It seems ‘Corbynmania’ remains well and truly alive if images of Jeremy Corbyn’s face tattooed onto a man’s back are anything to go by.

The picture, showing a rather large head-shot of the Labour leader inked on to the right side of a man’s back, was shared on Twitter by a friend of the Corbyn fan.

The unknown recipient of the inking is apparently enjoying his new body-art going viral. He is reportedly finding “the whole thing side-splittingly funny”.

Mr Corbyn regularly packed out venues in the run-up to his victory in the Labour leadership, with a landslide of 59.5% of first preference votes.

However, people choosing to have permanent fixtures of politicians on their body is evident across the political spectrum.

At the annual UKIP conference in September, Nigel Farage met super-fan Kerrie Webb, and even signed her inking of the Eurosceptic politician on her arm.

A spokesperson for Mr Corbyn told The Independent he was unsure whether the MP had seen the tattoo, but said his team was shown the image on Monday.
