Matthew Cort and the inmates of Wormwood Scrubs Prison in London are the team behind this cow.
"There are over 60 separate tattoo designs on Tattooed Cow. About a third of these are copied from the bodies of the prison inmates, approximately a third are inmates own original designs, and the remainder are mostly exciting designs chosen and adapted by the group responsible for executing the work."
CowParade was included as part of the prisons art rehabilitation programme.
