mentioned in fthc blog post dated 14th April 2009 :" I return from the wilds of Birmingham, where I have been availing myself of the talents of Mr Matt Hunt, tattooist extraordinaire. I got a Hans Holbein Jr woodcut done on my right arm to match the Nambucca Rooster on my left. Pics when it’s not covered in ink and blood, haha." http://frank-turner.com/2009/04/14/sett ... -straight/

He does have excellent taste
photos of the tattoo can be found in the Mongol Hord photos sets (Ben Morse, Dan Griffiths) which I think I linked to earlier in the thread

"I saw the picture you uploaded about your new ink.
Everyone in the band has been ripping on me saying that it is a Foo Fighters tattoo. I’m like mother fuck. It’s cool though, I got it done by Oliver [Peck], who is the Warped Tour tattooist. He’s a good dude. He is famous for tattooing hard and fast. He did both of these in a half hour, which hurt like balls. They say that you never get any drop out ink from an Oliver Peck tattoo. I know him through Lucero really, he is friends with those guys and jumps on their bus all the time.
The reasoning behind the tattoo choice?
I like old violins and old Tele’s and I think it’s a cool tattoo. It’s not massively complicated."
I like Living Ink - Frank has some wonderful pieces
