These bizarre body art optical illusions are totally scary and we can’t stop looking

Thanks to Instagram and Facebook, we’ve seen a great deal of neat optical illusions bubbling up all over the world. Nineteen-year-old artist Jordan Molina‘s optical illusions, however, will either have you cowering in fear, or in the palm of his apparently rubbery hand:

Unlike many artists, Molina shows how he creates his hand to look like other three-dimensional objects on his YouTube channel TutoDraw, and the effects are amazing (albeit, a tad horrifying).

Nonetheless, even though he takes us step by step, we can’t help but believe our eyes. As The Daily Mail writes:

There are all sorts of neat tricks to be learned from Molina’s art, ones that will likely come in handy come Halloween:

Want to terrify your friends and make them believe you’ve cut off your own fingers?
