Lee Bray says the pain was horrific at times - but that the outcome was '100% worth it'.
A Derby County fan has had the club's stadium tattooed on his back along with a depiction of his son, sparking other football fans to follow his idea.He had wanted a tattoo that combined two of his loves, and fortunately his son is a Rams fan too.
The artist who did the tattoo said he had now been contacted by other fans who wanted similar tattoos."I posted it on some social media pages and Derby groups and a few people have said they are not really into tattoos, but they think it's amazing," he said."It's like a really, really sharp scratching pain and continuous, and it was three day sessions which were six hours each, so 18 hours all in.
"Since I posted it I've had quite a few different enquiries from people wanting grounds on their back, and three of them are booked in," he said.Mr Shutt has tattooed sporting icons on people's bodies before, including Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton, motorcycle racer Guy Martin, and footballer Lionel Messi.
He has also inked footballers themselves, including Blackburn Rovers player Kyle McFadzean and Ipswich Town's Massimo Luongo.BBC Radio Derby's Facebook pageTom Akers has a tattoo of the stadium on his leg, along with a depiction of him and his two sons."Eleven years ago we welcomed my first son, who now plays football for Heanor Town on Saturdays and Mansfield Town on Sundays as a number nine, hence the nine on his back on the tattoo.
"She had the tattoo because she has supported Derby County all her life and constantly follows them home and away," said Ms Fox. "They're a massive part of her life."
