Walking-related tattoos are popular and no wonder – when they remind us of something that’s contributed so much to our lives. If you’re thinking of getting one, take inspiration from some of the 1000-milers who’ve taken the plunge already… (Click the pics to expand)
PS – The idea for this gallery came after we bumped into Charlene Harry, whose tattoo you can see in the pic. Last year she was up to 600 miles when she had an unlucky step on Snowdon and broke her leg. She commemorated the event by having the mountain tattooed on her ankle!
