Sylvester Stallone, 66, made a special appointment at the MD tattoo studio in Hollywood on Sunday for more tattoo’s, even though the place is usually closed that day.
Inside Stallone stripped off his shirt, while the tattoo artist taped plastic wrap over his existing tattoos and prepared to get to work.
Many of the tattoos Stallone has gotten in recent years are to cover scars that he has accumulated over his years in action films.
“I have all kinds of chest injuries; I tore my vein during ‘Rocky II’ and had 60 stitches,” Stallone told contactmusic.com. “If you’ve seen ‘ROCKY BALBOA’, you’ll know how bad they look. It got worse and worse, and people were saying, ‘Urgh, has he got varicose veins?’ So I thought, ‘f**k it’, and covered them with a tattoo of my wife.”
