Will Smith slapping Chris Rock immortalised in ink on tattoo lover's leg

The moment that Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at this year's Oscars ceremony has been immortalised - as a tattoo lover got a frame from the video inked on his leg.

It was the moment that defined the event on March 28, and since then a video of the incident has been shared far and wide.

Jon Arton, 36, is a tattoo artist working in Birmingham and he was approached by a customer who said they wanted to get a tattoo to remember the moment.

Jon thought that was hilarious so together they decided which frame from the video the anonymous customer wanted, and soon they had it immortalised in ink on their leg.

What do you think of the tattoo? Let us know in the comments...

Jon, who completed the tattoo on Sunday, April 3, said: "I thought let’s do it - it’s hilarious.

"It’s quite small and discreet – if it wasn’t I probably wouldn’t have done it."

Jon has been a tattoo artist for three years and specialises in hyperrealistic portraits.

He added: "It’s a weird, interesting and crazy thing – I don’t think there’s a right or wrong side, it’s just an interesting thing some celebrities have done."

Meamwhile, a tattoo fan was gutted after she was asked to 'pay extra' for her new inking - even though it wasn't what she'd hoped for.

TikTok user Tori shared a photo of what she wanted, which is a snake drawn around a collarbone in such a way that it looks to be coiled around the bone.

But, as the Daily Star reports, what she got didn't look quite right, and she shared an image of it with her fans, adding: "Y'all I'm trying so hard not to cry."

After sharing her disastrous tattoo online, Tori was inundated with kind comments from her followers - especially after revealing she had to pay extra to get it done.
