Well there was an entry about this on Supertouchblog.com and Needled a few days ago, but it seems to have disappeared now- and I find it quite amazing.

Nike is (has, was, will ?) commissioned Scott Campbell of Saved Tattoo in Brooklyn to tattoo the above design as a back piece on a willing individual. The design will (would ?) be part of the USA / Nike's uniforms for the upcoming Olympics. The individual would also be partaking to be photographed in Nike's Olympic advertisement campaign.

While I have a general disdain for the commodification of tattoo art in popular culture, I find this one of the few times that it isn't tacky- but supremely cool.
