Man to become world's oldest person to get tattoo aged 104

A great-granddad from Derbyshire is set to become the oldest person in the world to get a tattoo to celebrate his 104th birthday.

Chesterfield resident Jack Reynolds appeared on Good Morning Britain, with host Susanna Reid describing him as her “all-time favourite guest”.

The centenarian, who two years ago became the oldest person to complete the Ice Bucket Challenge, has also revealed where he would like to get it.

“On my bum. I'd prefer to see it on my arm, but I've got skinny arms. I've got weights to try and make them bigger, but we'll see,” he said.

Asked if he was nervous about getting the tattoo done, he replied: “I'm a big strong lad - and I've have plenty of needles in me in my time, in various places.”

The silver surfer’s daughter Jayne, who says Guinness World Records have confirmed it would be a new record, explained he is very much young at heart and an avid internet user who is active on Facebook.

She told the Ilkeston Advertiser: “Dad wanted to do something to raise money for charity again and I suggested he have a tattoo which he agreed to. We all think it’s great.
