Simon O’Brien, 24, Orpington

Why this design?

For memorabilia – it’s my grandad George.

He passed away two years ago and I was quite close to him.

He had a terrific personality.

You can always lose photos – this is the only one I had of him.

But unless you’re in a bad accident you can’t lose your arms or legs.

How much did it cost?

£180

Did it hurt?

It didn’t really hurt, not majorly.

It felt like someone pinching me for two hours.

What did your friends say?

They couldn’t believe how realistic it is.

My family said it really looked like him.

Have you got any more?

I’ve got an American dragon on my other arm.

The dragon is on my left arm and my grandad is on my right shoulder.
