Tattoos are on you for life; models like Jimmy Q and Billy Huxley famously have tattoos on their arms, hands, face and legs. They sport tattoos such as vintage pin-up girls, skulls and flowers but it seems Vin Los has got the wrong end of the stick. The wannabe model has over 24 tattoos on his face and hundreds more around his body of ‘random words’. Words such as ‘Sex Bomb’ ‘Guilty’ and ‘Tokyo’ cover him from head to toe.
Vin Los caught the tattoo addiction when he was just 16 getting his first tattoo – the Le Coq Sportif logo.
Speaking exclusively to Vice he says “I want to be an image for people to look at, something that has an impact. Everybody who sees me is bound to ask questions: Why fame? What’s his life like?”
To conclude, there is one thing tattooing inspirational quotes on yourself, but random words like ‘sex bomb’ don’t really float our boat, lets just hope it doesn’t catch on!

All of which raises the awkward question, does marking one’s face and body really make one famous or just a passing anomaly?
