Policeman spent 2 years getting massive 'Only Fools and Horses' tattoo - but it's spelled wrong

Sam Hall, of the Metropolitan Police, spent 40 hours in the tattooist's chair and over £700 on the massive inking that covers his right ribcage and side

A serving policeman spent two years getting a massive 'Only Fools and Horses' tattoo - only to have 'HOOKY STREET' misspelled.

Sam Hall, 29, of the Metropolitan Police, spent 40 hours in the tattooist's chair and over £700 on the massive inking that covers his right ribcage and side.

The black and white image is supposed to show the cast of the comedy as well as the famed logo and signs for Nelson Mandela House and Hooky Street.

But the street, which features heavily in the closing credits, is misspelled "Hookie Street."

As well as the spelling error but Sam's partner, and mother of his two children, Laura Simmons hates the show because she does not think it is very funny.

Sam, of Eltham, south east London, said: "I started getting it done two years ago - it's my favourite show - every episode is a classic.

"Laura hates it though, and she thinks it's rubbish. But I'm covered in tattoos so she's got to get used to it, I suppose.

"I did lots of research and other people have tattoos of 'Hookie Street', as well as 'Hooky Street' or 'Hookey Street', so I don't think it's wrong."

Sam's huge inking is meant to portray the central character, but many of the images are so distorted they look like different people.

Del Boy looks like greasy car salesman Swiss Toni from the Fast Show sketch comedy, according to one online observer, who also said Boycie looks like the actor who plays Rodney, Nicholas Lyndhurst.

Denzil is almost unrecognisable, while Uncle Albert's big bushy beard makes him look like Father Christmas.
Sam, who is leaving the force after ten years to become a taxi driver, added: "I don't care what people think of it, I love it and that's the main thing.

"The last bit I had done was the writing. It was painful but worth the effort."

The official lyrics of the chorus of the closing theme to the long-running sitcom cite the dodgy market lane as 'Hooky Street.'

When describing a “sexy tattoo” this means these are tattoos that are appealing and attractive to the eye of the beholder. To get a sexy tattoo, you have to put it in a sexy and interesting spot.  These spots are usually the spots that are not always visible to the eyes, like your thighs if you wear long pants or skirts to work everyday, the breast, the ribs, buttocks and etc. These are the spots that are usually covered.

Pretty Dead

When new customers walk into Glendale, Arizona’s Ritual Addictions Tattoo and are confronted with Rachelle Nicole Hoffman who is all legs, breasts and horror tattoos more often than not they think she is just the shop girl. Nope, she’s the boss lady. “The look on people’s faces when I tell them that it is my shop, just gives me a little extra push every time to just keep doing my thing in this male dominated business and take it as far as I can,” she says.

Like her body, the shop is horror-themed with every corner housing a huge monster. “I think my favorite thing about horror is the escape from reality,” Rachelle says. “It also really stands out from everything else, it’s not the typical ‘pretty thing.’” And on her the macabre looks quite pretty. “I grew up on horror movies, I remember watching them as young as two years old and loving them. Halloween has always been my favorite time of the year and I figured it would be something I would never get sick of—that’s why I started my sleeve and once it was done I decided to go all out for a full horror movie body suit.” Her tattooer isn’t at her shop, he is Sirris Slay, the owner of Ink Therapy also in Glendale. Their friendship grows as her collection of tattoos flow down her body.

“He did exactly what I was looking for on my leg,” Rachelle says. “I would have to say my Freddy and my Shining pieces are probably at the top of the list. A goal of mine is to get each piece autographed, then tattooed right after, so the autographs I have so far are also up there in my top favorites.”

Grandfather gets 203 characters from The Simpsons inked on his back

A 52-year-old grandfather is hoping his tattoo depicting 203 characters from popular cartoon series The Simpsons will win him a Guinness World Record.

Michael Baxter has spent almost AU$12,000 on getting inked and has been a big fan of the show since its debut.

His bid to be recognised as a world record holder coincides with the series' 25th anniversary on December 17.

The prison officer said he had sat through an eye-watering 130 hours under the needle over the course of a year.

Mr Baxter's favourite character was Homer but his tattoo includes all the main characters - including Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie.

Supporting characters - such as Sideshow Bob, the Comic Book Guy, Ned Flanders, Principal Skinner - are littered among the faces that span across Mr Baxter's back.

The tattoo also depicts scenes and locations of Springfield - home of the world's favourite yellow-skinned family - like Moe's Tavern and the famous couch scene of the opening credits. 

 The prison officer said he had sat through an eye-watering 130 hours of needlework spread over the course of a year

'I wanted to get something which was unique, which nobody else had or would even think of getting,' Mr Baxter - who hails from Bacchus Marsh near Melbourne - said.

'I'm a huge fan of the show. I love the tattoo, and I know lots of other people, including my grandchildren, do too.'

To claim his record, Mr Baxter has to depose New Zealand's Lee Weir who has the 'most tattoos of the same cartoon character tattooed on the body'.

Mr Weir has 41 tattoos of Homer Simpson on his left arm. 

Despite Mr Baxter's tattoo including lots of different characters, he understands that because all the characters are from the same show, he is eligible to make a claim for the record.

'Guinness have accepted my application, but I have a lot of paperwork to fill out,' he said.

Supporting characters - such as Sideshow Bob, the Comic Book Guy, Ned Flanders, Principal Skinners - are littered among the faces that span across Mr Baxter's back

Mr Baxter's tattoo has pushed him onto the international stage, with pictures of his tattoos being spread all over the world via the internet.

A campaign has even launched in the U.S. to persuade The Simpsons producers Matt Groening and James L. Brooks to invite him to appear in animated form on the show.

'I'm recognised everywhere. My friends love it, especially the attention it's now getting. They all think the tattoo's awesome, especially when they see it in the flesh,' Mr Baxter said.

'My wife Sharyn, 50, and daughters Michelle, 31 and Rebecka, 29, love it. My seven-year-old grandson Kohen and my five-year-old granddaughter Milah, think it's fantastic.'

Even Mr Baxter's tattoo artist, Jade Baxter Smith, has been 'overwhelmed' by the attention she has received over her artwork.

'I'm known now as the girl who did "that Simpsons tattoo",' she said.

When Mr Baxter first approached Ms Smith with the idea, she did not take him seriously.

'Michael came to me and said he wanted all The Simpsons characters on his back. I laughed and thought he was joking,' the tattoo artist, who has been working since she was 18, said.

Mr Baxter has volunteered to travel with Ms Smith to tattoo expos since the artwork was completed in 2013.

'I'm happy for Jade to use me to promote her work. We've got the Melbourne expo this week. I go and people take photos,' he said.
