— Vanessa Feltz, 51 (photographed with Bob Marley on left arm, although it’s not known to be permanent).
— Vladimir Franz, 54, composer and university professor who came fifth in this year’s Czech presidential elections (entire face covered with swirling motifs).
— John Fetterman, mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania (town’s postcode on his left forearm; dates of five murders in the town on his right).
— 21% of US adults, according to a Harris poll last year.
