Volkswagen fan has Beetles on his back

A VW fanatic has turned himself into a "walking billboard" for the cult car-maker - with camper vans and Beetles tattooed over his back and arms.

Chris Redford, 28, is so obsessed with the German car-maker, he even plans to name his first daughter, due next month, Victoria Willow - to give her the iconic initials.

He has spent about £3,000 on the tattoos.



Shopkeeper Chris, of Eastbourne, said: "When I was about 16, a couple of my friends bought Beetles and I just fell in love with them. Now they're a major part of my life."

He is also planning more tattoos - including a new logo revealed recently by VW in Germany - and a pair of VW-branded wasps on his bottom.

His current collection of tattoos includes the number plates of all the VWs he has owned set in hearts, and the front of a giant winged Beetle between his shoulder blades. He is now keen to get the back of the vehicle tattooed across his chest.
