Fredl of Art & Soul in Mannheim, Germany is the artist credited for the work below. This is probably one of the more extensive “skin rip” tattoos that I’ve seen. While anatomy tattoos aren’t very common, the few people sporting larger pieces tend to have them extremely detailed. I’d be interested to know if he worked off of any specific resource material or came up with the design based on the wearers own muscle tone and flow. It seems to work pretty well. There’s a little implanty goodness if you go ahead and click through.

Nice work!
Oolala! :]
that star looks so ugly and disgusting but nice tatttoo
Great tattoo, but the star is out of place.
eh, not really feeling it. ..
what do you mean the star is out of place? its not your body, and if he wants to have that star right there then whatever its not up to you to judge.
would be nice to make some sort of bodysuit out of this …
I actually think the star looks really well done.
Love this 🙂
From what I see in picture #1, I guess people in that place kind of like caffeine.
ben, last time i looked it was his arm not yours, i think the star implant is awsome, sometimes things that “dont go” work the best.
dont like this at all
i don’t like the star 😛 but its just my opinion you should respect that 😛
i dont like it XD but still cool 😉 i mean the star and the tattoo
this is a bad ass tattoo, and the start dont really go with it but its ok, it still looks good
yeah, im a fan of the star.
#5. Because they took a picture in front of a soda machine, in what appears to be a convenience store?! So dumb.
mr1982.bmezine.com has some similar work. Wow, I remembered the username, it’s been ages since I saw that page
calm down y’all. don’t we all come to site to see a wide variety of body modifications, and judge them?
This is awesome ink. I love it. Well done!!
i wonder if the star was there before or after the tattoo? it would be nice to see the arm complete
The star is a random addition, certainly not what I’d expected to see on his arm when implants were mentioned. The tattoo is really impressive, it sits really well on his arm too, I’d like to see a tat like this on a really built up arm.
I want to know more about the piercing on his throat…
I’m mildly bummed that he didn’t have his star implant tattooed over but that’s just because I’m dying to talk to someone who’s had an implant tattooed over.
Hmm, not my thing really.
Nice!:)
ive had an implant tattooed over,its pretty grim!
where was this when i was studying the muscular system in anatomy?
Tattoos speak a language of your heart. They bring out your emotions and lifestyle . You can use your tattoo designs as a style of expression. Many people use tattoos to speak diverse things, always their personality. Some also use them to express love and emotions.
