Chooo-San uses acrylic paints to carefully create [realistic doodles of body modifications](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooptical) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microsoft-6) page, and you may have to look twice at her photos to believe that they are in fact painted. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Hyper-realistic Body Art:** Opportunity for artists and technology companies to create hyper-realistic body art using advanced techniques and materials. - **Optical Illusion Makeup:** Opportunity for the beauty industry to explore and embrace optical illusion makeup to create unique and visually stunning looks. - **Digital Doodling:** Opportunity for digital artists to expand their creativity by exploring the realm of digital doodling and optical illusions. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for artists to push boundaries and create mind-bending body art that challenges perception. - **Beauty and Cosmetics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for beauty companies to develop products and techniques that allow users to create optical illusion makeup looks. - **Technology and Digital Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for technology companies to collaborate with artists and create digital tools and platforms for exploring digital doodling and optical illusions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md) - [Hyper-Realistic Flesh Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito.md) - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Progressive Rewritable Tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-ink.md) - [Interactive Tattoo Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inkstory.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [AI Tattoo Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tattoo-canvas.md) - [AI Tattoo Visualizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ink-studio-ai.md)
