Where's Wally?

Full Size

A cash-strapped 22-year-old who sought to have an entire Where’s Waldo scene inked on his back got a proposition from tattoo artist Rytch Soddy: Raise £500 (~$815) for London’s Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital, and the full-back piece is yours, free of charge.

John Mosley, a music producer, did him a few hundred better, raising a total of £2000 (~$3250) for the hospital that saved Soddy’s life when he was stung by a bee many years ago.

All told, the back-tat took 24 hours to complete. “It is the longest tattoo that I have ever completed in terms of the time taken,” Soddy is quoted as saying. “It was certainly more fun than the average tattoo and I am really pleased with it.”

The Norwich-based tattooist didn’t tell his client when it came time to draw in Waldo, because where’s the fun in that?
