Japanese luxury carmaker Lexus has teamed up with British tattoo artist Claudia de Sabe to produce this unique UX art car adorned with Koi carp ornaments.

The work took six months to complete. Claudia began by engraving the main ‘tattoo’ pattern into the white car body and then proceeded to colorize it and seal the result with clear lacquer. Golden leaf touches here and there finalized the art piece.


The exclusive SUV was created as a tribute to the Japanese Takumi masters, whose techniques Lexus takes advantage of when designing cars. It is not for sale, but the tattoo artist claims that its resale value would be no lower than £ 120,000.
