Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has gone under the needle in Barcelona for a giant chest tattoo

The Gabon international then met with his artist of choice, Alejandro Nicolas Bernal

The pair got into the session, which appeared to begin later in the evening on a hotel balcony

Things soon got weird as both Aubameyang and Bernal donned masked for the procedure

The striker looked pleased with the work in progress and continued smiling throughout

Earlier the two men stopped for a picture while the design was half-way through completion

The forward posed with an Arsenal shirt alongside Bernal, with his freshly inked chest shining
