A TATTOO studio left its mark by raising £3,000 for a Hereford man who has been diagnosed with cancer.

The impressive sum was collected following a marathon tattoo session at Skinzophrenic Tattoos on West Street in Hereford where members of the public received a cancer ribbon tattoo for a minimum donation of £15.

A total of £1,500 was raised by the tattoos, with studio owner Peter Masters doubling the amount out of his own pocket.

He says the money will go towards his friend, 35-year-old Hereford resident Ben Wooles, who has been diagnosed with the disease.

One of the tattooists, Zac Morris, even carried out the artwork in his underpants.

Mr Morris recently returned from working in Iraq where Skinzophrenic has a studio which opened last year.
