Przez tatuaże jest wciąż kontrolowany przez policję

Clive is proud of his tattooed look but admits on the whole, people treat him differently. SURREY, UK: AFTER constantly being stopped by POLICE and security guards due to his TATTOOS, this man is encouraging others to be accepting of tattooed bodies. From an early age, entrepreneur Clive Charles (37) from Surrey, UK, developed an interest in tattoos. As a child, Clive remembers admiring his grandad?s sailor tattoos but it was the tattooed face of a skip driver Clive saw when he was 12 years old that really sparked his passion. Clive went on to get his first tattoo when he was 15 ? a Chinese symbol on his leg. Since then, Clive has had so many tattoos that he?s lost count and couldn?t begin to estimate how many hours he?s spent under the needle. His black-out arm tattoo took the longest ? clocking in at eight hours. Whilst Clive has frequented various parlours around the country, he regularly visits Curly in Oxford and has no plans to stop working on his tattooed body art. He hopes to tattoo more areas of his face as well as undergo some body modifications including scarification and branding. For Clive, his tattoos are personal but that hasn?t stopped others from giving their unsolicited thoughts. Impolite comments such as, ?freak? can be a common occurrence. Moreover, Clive is frequently challenged by police and security workers or doormen at events simply due to his appearance. Whilst it may come as a surprise to some, the UK is considered to be the most tattooed nation in the world. Birmingham has the highest tattooed population as studies reveal that 45 per cent of the city?s inhabitants have between 11 and 15 tattoos. It?s estimated that around one in three Brits now has a tattoo and whilst this once-taboo form of body art is starting to become more widely accepted, Clive agrees that there?s a long way to go. mediadrumworld.com / @sirfreakcharles
