I was going to take the weekend off from posting here, but since people seemed to enjoy the idea of the hemangioma tattoo that I posted yesterday, let me add something in the same vein that I liked a lot as well. My friend Caglar, who tattoos at Tattoo Zone in Ankara, Turkey, had a customer come in that had surgery on his belly leaving him with a scar and several indentations — Caglar added a tattoo of a spider, with the legs stepping into the indents.

Now this was a pretty great idea. That looks really cool.
This is amazing! Thank you for posting this, Shannon!
that looks really awesome, the scar and tattoo really compliment each other!
Nice, alot of the time you see shadows tattooed, but to me this looks way cooler. It adds a shaddow and shows that theres pressure.
Awesome! Not only is the spider (looks like a Poecilotheria regalis to me) incredible nicely done. The idea of letting it’s legs step into the indents gives it a mindblowing 3D effect!
I think this is simply amazing! It fits perfectly, and it changes (modifies) something that might be a reminder of less pleasant experience, into one that brings (or so I hope) something of a more positive kind.
Yeah, vague description, but I love it.
that’s about the coolest thing ever.
That’s amazing, it’s so realistic… very inspiring.
neat.
And grats to him for getting that belt down another notch between photos. (:

Yes, which is why I would run screaming the first time seeing that…
(which is a compliment to the artist!)
Ha haa! That’s really awesome. It makes me wish I had a scar or something that would look cool with a tattoo.
That was awsome, now it definitive looks real
Oh wow. It looks real and pops out at you, kind of like the Red Sox patch tattoo in a past entry.
3-D! this is made of awesome :D thanks!!
Awesome! It looks like it’s actually on it, very well done! Even my mom likes it :D
That looks great, it will make him proud of the area now instead of worrying about who sees it.
Taking a casual glance, I thought it was real.
Very cool.
*that* is really cool, though I’m going to be honest and say the spider needs work.
It’s still a really nice tat and I’d love it if it were mine.
This is an amazing tattoo. I could never get something like this myself though- I’d constantly be batting at my stomach, trying to get a spider off.
I thought that was real at first and sort of flipped, haha. S’awesome.
that is so fucking cool.
Great tatt. I showed it to my brother and he nearly fainted.
I wonder what kind of surgery causes indentations like that? I’ve never seen that before.
I just noticed that the scar between the indentations looks like a lizard!
My friend would probably faint if he saw this picture. That is so realistic.
Absolutely phenomenal!!
:)
I thought it was real lol.
Very very nice :D
i think thats pretty amazing
cool! i would have never thought to put a spider there!
wow, that looks cool :)
Wow! at first glance I thought it was a real spider. And as an arachnaphobic I naturaly shat myself!
Fantastic! What an excellent idea! When life gives you lemons, get a tattoo!!
It looks so real! Really nice
So real it’s scary! (In a good way of course.)
very creative. two thumbs up!!
I totally shrieked when I saw this. Gaaahhhh!
Oh my gods! That’s amazing!
i’d say this is pretty phenomenal – great idea and the shading is under the spider’s legs is really well executed.
i honestly thought that was a real spider at first glance. it looks incredible.
Wow, what a great way to make art out of difference! Love the shadowing! It’s a great tattoo, applied in a truly artful way!
Wow, that’s a really great effect. Very nice.
I like it, props to the artist!
That is very cool and looks great =)
This is awesome! I love when people get mods to transform something they might dislike about their body. I’m absolutely terrified of spiders though; I did jump when I first saw it!
It looks very real, wow! Really good work, I like spiders=)
Like many others have mentioned before me, an awesome idea, and it works incredibly well! I would loooove to see this tattoo up close. Very creative.. A* to whoever came up with it.. :D
amazing work!
awsome :)
holy shit, thought it was real at first. (the spider)

I’m holy crap, it’s fucking amazing. Even though I’m terrified of spiders!
Ignore my grammer mistake!
I love this tattoo! It almost looks alive, not only because it looks like it’s pulling at the skin, but it is a great tattoo!
Fucking amazing, you cant even see the scars anymore. So cool!!
That looks great!
oh my gosh i thought that was a real spider! good job artist!
I love it! I have a huge belly scar that I would like augmented. Not covered… As the scar has meaning to me… But made to look better.
Oh my god!! It’s a spider!! Get it off!! I hate spiders. lol. But it looks cool. It looks so freakin real
thanks everybody..
