Everyone always says that they’re going to ‘get into shape’ over the winter/New Year ready for the summer, but by the time that shorts weather rolls around usually it barely ever looks like they’ve made any improvements to their physique whatsoever.

However, one unknown guy decided he wasn’t even going to pretend he was going to get in shape and instead has decided to employ Manchester based tattoo artist Dean Gunther to ink a six pack all over his stomach to get ‘summer ready’. Here’s what Dean had to say about the unusual request:

He always wanted to have a six-pack but he’s not too keen on going to the gym or doing a diet.

So, he decided that by getting a six-pack tattoo, he will always look summer ready while still being able to enjoy beer and good food.

I was excited to do this tattoo because I’ve seen someone do it before, but it didn’t look realistic, and it was basic black outlines.

So, I decided to take on this challenge and do it completely differently.

It’s been one of my most unusual requests, but I am all for it.

You know what, I think I saw that other six pack tattoo and it looked absolutely terrible and with this one, there’s a chance that you might actually mistake it for the real thing if you saw someone at the beach with it and didn’t look too closely at it. Maybe it was a worthwhile investment?

Only problem is that this seems like the sort of thing you might think is funny for a little bit, but then deeply, deeply regret in the future. I mean who is gonna date or marry this guy with a stupid tattoo like that?

Hate to sound like a gym bro, but there really is no substitute for hard work and a six pack abs tattoo certainly isn’t going to do the business and is more likely to make everyone feel sorry for you or just think that you’re completely weird. Not the one for me, sorry.

For more of the same, check out this study that says the dad bod is the new six pack anyway. Pity you can’t get that tattooed on you.
