Tattooed Arms
PEERS TUCK SLEEVES UP AT BOXING DINNER resounding applause (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) (United Service) LONDON, Friday, iaking off his jacket and tucking up his shirt-sleeves, Lord Lonsdale, at a boxing dinner in Glasgow, displayed, amid resounding applause, two arms tattooed from the armpit to the wrist.
The Duke of Montrose followed suit. The display was followed by a speech in which the Duke said that many years ago he wanted to see how a tattoo was done. He took the opportunity, when in Australia, seeing a card outside a house, “Tattooes made.” “I entered out of curiosity, but when on the top of the stairs, I saw behind me two heavy-weight, boxers. I decided there and then that the only way to see tattooing was to have it done on myself.”
