A man who was tired of paying for new shoes to replace the worn out ones had them tattooed on his feet. The video of the art was shared on Instagram by tattoo artist Dean Gunther, where he donned eyeballs.
Originally from South Africa and based in Manchester, Mr Gunther revealed in the Instagram post that the customer wanted the design of his beloved Nike sneakers drawn on him.
“Tired of paying for shoes every few months, so he got his favorite @nike shoes tattooed for life!” Mr Gunther said in his Instagram post.
The video has almost a lakh views and 972 likes.
The piece took Mr. Gunther about two hours to draw and another eight hours to tattoo on both feet.
Instagram users found the idea both funny and innovative.
“Save a fortune on trainers,” said one user. “Wow brave man with both feet,” commented another.
Some users wanted to know if the procedure was painful. “Wouldn’t want to walk a mile in his shoes,” said one commenter on the post.
Gunther also caught the attention of social media last month when he posted a video of an innovative way to get six-pack abs fast.
The video showed an unidentified man who had dreamed about a six-pack for a long time, but did not like the idea of exercising. So he turned to Mr. Gunther, who gave him a tattoo of six pack abs.
Mr Gunther moved to the UK five years ago and opened his own studio in Greater Manchester called DG Tattoo art.
