Prison Break – Body art

If your brother is in jail, will you get a gigantic tattoo and get yourself incarcerated so you can break him out. The prison break tattoo secret.

The engineer Scofield planned his brother’s breakout for a year. His firm was responsible for remodeling the prison where the brother is imprisoned. Blueprints of the prison and all the escape plans were conceived of as a highly elaborate upper body tattoo.

The tattoo was design by tattooist Tom Berg – the artist who turned actor Ralph Fiennes into a tattooed villain for the movie RED DRAGON. The tattoo was draw with a very comprehensive model with the accurate dimensions of Wentwort’s(Scofield) upper body parts, together with floor plans of the prison, and other imagery previously sketched up.

The design appears as a large gothic long-sleeve shirt, with the blueprints and escape plans hidden in and around scenes of angels and demons, yin-yang type of composition, where you have the good and evil both making up the same suit. The style of the tattoo is all in black and white, with lots of thin lines and find shading. The chest image shows a large demon, but also the prison’s underground network. The back shows a view of the prison from the air, and features an angel as the primary image. The sleeves of the tattoo shirt are a mix of clues and reminders, chemical formulas, and other elements necessary to the escape.
