Roman Kemp, a radio and television presenter, shares his tattoo journey during a video call while getting inked. He reflects on his first tattoo at 17 and the addictive nature of adding to his collection, including pieces dedicated to footballers and a poignant tribute to a late friend. Kemp mentions the pain associated with tattoos, the precautions he takes for his television career, and the balance he strives to maintain in his artistry, highlighting the meaningful stories woven into his body art.
When I first started having them, especially some of the bigger ones, a lot of parlours want you to have the full experience. And I just suffered for many hours, and hated it.
It's 100% addictive. Some are silly (Bart Simpson), but others are more meaningful.
On my right leg I want to try to build as many of my favourite footballers of all time, Kemp explains.
...a tattoo is a replica of one that his friend Joe Lyons, who took his own life in 2020, had.
