Skin-Embedded Optical Illusions

This Body Art by Chooo-San Appears to be Photoshopped

— June 25, 2012 — Unique
This body art by Chooo-San looks so real that it appears to be Photoshopped or digitally edited into the picture. Chooo-San uses acrylic paints to carefully create realistic doodles of body modifications onto her arms, legs and face.

She realized she had a unique talent for doodling while studying for university admission exams, and drew as a distraction from studying. Some of the optical illusions she has created include a battery pack onto her arm that appears skin-embedded, multiple lips, a face on her hands and multiple eyes to her face that resemble disturbing body modifications.

Chooo-San connects with her fans through her Tumblr blog and Twitter page, and you may have to look twice at her photos to believe that they are in fact painted.
