10/10 for originality.

Here at theLADbible we're used to hearing about some pretty stupid tattoos during lads holidays. We know the drill... you get pissed, you hand over £50 to some bloke with a rusty needle in a back alley and the next morning you wake up hungover and filled with regret.

It takes something pretty special to make us writers stand up and say 'fucking hell' - we've seen it all before.

So shout out to 18-year-old Joe Meracap, whose tattoo is notable not just for being a standard pissed up mistake but for its originality and defamation of a man many consider to be a national treasure.

Here it is...


Yeh, you read it right mate, the tattoo around his nipple reads 'Gary Lineker shags crisps'.

Originally Joe, a Chelsea fan, was going to get the tattoo if Southampton managed to beat Manchester United in their match the other week, which him and his mates were watching whilst on holiday in Kavos. But even though Saints didn't win, after a few pints he decided he might as well anyway. His mate Jordan got a lightsaber tattooed on his foot and another mate Martin got 'Kavos 2016' on his arse.

Joe is unable to recall why exactly he chose to get 'Gary Lineker shags crisps', but speaking about Lineker, Joe said: "He's a nice bloke and I like him on Match Of The Day, but he played for Tottenham which is unforgivable."

Fair enough then mate, he also may or may not shag crisps, that's pretty unforgivable too.

Joe's mate Jordan who tweeted the picture and let us know about it, said: "He was the one who came up with idea for the tattoo, he thought it would be funny to rip the man by getting it tattooed on him. If he had Twitter, Joe would be one of those guys that would respond to all Gary Lineker's tweets saying 'shat on crisps and things like that'."

Joe is yet to tell his parents about the tat and he doesn't intend to until he's got it removed, which is probably for the best because he's starting uni next month and he's hoping to become a PE teacher.

Reflecting on getting the tattoo, Joe said: "It's 1000% the stupidest thing I've ever done."

There can be no arguing with that.

If you're reading this Gary, let us know if there's any truth to the rumour, no smoke without fire and all that...
