(Las Vegas, Nevada, USA) The Guinness Book of World Records® certified a 98-feet long by 13-feet tall (29.9m x 3.9m) lenticular mural by Big3D to be the largest lenticular mural ever.

World-renowned tattoo artist Mario Barth partnered with Big3D to produce the record-setting mural. The stunning 3D lenticular mural was installed in the Mandalay Bay Casino in association with the House of Blues nightclub and restaurant in preparation for the grand opening of the Mr. Bart’s latest tattoo emporium.

 The lenticular mural by Big3D was unveiled on October 18, 2007 with representatives of Guinness Book of World Records® on hand to document its authenticity as the largest lenticular mural ever created.

The enormous 3D/flip mural is emblazoned with iconic tattoo imagery surrounding larger-than-life shots of Mr. Barth and his wife and head of operations, Carol.  Lurid colors recall some of Mr. Barth’s more vivid tattoo work, much of which adorns the bodies of some of the world’s most famous celebrities. The installation will remain while the tattoo emporium is under construction.

No stranger to record-setting lenticular installations, Big3D’s owner Tom Saville was particularly proud of the company’s latest achievement. “It was a pleasure to work on Mr. Barth’s Starlight Tattoo project. His desire to transcend the ordinary and create a truly stunning graphic display was a challenge I knew we could meet. I tip my hat to Mr. Barth and to the team at Big3D.com.”

Installation went smoothly and was completed in less than one day. When the half-ton crate of lenticular panels was delivered the morning of October 18th the installation crew overseen by Mr. Saville went immediately to work.  Approximately three hours was invested in preplanning the installation, using laser guides to mark the panel locations. Another four hours was spent hanging the panels in place. At the conclusion of the installation, representatives of Guinness Book of World Records® certified the lenticular mural as a world record.

World renowned and celebrity tattoo artist Mario Barth is the owner and chief tattoo artist at Starlight Tattoo, a premier international tattoo organization with four high-end tattoo studios and the online tattoo supply company called The Tattoo Super Store. Starlight Tattoo sells merchandise in 28 countries on six continents. The National Tattoo Association has named Starlight Tattoo “one of the best tattoo studios worldwide.
