Sorry, Turin: Bolton, England, has its own Jesus shroud now, too

1/2/2013

Terry O’Neill paid $1,466 for a massive tattoo of Jesus' face on his back. But when that ink created a 21st century Shroud of Turin? Well, that's priceless, we guess. The staff at Psycho Monkey, the Bolton, England, tattoo shop that did O'Neill's massive backpiece gave him a spare T-shirt to wear home so that the ink wouldn't ruin his clothes. When he stripped out of the borrowed tee, O'Neill saw Jesus staring back at him.  ("It was amazing," O'Neill said of the divine inkstain.) Although the huge tattoo took several sessions to complete, the newly devout rock drummer says he didn't consider using painkillers. "Jesus went through a lot more," he said. [Source]
