A UKIP supporting mum has shown true devotion the party's beleaguered leader Nigel Farage - by having a tattoo inked on her arm.

Kerrie Webb, who lists herself as vice chair of UKIP's Chesterfield and North Derbyshire branch, has permanently adorned her right upper arm with and image of her political idol.

The 38-year-old asked Twitter users for ideas for the perfect portrait of Farage, before sitting for the eight-inch tattoo earlier this week.

She settled for an image complete with buttoned up collar and tie and just the hint of a smile.

Days before she went ahead with the unusual body art she tweeted: "Must be very brave or completely stupid cos some people might wanna beat me up for having a Farage tattoo."

The man himself could probably do with a little ego boost after failing to be elected as an MP last month before going back on promises to resign.

Farage told Breitbart London: "I’m stunned, and somewhat flattered that anyone would defile their body for me."

Webb later complained of 'tattoo flu' after her session under the needle.

She now says she is considering a quote from the long serving UKIP supremo to complement the tatt.
