From midnight on Thursday 12th June to midnight on Friday 13th, Oliver Peck completed 415 tattoos to different parts of customer’s bodies.

Yet the 36-year-old artist must be seeing the number 13 in his dreams as he was asked to apply the unlucky number to scores of arms, legs, ankles, backs, thighs and even some rear ends.

He was later awarded the honour by a Guinness adjudicator.

For several years on Friday the 13th, Elm Street Tattoo in the Deep Ellum entertainment district in Dallas has launched a 24-hour tattoo marathon.

Peck, who co-owns the tattoo parlour, said: “It’s an adrenaline rush.”

Some of Peck’s customers included firefighters, police officers, bartenders, a vehicle inspector, a nurse and a surgeon.

By the time the marathon began, a line of customers snaked out the door and onto Elm Street.
