Man threatened with arrest for X-rated stomach tattoo: ‘It’s obscene’

Can you stand this ink?

A man has ‘no regrets’ about this lewd tattoo that spans his stomach and depicts a naked woman with her legs wide open.

It took just four hours and less than $70 for Richard Hart, 60, to get his hand-drawn design inked for his 40th birthday in South Wales – and he says most people wouldn’t are not confused by this bizarre drawing.

“If I had a pound for everyone who asked to have a picture with it, I would be a very rich man,” he told Southwest News Service.

However, law enforcement isn’t always so amused by X-rated tattoos.

When Hart traveled to Spain, the cops even threatened to arrest him if he didn’t cover the ink with a shirt.

“I was in Benidorm and it was really hot, I took my top off and two police officers came and told me to cover up or they would handcuff me,” recalls Hart, a retired bar owner.

“We had a bit of an argument: I had to wear a t-shirt for the rest of the vacation.”

“But I have to hide it in front of my grandchildren,” he said. Richard Hart / SWNS

Hart was first inspired by his tattoo artist’s brother, who had tattooed “a naked woman” and thought he “could go further.”

“It’s obviously a little obscene, but it never bothers me,” he said of the ink he has now stuck to his stomach for two decades.

Hart’s partner Kay Ritchie, 66, isn’t bothered by the lewd ink, and Hart says his daughter Melissa, 38, and son Alex, 35, are “okay” with it.

However, he admitted: “But I have to hide it in front of my grandchildren. »
