Nathan Kidd, 25, from Bexley

Why this design?

I fly for a living and aviation has always been part of my life. I searched for a long time to find a design that would represent me in life. I came across Frank Frazetla’s birdman painting and this ticked all the right boxes for me.

How much did it cost?

Around £500 in total

Did it hurt? What did it feel like?

It’s a good pain and worth every bit when you end up with a piece of art that’s with you for life.

What did your friends say?

Most were so impressed. I’ve been asked so many times for the contact details of Peter the tattoo artist.

Have you got any more? If so what and where are they?

This is my first one but I’m now thinking of what I can get Peter to do next. I will be back to Demon Inkorporation very soon I’m sure.

Nathan’s tattoo was done by Peter Balla at Demon Inkorporation in Bellegrove Road, Welling.
