The London Motor Museum will unveil its exclusive Gumpert Apollo tattoo car, inked by London-based tattoo artist Aleksy Marcinow and customised by the London Supercar workshop, at the Gumball 3000 rally on Regent Street on Sunday, 8th June 2014, as part of the Gumball 3000 rally.


Having studied fine art and wanting to compliment the curves of one of the fastest cars on the planet, the Gumpert Apollo, Aleksy took inspiration for the car's tattoo design from Japanese art and irezumi, an area he is currently exploring.
Elo, London Motor Museum owner and founder, commented, "The Gumpert Apollo is one of my favourite cars in the museum and it looks fantastic with its latest customisation - a car tattoo. I'm really pleased with the design and can't wait to reveal it this Sunday on London's Regent Street."
Tattoo artist, Aleksy Marcinow, commented, "I was very excited to work on something completely unique and one of the world's first. I've never tattooed a car before but it has many similarities to the human body, it had to be right first time and I had to work with the angles and curves in the car but at least the Gumpert Apollo didn't move or scream. I'm really looking forward to the reveal on Sunday and getting feedback from the Gumball 3000 visitors."
