London Ink - Ricky Hatton

" Boxing royalty is about to grace the London Ink studio."

" Ricky is from Gold's contract. Manchester that is."

" The Hitman's arrival is causing a stir and no one is more excited than boxing fanatic, Nikole."

" Not many here, `coz Ricky Hatton is coming in, isn't he? He's really [unk]"

" Ricky has asked Louis to come up with a lion design."

" When he comes in for the consultation, I'm not gonna show him anything. I'm gonna ask him what he wants first. If he describes something along the lines of what I've already draw. [unk]. It's the one I did earlier and hopefully he'll like it."

" How're you?"

" Hi Ricky. Good to meet you."

" Hi. Good to see you."

" Nice to see someone from the fellow country."

" From Manchester."

" Hi there. Are you doin' okay?"

" Yeah."

" [unk] wait until today [unk]."

" I just give him one, anyway."

" [unk]"

" With a crown to it. With a crown to it."

" You're after a lion?"

" I am, yeah."

" Where's it gonna go?"

" Mid-shoulder."

" Top of the arm."

" Yeah."

" On the deltoid?"

" Not bad. Catch my eyes, it's like a--"

" a jewel."

" I've just literally knocked this off like 10 minutes before you came in. If I do this and then make some of these areas like solid black, and then just paint it all a bit of the grey. Just to give the--"

" Yeah."

" Would you be up `til we [unk] of that?"

" Yeah. That's for a million miles offer."

" So if I do that, as I've said with a bit of more black in it, but with the partial crown underneath it or behind it. There."

" Yeah."

" Alright, can you give me couple minutes while I redraw this thing?"

" Nikole then pounces on Ricky with the proposition of her own."

" Pardon."

" Do you think you could tattoo me later?"

" Tattoo, here?"

" Yeah, she wants a tattoo of you."

" I'm not done."

" We're not shitting you."

" Just something, I just want some little boxing gloves or something."

" Yeah."

" What's that you're driving, ha?"

" I'll show you how to do it."

" No, I'll show you what I do."

" No, I'll show ya."

" [unk]."

" Ricky has chosen to be inked by Louis having been recommended by a close friend."

" Lately I've become quite pally with David Beckham. I mentioned to him that I was coming down. He speaks very highly of him so I think I'm totally in the best hands possible for having what I want done."

" You just stand there first, Rick. I just wanna [unk] just stand normal, relax and"

" [unk]."

" Let's get ready to rumble. "

" True to form, Ricky shows no signs of flinching."

" Actually, it's not as bad as someone punching on you in the kisser."

" Yes, I'm sure you've been through a lot worse."

" Nikole is also hard at work, penning a boxing design for Ricky. "

" Very nice."

" I know, [unk]. I was gonna let you draw but [unk] dear."

" And then?"

" Or may be we could just do one."

" Naive."

" There."

" [unk]."

" Why not here, underneath?"

" [unk]."

" Well."

" detail that goes into the crown and into it."

" We're just, we're [unk] of it."

" Absolutely delighted with it."
