Great-grandad Jack Reynolds has become the oldest person to receive their first tattoo according to the Guinness World Records. Jack went under the needle on his 104th birthday at a local studio called Pete Who’s in his hometown of Chesterfield.
Jack got “Jacko 6.4.1912” tattooed on his upper right arm and speaking to Good Morning Britain on the 7th April 2016 he said he was “apprehensive but I’m looking forward to it.” Jack then joked that “I’d rather be doing this than getting a haircut.”
The former railway line foreman has already raised £2,146 for independent charity Ashgate Hospice which cares for terminally ill patients across Derbyshire by attempting the record.
His daughter Jayne Goodwin and grandson Shane Spencer also got the same tattoos with Jayne saying, “he initially joked about getting it on his bottom, but then wasn’t too keen on having to get out his bum to show people.”
