We Are in Awe of This Absolutely Horrifying Elon Musk Tattoo – Futurism

"I genuinely dont know if this is ironic or a fanboy."Elon Devil

A New York-based tattoo artist who goes by the moniker Mashkow has really outdone themselves with one of the most grotesquely fascinating Elon Musk tattoos weve ever seen.

An image circulating online shows the billionaire CEOs face imprinted in full color on the forearm of the artists client, throwing the Twitterverse into a fit of rage and confusion.

The depiction is truly a sight to behold. The tattoo shows Musk awkwardly smirking with red tinted eyes. The names of his companies, including Boring Companyand Tesla, alongside what appear to be X Space and Neural Link, are scrawled in messy letters across his cheeks and neck. Oh, and Free Speech is emblazoned on Musks forehead in graffiti-style font, next to the Twitter bird, in a reference to the CEOs obsession with turning the site into an arena for free speech. And just for good measure, something appears to be drizzling from the entrepreneurs lower lip.

Naysayers were quick to point out some issues with the ink.

Actually, its Neuralink, one Twitter user offered helpfully.

Its a tattoo so hideousthat it makes us question the true intention behind it. Is it meant to be a commentary on societys current obsession with the entrepreneur? Or was it simply a case of astronomically bad taste?

Given the artists previous and extensive work, which can be viewed on their Instagram account, its likely the former or, perhaps, a little bit of both.

I genuinely dont know if this is ironic or a fanboy, one Twitter user wrote in response to the image.

Its not a stretch to assume the artwork was meant to evoke this kind of visceral reaction. Besides, art is in the, well, bloodshot eyes of the beholder.

But given the fact that theres simply no way this tattoo will age gracefully, we wouldnt be shocked if the client will eventually have a moment of regret.

Cant wait to see this on a coverup episode of Inkmaster, quipped BuzzFeed News editor John Paczkowski.
