Mind-blowing tattoo makes man look like machine

Don't let your eyes deceive you. No, you are not looking at a robotic arm but rather a normal human arm which happens to have an awesome tattoo. The tattoo was created by Tony Booth of Dabs Tattoo in Southport, England, who excels at working in black ink and creating geometric designs. Booth also creates a type of tattoo known as "dotwork," in which exceedingly complicated designs are made one dot at a time. Lisa, Tony's wife, commented, "The client and Tony came up with the concept between them and it grew from an upper arm sleeve to a full sleeve and then it carried on to his hand, shoulder and upper chest." The tattoo took multiple sessions to complete over the course of 18 months, and it won top prize in the category of "Best Blackwork Tattoo" at the "Tattoo Tea Party" convention in Manchester, England. The picture of the design emerged Thursday on the Instagram page of acclaimed street artist Banksy, and you can see more of Booth's work on the Dabs Tattoo site as well as on his Instagram page. Although we might not yet have androids roaming around covered in cool carbon-fiber-matrix skin, this is still pretty cool! #MWTG325
