In an interview, Gunther explained the tattooing process.

“Drawing the tattoo on my free hand was the most challenging part. I had to make sure that everything flowed with the contours of the body. A stencil would not work in this case, so it’s all freehand. Once that was on, the tattooing was straightforward,” Gunther told NeedToKnow.online.

The tattoo artist added that the man was “tired of paying for shoes” and decided to get the tattoo.

“He was tired of paying for shoes, so he decided he will get his favourite pair of Nikes tattooed on him and he can see the funny side to it! Definitely a great conversation starter. His wife loves it too.”
