTH (don’t worry the design is totally in the public domain).

Behold, the tattoos of Ötzi the Iceman:

The rationale behind the design:

CultureWorks believes that arts and culture must be powerful, enduring, and permanent parts of any community. In today’s world of quick and disposable, arts and culture are positioned to provide a lasting and forever amenity.

The tattoos will be provided by River City Tattoo Co.

So, who’s going to be the first to join Team Ötzi?
