Man gets 'summer ready' by getting intricate six-pack tattooed on his stomach

A bloke has got 'summer ready' and achieved a rippling six-pack without ever stepping foot in the gym - by getting abs tattooed onto his stomach.

The story was shared on TikTok by the tattoo artist, 34-year-old Dean Gunther, who said the customer wanted a toned stomach and had been working out at the gym for years.

But the man had never seen the gains he was after, so he turned to Dean, who is a travelling tattoo artist from South Africa currently residing in Manchester.

Together they came up with a plan and etched out a series of impressive-looking abs onto the man's stomach - and the end result was incredibly impressive.

It looks quite convincing from a distance (dean.gunther/TikTok)

What do you think about the tattoo abs? Let us know in the comments...

Speaking previously, Dean said: "I had seen really bad ones attempted before. Because I specialise in colour realism I wanted to give it a go.

"I thought it would be funny as hell.

"The client nearly quit one hour into it on the first day but we got there."

Dean said that he didn't charge the customer for the tattoo as it was more of a passion project for him.

Some fans didn't believe the tattoo was real, so Dean shared a video of the amusing inking on TikTok and soon he was inundated with comments.

One follower said: "Please tell me this is a joke?"

And another wrote: "Bro ain't no way."

Then a third commented: "If you can't tone it tat it."

Meanwhile, a woman who loves altering her appearance with tattoos and piercings has paid £4,000 and had her teeth filed down so she can have white gold fangs installed.

Amber Luke once had a more traditional appearance with long blonde hair which she complimented with makeup, but her style has changed somewhat over the years.

Now, she's a body modification addict and faces daily discrimination, saying people hiss at her in the street, due to her extensive inkings.

But she doesn't let that hold her back, and how she's revealed her new modification - white gold fangs, which cost £4,000 and required quite a bit of work to install.
