Proud Teddy Boy John Turner wears his heart on his chest, quite literally, with a striking portrait tattoo of Elvis Presley. The iconic image was etched onto his skin within hours of hearing the devastating news of the King's untimely demise in 1977. Southsea's renowned tattoo artist, Taffy Bull, skillfully brought this heartfelt tribute to life for a mere £10. Capturing the essence of Elvis's charisma and charm, the design was carefully selected from one of his beloved album covers. Every detail meticulously inked onto John's chest serves as a permanent reminder of their shared love for the music legend. In this photograph print by Carl Bruin, we witness not only an extraordinary piece of body art but also a profound connection between fan and idol.

Transporting us back to the vibrant era of the 1970s, this snapshot encapsulates both cultural significance and personal sentimentality. It is a testament to the enduring power that artists like Elvis possess over their fans even long after they have left this world.
