I called the artist to clarify whether it is possible to make such small figures clearly, and met with the artist," Lev was quoted as saying by UK-based Sun newspaper.<br /><br />The portraits of Putin and Trump were successfully tattooed on the patient's teeth, the report said. The engraving was done on ceramic.<br /><br />The artist first made the engraving with a fine brush, and then baked it in a dental oven and covered the material with a layer of dental transparent glaze.</p>
