Bloke pays inked tribute to Top Gear

'The best tattoo of James May on a leg I have ever seen'

What you need to know about cloud backup

There's a long tradition of fans getting their idols etched into their flesh, but Top Gear presenter James May hasn't until now featured heavily on the list of hero-worship tattoos.

Cue this YouTube vid (some NSFW language), flagged up recently to astounded PistonHeads forum members:

Initially, we thought the whole thing was a bit creepy, but changed our minds when James May human canvas Jimbo said of his tattooist: "He's the same guy who also did the Audrey Hepburn portrait on the back of my leg."

Pure comedy gold, as is the YouTube comment which notes: "That is the best tattoo of James May on a leg I have ever seen."

Hopefully, it'll be the only tattoo of a Top Gear presenter we'll ever see, although we fear Jimbo is sitting on a couple of places "left big enough" to pay appropriate inked homage to Jezza Clarkson and Richard Hammond... ®

He says he had to have it done on his leg as it was the only place it would fit? Fiddlesticks! If he had balls and likes Mr May that much, he'd have had it done on his face. I can say with absolute assurance the human face is exactly the same size as the human face.

That would have to be a smaller portrait shurely.

Oh I see...
