The Army and Royal Navy have held a tattooathon to raise funds for charity.<\/p>\n
All of the money collected will go to the Braveheart Programme, which was set up in 2009 to help veterans struggling with the psychological after effects of being at war.<\/p>\n
Two tattoo parlours – one representing each strand of the military – competed to see who could collect the most cash.<\/p>\n
Max's Tattoo Studio in Aldershot represented the Army, while the Black Rose Tattoo Parlour supported the Royal Navy.<\/p>\n
One of those doing the designs is Max Braveheart, who next year is going to attempt to ink 1,000 people with poppies in 24 hours, according to the Plymouth Herald.<\/p>\n
Businesses from around the UK are being encouraged to add one day's takings to the pot to help raise cash for the good cause.<\/p>\n
Former MP Martin Bell is the patron of the Braveheart Programme, which focuses on research into Combat Related Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.<\/p>\n
