There are so many ways to get your dream body, including a tattoo. Picture: Instagram/@dean.gunther.
They say there are two kinds of people in the world. Those who dream and those who make it happen.
South African creatives continue to shock the world, and Cape Town tattoo artist Dean Gunther continues to break boundaries.
Gunther, now based in Manchester, was approached by a man who wanted an instant six-pack without going to the gym or giving up beer.

Daily Mail reported that Gunther took two days to get the man’s dream body by tattooing abs on his stomach.
“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,” says Gunther.
He adds that he decided to take on the challenge because of wanting to do something different from what he had seen before.
“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.”

Gunther posted the videos on TikTok, which got over 900k and 1.6 million views, respectively. While others commended his talent, some were not impressed with the man’s decision.
“The detail in the tattoo is amazing! I’ll give you that, but he’s deffo (definitely) going to regret that,” commented Rob Shreds.
Gunther is known for making extreme tattoos. He has done a Joker tattoo, Queen Nefertiti, Chester Bennington and many others.
