I’ve seen a similar design by droog design in one of my classes in architecture: the difference was that droog made the tatto on the finger, so that you always had a tool to measure whatever you wanted. I tried to google it, but with no success :(
Agreeing with others who say this is fake—it would be really, really, REALLY hard for even the most talented tattoo artist to be that accurate. Skin is not like paper.
I would say it’s a fake. It doesn’t look right at all. The coloring looks wrong and the arm hair etc.
None the less it is an interesting concept, although as you age it would become a US ruler instead of a metric.
@Rob – awesome tattoo
I have a star on my left hand and have been toying around with the idea of finishing it into a constellation. One because astronomy is awesome and two to go along with my blog. I wanted to get the big dipper and have it point with my index finger, like the dipper points to the north star, but the positioning would be bad.

This looks far too precise to be a real tattoo.

I agree with Mark. This looks to be a transfer of some sort.
