In a show of love for his favourite shoes, a man in the UK got a pair of Nike shoes tattooed on his feet.
The elaborate tattoos that mimicked the design of Nike shoes were made by famous tattoo artist Dean Gunther.
Gunther shared on Instagram a time-lapse video that showed the process of making the tattoos. “He was tired of paying for shoes every few months, so he got his favourite @nike shoes tattooed on for life,” he wrote.
Soon Gunther’s post went viral across social media.Many people appreciated the unique tattoo design, but some felt uncomfortable with it. Commenting on the Instagram post, a user wrote, ‘Would not wanna walk a mile in his shoes.”
Another Instagram user remarked, “Your tattoos are awesome but these are cursed 😂 ”.
While talking to NeedToKnow.online, Gunther said that he wanted to create a tattoo that gives the illusion that his client is wearing shoes. It took Gunther more than eight hours to finish making the tattoos.
Explaining the process of making the tattoos, Gunther said, “Drawing the tattoo on my free hand was the most challenging part. I had to make sure that everything flowed with the contours of the body. A stencil would not work in this case, so it’s all freehand. Once that was on, the tattooing was straightforward”.
