Getting to the Point of the Gospel
Jan 7, 11:13 am ET
FORT WORTH, Texas (Reuters) - A Texas man who uses tattoos to spread the
Gospel believes he set a new world record during the weekend by adorning
the skin of one of his friends -- non-stop for more than 30 hours.
Tattoo artist Bobby Doran, who says he shares his Christian faith while
tattooing, went to work on his friend Bill Davis, and after 30 hours and
15 minutes of continuous work, covered much of his body with images of
skulls, dragons, lightning, clouds and Jesus.
"I can talk a little gospel to the people," Doran said of his work.
According to Guinness World Records, the longest continuous tattoo
session had been 27 hours, 12 minutes set in Britain about two years
ago.
"I'm still wondering why we did it," Doran said on Monday, adding that
he wanted to put the Texas city on the map.
Doran said he used about a week's worth of ink on his friend. His tattoo
parlor was mobbed with people when the pair said they had broken the
record.
Doran tattooed Davis' arms with an image of Jesus, a female clown,
clouds and other tattoos. His legs were adorned with dragons, flames and
skulls and a jester was drawn on his back.
"The tattoos didn't hurt so bad, but sitting in that chair for 30 hours
was a real pain," Davis said.
He said his back still burned a bit on Monday from the record bid and he
planned to stay home from work until Jan. 14 to recover.
Davis did not pay for Doran's work. He was to help paint and renovate
flooring at Doran's studio in exchange.
"There ain't no tattoo in the world better than a free tattoo," Doran
said.
