James Nesbitt has revealed he got a stick and poke tattoo during a wild stag do.
The Cold Feet actor appeared on This Morning with Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, with the trio admitting that they almost got tattoos together after the National Television Awards, with a ‘sensible tattooist’ stopping them in their tracks.
However, it turns out James, 57, was quite keen for an inking.
‘I finally got one, you know,’ he told them, with Holly and Phil left stunned.
‘I went to Alex Ferguson’s grandson’s stag because I’m a good friend of his son. So it was me, Jake’s father, and 25-year-old boys and I was the only person who got a stick and poke tattoo of MUFC [Manchester United Football Club].
‘I did. It’s faded now, it looks like MULC, like Manchester United Lacrosse Club. But yeah I got it!’
Stick and poke tattoos are done without electric tattoo equipment and can run a higher risk of infection if done by someone who lacks proper training.
