Yeah, not sure why you’d wonder if it was real or not. You clearly need to spend more time on the internet. 😛 (On the subsequent link of bad tattoos, I like the one of Michael Jackson groping MacCauley Culkin. I’ll be in my bunk . . .) ---

I could care less whether it’s real or not. A guy that clean shaven could have me whenever, wherever, however he wanted! Nice! That would be a dream come true for me. ---

That looks frighteningly real. Wow. I have multiple tats… and would still never get one on my privates… ---

> [@Hazle\_Weatherfield](#): > > I could care less whether it’s real or not. A guy that clean shaven could have me whenever, wherever, however he wanted! Nice! That would be a dream come true for me. No kidding! So it figures that he’s gay. ☹ It amuses me to note that one reason his tattoo “works” is that his penis is nearly as big when flaccid as it is when erect. It would look significantly less impressive if he had one of those fellows that shrinks down to a nubbin when it’s not excited. ---

Is the head of the dragon sideways? That makes no sense, why not make it straight on? ---

I must admit I hadn’t studied it that closely before your post. :eek: ---

So, technically, how was this done (on the penis, that is)?? Was the gland stretched for the duration of the work or was he given viagra and then numbed? You’d almost have to be working on a hard penis to get the desired outcome, no? ---

You’d almost have to be working on a hard penis to get the desired outcome, no? **pravnik** ’s link explains it. Apparently the tattooist has a special machine and they stretched the skin out on a wooden spoon. ---
