Bummer of a Tattoo

[snopes]

This guy had what he thought was a great tattoo... until he wound up being sent to prison on an unrelated charge. Now he's...

THE MOST POPULAR GUY IN PRISON

[Barns & No Bull]

Body paint?

[Astra]

I agree, looks more like body paint to me.

never thought I'd utter this but those nipples look photoshopped

Perhaps I'm trying to think like Ryda but without the qualifications, but I wonder if the text that accompanies the picture implies that the pictured man is being raped in prison because the person writing the text (a man, I expect) feels uncomfortable at finding what is essentially a photo of a naked man interesting and perhaps even attractive, and so he feels the need to imagine the pictured man punished for creating this forbidden feeling.

Yup, body paint.

That's quite good analysis, I think.

That sounds too Freudian for me. The author may have found no offense in the "tattoo", but instead felt confident that that kind of caption would surely cause any person to pause and contemplate the suggested scenario. They were bold enough to attach the caption to an obvious example of body paint.

We know one thing for sure. That person was successful in getting their hoax posted by the admin/owner of the greatest UL website in the world.

"An unrelated charge"? What charge could be related to having the picture of a women tatooed (or painted) on your back? Indecent exposure? Appearing in the Super Bowl Show?

I assumed it meant the charge was not sex-related.

I'd never thought I'd say this, but that guy has a sexy butt...

whether its body paint or an actual tattoo, I think thats pretty damn funny, not to mention somewhat creative, I like how he used his butt cheets for boobs

I would have to search my email to see if I still have it but I've seen body paint pictures like this before & some are even better than this as far as "placement" of certain aspects!

Would that have been a painted elephant?

Looks like the work of Rudi Everts, an Australian body paint artist. His website isn't working but you can see some of his work here. He specializes in illusions.

Verdict: Body paint, with a joke as its caption.

I'm just a 13-year-old at heart, but some of these pics made me giggle as I mentally added my own caption:

A Fishy Smell

Breast Cancer

Feelin' Horny

Water Jug(s)

Thank you for that link, Cervus. I'm surprised how many of those I've seen online over the years. I find body paint art fascinating.

ETA: If you take a ride on Cervus' link, don't miss the hand painting.
