Former British Soldier Has Names Of Troops Killed In Afghanistan Tattooed On His Body



Shaun Clark has given his body to remembering the fallen.

The 43-year-old British man is a former solider who has decided to honor the 232 British troops killed in Afghanistan since 2002 by having their names tattooed across his body.

According to the Daily Mail, Clark spent four hours having the names placed across his chest and back. As he told the BBC, ""I know it's a bit extreme... but it's my way of honouring all those men and women." The tattoo artist who did the work told the BBC he gathered the names with the help of Britain's Ministry of Defence.

2. Is there any human body big enough for all of the names?

Me thinks not.
