14 <french>Remarkable</french> <french>Pictures</french> Of British Tattoo Enthusiasts, Seen With And Without Their Clothes Lynzy Billing BuzzFeed Staff
  1. 1. Stefano, from London I pretty much love every inch of my skin for different reasons, but I love my back because I’ve been waiting for 17 years to get it done, and it’s come out exactly as I wanted it.
  2. 2. James, from Brighton I was 16 and got a small lizard on my hip. My parents asked, how would I ever get a job?
  3. 3. Dave, from Leyton
  4. 4. Ness, from Sussex I’m loving how [the tattoos] change as my body gets older and the creases and wrinkles change how they look.
  5. 5. Dan, from Bexleyheath What age do I think I’ll stop getting inked ? Never.
  6. 6. Darren, from Crawley I love my tattoos – if you don’t like them, don’t look at them. Who cares how I’ll feel when I’m old?
  7. 7. Patrick, from Brighton My first tattoo was at 13 and was a secret for 10 years. It’s a part of me and I am not going to get old.
  8. 8. Lilianna, from Coventry I don’t feel my opinion will change on my tattoos. I doubt I’ll have any regrets regardless of my age.
  9. 9. Uno, from Hastings I’m beyond the stopping point now. It fucking hurts like shit, man, but I wouldn’t change my look for the world.
  10. 10. Nick, from London
  11. 11. Izzy, from Aylesford I love being different, and every day I’m asked about them at least once, always getting a positive reaction. Good tattoos aren’t cheap, cheap tattoos are not good.
  12. 12. Kenny, from West Drayton I love my tattoos – it’s a way of life for me and I’ll carry on getting them for as long as I can. Via Kenny
  13. 13. Kimmy, from Ruislip My Kiss tattoos are my favourites – the pain was incredible but it feels good to show my ultimate dedication to the band.
  14. 14. Gareth, from Potters Bar, Hertfordshire Alan Powdrill is still looking for models to take part in this tattoo photo project, Covered. You can reach him on Twitter.
