A successful tattoo artist with a "massive" Instagram following received death threats from the LGBT community after he pulled the wig of a reveller in a city bar. Justin Davies-Train, 33, of Tavistock Drive, Mapperley Park, ended up in court over the assault in Walrus Bar, King Street, Nottingham city centre, back on February 10 this year.
CCTV from the Walrus was played at Nottingham Magistrates' Court as artist Davies-Train - who earns £4,000-a-month after tax - was fined £615 over the assault. Mark Fielding, prosecuting, on Monday (December 12) said the assault was the pulling of the wig, shown in court in a busy bar scene.
Mitigating, Derek Brown said Davies-Train had maintained he had not made any homophobic comments throughout the course of these proceedings and at a police station. "As a result of the allegation, he got death threats from the LGTB community," added Mr Brown. "He is a tattoo artist and artist by trade and has a massive Instagram following. He was getting threats on social media.
