Just Out of Reach…
Last week Inked Talk featured John Paul “JP” Bertrand’s attempt at breaking Oliver Peck’s world record for the most tattoos completed in a 24-hour period. The tattoo attempt was made yesterday, October 23, 2008, but Bertrand failed to beat Peck’s record of 415 tattoos within 24 hours.
Crowds gathered outside of Key West Ink to get a free tattoo as a part of the record attempt. Even the rain after nightfall couldn’t keep the enthusiastic crowds away from Key West. Participants could choose from one of four simple designs, which is what Bertrand feels kept his efforts from reaching the 416 tattoos needed to break the record.
A picture from the Key West Ink website shows the early-day crowd.
Bertrand completed 371 tattoos, which is an average of 15.5 tattoos per hour for a full 24 hour period.
“It’s hard to focus in 24 hours on four different things and make it flow fast,” Bertrand commented. He plans to make another attempt at the record in the future, but he will feature just one tattoo design in order to streamline the process.
