Upon first glance it seems as though the woman is only wearing her birthday suit from the waist down however upon closer inspection the tricky optical illusion is revealed.

The bulging bicep is appearing as a stunt double for the woman backside.

One user on the photo sharing site commented, “That genuinely confused me.”

While another user joked: “What kinda party is this, and why wasn't I invited?”

This is the second bikini pic this week to send the internet into a firestorm.

At first glance, you may not think there’s much more to this photo then three girls popping into a beachside mini mart in their bikinis.

But if you look closer at the seemingly innocent image, you’ll discover one of the girls is actually wearing an ankle monitor, designed to put criminals on house arrest.

Imgur user JarJarDrinks uploaded the photo to social media with the caption, “Nothing adds to your summer look like a court ordered ankle monitor...”

The photo has since gone viral and racked up over 100,000 views in two days and a myriad of comments.

“That thing covers almost more skin than her bikini,” posted one user.

“Thanks for pointing that out. I would say 90% of us were not looking at her ankles,” added another.

While another user had a very valid point. “Should leave a fun tan line too,” they said.
