Inspired dude gets a tattoo of Michael Phelps' killer game face
Michael Phelps' goosebump-inducing game face is now immortalized on someone's flesh.
Phelps became the meme heard 'round the world on Monday when he glared -- hard -- at fellow Olympian Chad le Clos, who made the bizarre choice to shadowbox in front of Phelps in the ready room before the rivals faced off in the 200-meter butterfly semifinals.

Not smart, le Clos.

Sure enough, Phelps outswam his rival in both that race and the final -- and that's what inspired Toronto tattoo shop owner Ricky Fung to put Phelps' angry visage on his own arm.
"I wasn't even a big Phelps fan before this, and I'm not really a swim fan," Fung told ESPN. "But just seeing him go out and win the way he has has been inspiring to me."
And we guess that's as good a reason as any.
