Biffy Ckyro Singer Shows off Tattoos at Glastonbury

Ayrshire rocker Simon Neil, lead singer of the band Biffy Clyro, was showing off his tattoos at Glastonbury this weekend.



The band lead singer always goes topless when he’s performing because he gets so hot from boucing around. It's a great way for fans to check out his many tattoos. The band played at the pyramid stage on Friday and you can check out their performance on the BBC2 website.

Jo Whiley did ask him about his tattoos in an interview with Simon Neil and the rest of the band. He said that everyone has a few tattoos in the band but he has the most. He was 21 when he first had a tattoo but was addicted to tattoos straight away. He always uses the same tattoo artist and he has about 30 tattoos so far including one on his back that says "keep on dreaming boy cause when you stop dreaming it's time to die" and a gun on his hip and loads of art.

First Tattoo For Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston is the opposite of Angelina Jolie when it comes to tattoos. While Angelina Jolie has so many tattoos all over her body, Jennifer Aniston only just got her first tattoo. Not having tattoos did not stop her from getting the "decade of hotness" award during the Spike TV awards only a few weeks ago. She was celebrated for being so fit.

It was revealed ealier this week as she was taking a walk in downtown New York City. The tattoo, on the inside of her right foot, is just one name: "Norman". It is the name of her Welsh corgi-terrier mix, who died in May at 15 years old, according to People magazine.



Tattoos Sold to Brands for Olympic Gold

Top Australian beach volleyballer Claire Kelly is planning to get inked in order to get her and partner Carla Kleverlaan to the London Olympics in 2012. She is offering potential sponsors space on her body for an advertising tattoo or a brand tattoo.

This is a brave move by athlete Claire Kelly and highlights her ambition to get Olympic gold.

For $10,000 (US $10,500) sponsors can buy a 0.8 x 0.8 inch piece of Kelly's left arm while $50,000 (US $52,490) buys a 1.9 x 1.9 inch space on her right arm or shoulder. She has made up several similar packages which are on offer on eBay and brands are already looking into this possible advertising space.

The money raised by the sale will pay for the two athletes to join the world pro tour. The women have to play in at least 12 events on the tour to make it to the London 2012 Olympic stadium in Stratford, East London.




She is determined to make it and get a medal. Then I guess she can decide on her own tattoo designs.
