Inked Class of ’99
Introducing Inked's class of '99, take a look at AI renderings of A-list celebrities in their high school days.
A feature on the AI app EPIK is currently taking social media by storm. The app, which is available for both iOS and Android devices, allows users to upload images of themselves and within a few short hours they are turned into a series of retro yearbook photos. Brimming with 90’s nostalgia, users have been having an absolute ball reimagining what their high school years could have looked like had they taken place in an earlier decade. High school brought about a lot of anguish and inner turmoil for many people, but the Yearbook feature of EPIK has been providing some much needed catharsis for many an outcasted graduate.
Naturally, we at Inked had to try out the feature for ourselves. We took ten heavily tattooed celebrities and watched as EPIK turned them into geeks, jocks, cheerleaders, punks, and band kids. Ever wondered what Adam Levine would look like as a preppie? Wonder no longer. Wish you could have been friends with Rihanna in high school? Well, maybe now you can.
Congratulations to Inked’s class of 1999, we know you’re going to do great things!
