Man wants tattoos of every flag

Monday, August 3, 2009
An Indian man wants to get into the record books for being the first person in the world tattooed with every flag.

Guinness Rishi, 67, is no stranger to weird records. He built the world's largest sugar cube tower, and changed his name in honour of the famed record book. But his latest record attempt is his most audacious yet.

Rishi plans to cover his entire body, including his balls and bum, with 220 flags. He already has the flags of the UK, Canada, India, USA, Cyprus, and the Indian Congress Party printed on his face.

He told the UK's Sun, "I will get eight tattoos done on bony areas such as my face each month and up to 16 on fleshy areas such as my stomach. I am tattooing my entire body including my private parts, but I am not sure which flag I will be sticking there."

Rishi has said he is determined to get the record, even though it has upset the missus. "My wife thinks that I'm a crazy guy. She feels shame by all this. She thinks I'll become a joker," he says. "She has told me she won't go out in public with me if I go through with this."

Explaining his drive to break records, Guinness Rishi said, "People who have no money wish to do something in their lives, so the poor people try to break records by their strength or their will."

i know of a guy who had "2 + 2 = 4" inked on his leg at the end of a big night out
well personally im not into tattood men, but if he is trying to prove something then good on him i hope he gets the record i respect that he is being open to all cultures tho his poor wife will feel awkward when she's sucking on a picture of a flag shes never seen before
getting someones name tatooed on yourself.or even your kids names.could u imagine ur mum or dad with ur name tattoed on them? how embarrasing.
All the stupid fan girls with twilight tattoos. I can respect you liking the books-movie ,whatever, but getting a tattoo of Robert Pattinson's face is just lame.
Including every flag on your body in tattoos is at least and act which brings mankind's awareness to our oneness in this world and that seems to be one of the aims of this man. I can't help but feel uplifted by his sentiment. Really stupid tattoos are verbally and visually rude, abusive, divisive and antagonistic. Stupid tattoos are placed badly, use tacky colours and are spelled wrong. A really really stupid tattoo is done at home by yourself or by a 'friend' with non-sterile tools and ink made for other purposes. Look up the 'Leopard Man' for an example of something in between ambition and bad judgement.
The first was a centaur with Patrick Swayze for a head and torso. What made it more ridiculous was the tuxedo the torso had on and the *** rainbow in the background... and it was on a guy's chest. The second was this dude who'd gotten his own name tattooed by a crap artist in ten inch letters up his arm. Vain much? Vain much too much.
He says, "People who have no money wish to do something in their lives". If he is poor, how can he pay for the tatoos?
"He already has the flags of the UK, Canada, India, USA, Cyprus, and the Indian Congress Party printed on his face." Pics or it didn't happen. Idiots.
kanji letters going down the side of a guys arm sayin "I paid way too much for this tatoo"
