You wouldn’t put anything past the Guinness World Record award committee these days.

So it should come as no surprise that a man has been bestowed with the newly prestigious record for ‘the most tattoos of the same cartoon character tattooed on the body’.

Lee Weir, 27, of Auckland, New Zealand, has various incarnations of Homer Simpson inked on his left arm.

Simpsons nerds will recognise Homer in the land of chocolate, donut Homer, Mr Sparkle, Ganesh Homer, Homer’s exact double Guy Incognito and many other odes to the show’s earlier, better seasons.


Like me, Lee probably wouldn’t have to look any of those Homeric guises up, put unlike me, Lee decided to have Homer in his various forms etched permanently into his skin – all for his name to appear in the coveted book.



However, there’s another reason Lee is such a Simpsons fiend: his father, who Lee has dubbed the ‘real-life Ned Flanders’, never let him watch the show as a youngster as he deemed it inappropriate.

Well he’s certainly got his fix now.
