Chester Bennington Strips Down for new 'Ink Not Mink' PETA Ad

Chester isn't shy about exposing the cruelty of the fur industry—or his body. He has teamed up with PETA for a brand-new "Ink, Not Mink" ad campaign in which he shows off his tattooed physique above the tagline "Be Comfortable in Your Own Skin, and Let Animals Keep Theirs."



Bennington—whose debut album with Dead by Sunrise, Out of Ashes, launched this fall—also sat down for an exclusive PETA interview in which he discussed the fur industry. "What's really important … for people to understand is the cruelty behind the fur industry," he said. "Electrocuting animals, skinning them while they're alive—these are … acts of inhumanity." Bennington continued, "Because it's out of sight, it's usually out of mind for most people, and we need to show our respect … for all creatures of this world."



Bennington, a co-owner of Club Tattoo (a chain of tattoo shops that opened its newest location in Las Vegas earlier this year), joins a growing list of celebrities—including Tommy Lee, Steve-O, and Carey Hart—who have starred in PETA's "Ink, Not Mink" anti-fur ads.
