A tattoo artist and thrill seeker has secured a remarkable Guinness World Record after tattooing himself while in freefall during a skydive from 15,000 feet (4,572 metres) The feat, which Guinness World Records has now officially recognised, combined two high-risk pursuits into a single record-breaking achievement.
The stunt was completed on 8 June, although Guinness World Records only recently announced the achievement on its official website. During the jump, Funky Matas exited an aircraft at approximately 15,000 feet before using a tattoo machine to ink the word 'FLY' onto the back of his own hand while falling through the air.
