The Simpsons super-fan breaks Guinness World Record with amazing Homer Simpson tattoo

A true work of art...

JOE

A true work of art…

According to Guinness World Records, Lee Weir, a 27 year old Simpsons fan from New Zealand, has set a new record for the most tattoos of the same cartoon character tattooed on the body, after devoting one of his arms to the appreciation of Homer, the amazing animated show’s beloved Dad.

41 tattoos!? Here at JOE we also absolutely love Homer Simpson, but even we haven’t gone quite this far; we stopped at 28 tattoos obviously.

But why would somebody get so many tattoos of Homer Simpson we hear you ask? Well, according to The Metro, Lee’s father, who The Simpsons fan has dubbed the “real-life Ned Flanders,” never let him watch the show as a youngster as he deemed it inappropriate.

His Dad must be so proud now. We know we are. Excellent work Lee, excellent work.
