The most infamous optical illusion ‘Rabbit-Duck’ dates back to 1892, but modern-day tattoo artists have found their own unique ways to trick your eyeballs – two in one tattoo idea. Through strategic placement, each tattoo design comes to life and transforms with the client’s body movement.
Tattoo artist Vek Van Hillik is one of these illusionists and uses the folds of people’s limbs to hide parts of the cool tattoo design. This allows for the unique design to appear as one subject when the limb is bent and then transforms into a different image when the arm or leg is outstretched. Freehand body art designing is essential to these hidden images so the artist can change things as they go for a more accurate illusion.
