The crazy trucker's tattoo that has the internet in a spin

A UK man's daring decision to get a very strange tattoo is sending the internet into a spin, and once you have seen it you will understand why.

Kenny Ollerenshaw is a trucker and father of one from of Silloth, Cumbria and now looks like he has a tiny man driving his own body.

Mr Ollerenshaw had his upper-body transformed at Immortal Art Studio in Carlisle, with the initial work reportedly taking four hours.

The design by tattooist Richard Batey is described on the company's Facebook page as an "interactive optical illusion tattoo."

Mr Batey, who has worked in the car industry, told the News & Star, "It's got the ability to make an entire room of people smile and laugh and get them talking."

Mr Ollerenshaw told the publication that his young son was the first to see it and acknowledged it "hurt" a bit.

He said, "I keep looking at it in the mirror and thinking it's crazy. You should see what happens when I tense my pecs."

But the transformation isn't over yet.

Mr Batey gave some insight into the design on his personal Facebook page, writing: "Had the idea for ages but needed the right client with the personality to pull it off, then along came Kenny wanting his first tattoo!"

"Two full sleeves, chest and shoulders of ACME! Automotive Cybertronic Mechanical Engineering."

Along with the video and pictures which have gone viral, he wrote, "So here's a look at where we got to on the first of many sittings, still loads to do but had to post it and see what you guys think."

Mr Batey told the News & Star that it's the first of its kind in the world.

"I have a good mechanical understanding from working in the car industry," he told the publication.

A video shared on Mr Batey's Facebook page on July 23 has been viewed more than 1.2 million times and received countless comments.

One social media user wrote: "Thats wicked dude"

Another said: "This is actually amazing! Can't wait to see the rest"

Mr Ollerenshaw said his family are "all on board with it."

But while some people are asking "why?", he is staying positive.

"The way I look at it is if people don't like it then they don't have to wear it," he said.
