The Ryan Phillipe shoot for Inked Magazine proves why this leading man is more than just a pretty face -- he also as an incredibly smokin' body to go along with it.

Featuring [tattoos by hip hop tattooist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mark-of-life) Mr. Cartoon, the Ryan Phillipe shoot for Inked Magazine makes me not only want to [get more tattoo work](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inkstory) myself, but also date babe-a-licious actor all at the same time.
