An ex-soldier is keen to show his support for the armed forces by raising money for Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n
Shaun Clark embarked upon a brave project in 2009, when he decided to get every single name of each serviceman and woman killed on duty inked onto his body.<\/p>\n
He now has some 383 names written across his legs, chest and back as a mark of respect to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.<\/p>\n
Mr Clark heads to the tattoo parlour on Remembrance Day at exactly 11:00 GMT each year in order to add to his list and the painful feat has so far raised £4,500 for Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n
"I have friends who have served in Afghanistan. I wanted to keep what is going on over there in people's minds," he says.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, tattooist Jason Ling from Petersfield geared up for a record-breaking attempt of marking more than 800 people in 24 hours with an emblem of Help for Heroes, in a bid to raise money for the charity, the Petersfield Post reported.<\/p>\n
