In October 2016, an image purportedly showing a man with the word Trump tattooed across his forehead (in support of Republican president candidate Donald Trump) was widely circulated on social media, with one of the most popular versions appearing on the Occupy Democrats Facebook page: This image, however, is not a real photograph of a man with Trump tattooed on his forehead. The series of pictures from which it came have been circulating since 1 April 2016, when they were created as an April Fool's Day joke by Inked magazine: Although Inked never explicitly stated that the article was an April Fool's Day joke, several signs pointed to it. First, the article bore no publication date. Second, the photographs of the Trump tattoo were reportedly taken during the tattoing process and immediately after, yet the skin of the recipient showed no signs of irritation. And last, while Inked reported that the man with the Trump tattoo was named Kyle Campbell, he is actually the article's author, Charlie Connell. Here's a photograph of Connell (below on the left) compared with Kyle Campbell and his Trump tattoo:
