I don’t think those are tatoos…I think its ESPN’s way of saying that they think he’s a super swimming robot…they are showing his “robot” interior as they peel his skin away. Very scifi sexy.

Anything to cover more of him up. He is disturbingly ugly…

Interesting pic, it’s not your usual Phelps-in-micro-speedo cover. I like it.
