Video Transcript ( less )

" Dan is now designing American student Celine's unusual tattoo. It's a souvenir of her time here and includes her favorite British things."

" I don't think I've ever been asked to do a sheep and a mackerel and a choo train in the same tattoo."

" Alright. Have a look in the mirror. So, what do you think?"

" Very nice."

" What's the fish?"

" Ah. My sea agent gave me a mackerel."

" If you're trying to say something."

" It's a long story. Well, I think he was."

" I think it's a long story."

" I think he was."

" And what's the sheep?"

" It's representative of when I went to Scotland and Wales as part of my time here in London. Found a lot of sheep everywhere, and they're so cute."

" All that's left is to put needle to skin and make the tattoo permanent. And the rest of the team looked on bemused. Celine is topping off her unique take on Britain with an old English motto. Our only problem is Dan is dyslexic; an Incan text for him is a nightmare."

" S O I T."

" Yeah."

" Q U I, yeah?"

" Hang on. Yeah. It's----"

" Q U I. Q U I."

" Yeah, and then----"

" Could we just double check that?"

" Maley."

" That's the right spelling, man."

" I knew that."

" What does it say?"

" You belong to thee who thinks it. It's from the Royal crest."

" Celine is a tattooist and I don't know. It was weird. It was like half graffiti, half old school, half, I don't know what the last half was, half mackerel."

" Oh! Hey, check that out. It's perfect. Better than I expected."

" I'm really glad that he took it and made it his own and put what he saw into it with the color and the styling, and it got on really well. It was perfect. It was great."

" You know my client was really lovely and she was that excited when she came in. She was really happy with the result and that makes me happy."
