Picture: Irish lad’s tribute to Home and Away character’s tattoo is brilliant

One Home and Away character has a very distinctive tattoo but this Irish version is much, much better.

You may or may not be familiar with Darryl 'Brax' Braxton. He’s a character (played by Steve Peacocke) in sun and surf soap Home and Away and he has a very distinctive tattoo on the show.

Don't worry, it's not real. It's painted on each day, it takes one hour and we bet the script writers regret ever adding it to the storyline.

Anyway, thanks to JOE reader Ross Kelly, who sent us this snap of friend, we now have an Irish version of Blood and Sand and it’s brilliant.

We do wonder though, is it also fake, like the bold Brax? If it’s real, that’s a huge commitment to a joke.

Either way, hats off.
