Saturday Morning host James Martin on his dream tattoo

Towards the end of their long chat, Mark asked James about his obsession with other people’s tattoos.

“I’ve always wanted a tattoo but I’m not quite brave enough,” he said.

Mark showed off the tattoos down his arm, suggesting he should have one done with him.

Thinking about the idea, James admitted that he nearly got a tattoo done by Jay Hutton from Tattoo Fixers.

After sharing stories of people with tattoos during his show, James was asked what his first tattoo would be.

“People always say a block of butter but no,” he said, before revealing that it would be a polar bear.

“I used to be called a bear when I was a young kid,” James revealed, adding, “I always get close [to getting it done] but no.”
