“I dedicate it to my daughter”: this man had the name “Lucy” tattooed 267 times to 667 times to reset the Guinness Record

They say that “for everyone, his name is the sweetest and most important sound in any language.” However, for a father who loves tattoos, his daughter’s name has become twice the reason to get into the Guinness Book of Records.

Mark Owen Evan’s skin is like a large canvas or blackboard with the name: “Lucy” tattooed dozens of times.

Owen is British, he is 49 years old and six years ago he achieved a Guinness Record, which he lost to someone else who loves tattoos just like him. So he tried again.
