The exhibition, in Salford, launches to coincide with Charles Darwin’s birthday bicentennial and has been developed With the expert assistance of prominent conservation charities and the artistry of tattooists from Ink Vs Steel.
The result of this unique work will be an army of ambassadors for threatened and rare birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, plants and fungi.
