dedicated thousand

We are creating The Dedicated thousand, an animated film made of a 1000 tattoos. The film brings an inspirational message to inspire people to create a more sustainable lifestyle. The 1000 people who carry this message on their bodies for the rest of their lives are THE DEDICATED THOUSAND. They take small and realistic steps towards a more sustainable way of life. Together they create impact and they are an inspiration to others.

We invited top notch tattoo studio Bunker Tattoo to collaborate in the project.
