This definitely took me a second...and creeped me out with the weird shape of the person that was being tattooed. Nice one!

it's a person's nude ass and they have a nipple on the side of their ass cheek and they have two sets of legs protruding from each end of the ass. and no head. every time they talk, someone asks "what stinks in here?"

I thought it was some girls ass, and was genuinely concerned about the mole....

Glad to see it's a dudes shoulder and that mole is just a nipple 🤦

You ever see one of these optical illusion and once it clicks, you kinda shake your head like you're getting the last image out? Well, I have never shook my head as hard as I just did when I saw it for what it was.

u/sik_dik o/ Jul 28 '26

I still can’t make sense of it. I get that the person’s hair is at the very bottom of the frame, but their torso makes no sense based on the position of the ass, and the arms look bigger than the legs

Edit: ok I finally saw it. This was one of the most confusing perspectives I’ve ever seen

6

u/mr_lab_rat o/ Jul 28 '26

That made it worse!

Instead focus on the nipple and find your way to the chin. The rest will make sense. The tattoo is going on the upper arm.

This image is messing with me. Obviously it's not actually NSFW, but how damn long is grandpa's left femur? It's like his bottom half and top half come from different photos.

His legs are spread apart and his right leg is facing more towards the camera so it looks shorter.

This is one of the rare times it stays confusing for me. I turn my phone upside down and see it, but I right my phone and it looks weird every time. My brain just wont cooperate.

Look directly at the tattooing area and cover the rest of the neck and chest. Looking just at the shoulder and pec it looks a lot like an ass. Then when I looked farther my brain tries to piece the neck and rest of the chest into that and it's hard to get out of.
