This Tattoo Is Utterly Terrifying

A tattoo photo has gone viral on image sharing site Imgur, racking up over 1.5 million views in just one day.

The reason? It's utterly terrifying.

The tattoo in question is an optical illusion, designed to look like a creepy alien is trying to push its way out of the owner's skin.

We can't help but think this might give a bit of a fright to unsuspecting love interests when he takes his shirt off in the dark.
