David Dimbleby gets first tattoo aged 75

The fact that he wanted a scorpion surprised me? Closet Hells Angel? It's his bod, so why not.

Could have been a half eaten mars bar.

Maybe he'll put people off and it will become less common.

Did you deliberately intend the double meaning of "common" in this case?

"I thought it was wimpish having it just drawn on and I needed to man up," he said.

Good on him!

Well it’s his body & he wants it so why not? But national news it’s not

Slow news day?

Never mind Dimbleby,

Of singer Cheryl Cole, who has roses tattooed all over her bottom, he said: "I wasn't tempted to have any private parts decorated, I have to tell you."

EDIT: Wish I hadn't bothered now....

What a bell end.

Least when he dies they can identify his body easily, and he's supposedly nearer it than us.

No, it's a scorpion.

Ahh, my mistake. Thank you.
