looks like sharpie to me... there isn't any redness or signs of irritation around the lettering that a normal tattoo would have. and also, I don't know of anyone filling in a tattoo without doing the outline first. What *if* the stencil would have rubbed off, was he just going to wing it for the rest of the tattoo.

obvious fake is obvious.

I was thinking about doing something similar, I had all my tattoo equipment out and prepared the stencil... and then as I was about to take the first photo I dropped my phone and broke my screen.


edit:
people beat me to it

a close up photo from a side on angle would show if its real or not but that much ink in a single sitting would require some seriously big assed mags.

im not saying it isnt real but
1. theres no sign of vaseline or bodily fluid (glistening from light)
2. there are no ink smudges as each letter was done or any fading of the transfer ( i dont know any tattoo artist that can work without ever wiping)
3. theres no inflammation at all (there should be quite a lot with that deep a black level)
4. no matter how good the artist is there would be blood with that much coverage

its lucky i dont have my equipment anymore otherwise i would have done a small one

in any case this competition isnt about if its real or not and as a logo display its awesome either way

Full size images would help as it is quite hard to see them.


Saying that, i see redness on the outline here:

I don't see it :/

but that could be faked with a red sharpie... just don't over do it like they did in The Hangover 2

edit:
also, there's no smearing of the ink when the artist wipes off the excess... doesn't matter how well you wipe it off the ink will smear all over AND the wiping will also cause irritation.

example:

hope it works, its a tattoo I did on my girlfriend's brother, notice the smearing of the ink and the redness around the tattoo?

That guy's back is way too clean.

Definitely a few good ones in here. I don't know how I'm gonna top most of them...

Guy got a giant tattoo on his back. Lets not belittle it by saying it is fake.
It would be worth the win regardless. Just for creativity.

Just don't break your ps3 with your new flasher. People are going to think you are the worlds biggest ps3 fan. It will look silly if you don't have one.

It would be all good, fake or not if he didn't wrote this at the end :

"and yes it fxxxing hurt"

The guy took the risk when he posted that pic to have it criticized. At least people saying the tattoo is fake and not the pic itself so it still qualifies either way.

I personally can't see that being real and is prolly already washed off. And who would blame him using a sharpie, as it would be real messed up to get a real tattoo done up for the sake of this contest. Maybe if the prize was like $10,000 sure, but over a flasher, yea right.

Well the contest is about creativity so thats all that matters
