Meet British Most Tattooed Man......90 Percent of His Body is Covered in Tattoo.

Britain’s most tattooed man has been refused a passport, but not because of his skin decorations - but his name.

King of Ink Land King Body Art The Extreme Ink-Ite, 34, has been refused an ID renewal because of his unusual moniker, which he adopted by deed poll four years ago.

The Lib Dem activist from Birmingham, formerly known as Mathew Whelan - now called Body Art for short – says it breaches his human rights to demand that he uses his birth name on his passport.

Body Art, who has covered 90 per cent of his body in ink, including tattooing his left eyeball black, has spent more than £25,000 on his passion.

Now, he has been offered work abroad to turn his hobby into a job, and so applied to have his passport renewed.
