It takes two makeup artists 4 and a half hours to apply Wentworth's 25 part decal tattoo in Prison Break. They only apply the bits that are required for the episode.
Wentworth says:
It's a very lengthy process. It's the most ambitious pro tattoo ever attempted for TV or film. It takes two people four or five hours to apply. They strip moisture off the skin by applying alcohol so it adheres properly. Then a layer of glue is applied before they fix the decals with waterproof sealant on top so it stays. It's made up of a series of details that fit together like pieces of a puzzle. There are about 24 pieces to cover my entire upper body and arms. Fortunately, we only have to do it once per episode.

Michael Scofield and no it's not real. It would have to be done everytime he appears shirtless, otherwise he wouldn't always have it on every episode.
