A man whose spent tens of thousands on tattoos has plans to get more, despite experiencing multiple allergic reactions to the ink. Matthew Whelen is Britain's 'most tattooed man' and has covered 90 per cent of his body in art. To make sure his skin doesn't react badly to future designs, he now meets with new artists for a consultation before heading under the needle.
The 42-year-old plans to get his arm 'blacked-out' in the New Year and has undergone a patch test to make sure he'll be fine. Matthew, also known as King Body Art, explained that he's had difficulty with some previous designs healing, as they've scarred, itched and become raised on the skin.
