Man who spent £30,000 on tattoos shares what he looked like before dramatic inking

A man who splashed a whopping £30k on a tattoo transformation after he was released from prison has shared what he looked like before his dramatic inking - and he looks completely different. Ian Griggs spent 300 hours under the needle to transform himself, and now his whole body is covered in fresh ink, as the Daily Star reports.

Now, he's landed a new job as an actor thanks to his unique style, appearing in movies including Bonded by Blood and Legacy. He treated himself to the tattoos after he was released from prison following a 12-year stretch for possession of drugs, intent to supply, and committing acts of violence.
