MYKOLAIV, UKRAINE (CBS) — A Mykolaiv tattoo artist stated on Wednesday he set a brand new Ukrainian world report for steady tattooing of 63 hours.
After trying to beat the previous record of 61 hours held by a Russian, Denys Arkhypov, a tattoo grasp, inked continuously from Sunday evening to Wednesday morning.
“I learn within the information {that a} Russian holds the present report. I believed I’ve to beat him, as that is one other entrance line as effectively,” stated Arkhypov.
“Then, our guys from the 79th separate air-assault brigade turned to us for assistance, and all of it match collectively.”
Volunteer and tattoo fanatic Rostyslav Ron instructed Reuters on the final day of the marathon while getting his body {art} finalized, that he bought a lion tattoo to donate to the Ukrainian military.
“The 79th brigade, the brigade from our hometown of Mykolaiv, (is) in want of a pick-up truck. They’re displaced in harmful spots in the Donetsk area,” Ron stated.
Arkhypov, who was a marathon runner, inked nine tattoos. Each one was large and complicated. Arkhypov also had just five minutes each hour to rest, eat and drink espresso.
Veronika Havryliuk was his assistant and was also the moderator for a livestream that documented the event.
Arkhypov was forced to work with or without a generator, connecting to a generator, and using batteries.
The Ukrainian report was submitted at 09:12 (0712 GMT). To make the report official, the committee will send a petition to Guinness E book of Information.
