“Flashing teeth of class”
Multi award-winning designer of various Bowie projects, Jonathan Barnbrook, has taken the plunge and joined the ranks of those with a permanent physical reminder of David Bowie and ★.
Jonathan has kindly given us the exclusive reveal of a rather clever and classy bit of dentistry.

“It’s very nice to finally be part of a very special group of people who I have made friends with over the past few years, those with a ★ tattoo. I am very humbled that they show their love for David in that way and think the graphics worthy of it.
Bowie influenced me in so many ways, not only in the times I worked with him but also when I was growing up and hungry for new influences, so I like to think of this as ‘You are part of the words I speak, the language I use’”.

For those wondering how it was done, the tooth is completely new and the ★ was modelled in 3D software and then added at that stage. Then it was hand-painted for the finished effect.
