Inspired! This man found the perfect way to make his George Osborne tattoo far less offensive

We’ve probably all made bad choices when stinking drunk – but imagine the horror when this man woke up not just with a hangover, but a huge George Osborne tattoo on his back.

“I’ve done some really stupid thing when I’m pissed, but getting a tattoo of the Chancellor of the Exchequer must be right at the top,” says Jerry Collins, 32, from Grantham, Lincolnshire.

“And the worst thing is I didn’t realise I’d had it done until a couple of days later, when I saw a reflection of my back in the bathroom mirror. Up til then I thought the pain I was feeling was down to the bottle of budget vodka I’d drunk a few day before. I was absolutely mortified.”

After returning to the tattooists to discuss what could be done, Collins hit upon the perfect solution to make the tattoo of one of the most despised men in the UK less offensive.

“We decided to disguise Osborne by drawing Rolf Harris over him. I’d rather have the leering image of a remorseless sex offender inked on my back than that of a toady little shithorn like Osborne.”
