Up with that sort of thing. You need to keep it elevated.

Some people who get tattoos do so simply because they like the look of them but others do so to mark significant events in their lives.

If you’re a kickboxer like Jack Gallagher, recovering from a dislocated knee is a pretty significant event and Jack chose a novel way to mark his return from the serious injury he suffered back in November.

Obviously a big Father Ted fan, it’s as if Jack is trying to send his own knee a message with the tattoo below, but it will certainly serve as a distraction to opposition fighters in future if nothing else.

Hat-tip to Ger Lynch for sending this one our way
