Tesco shopper grew tired of forgetting his Clubcard – so got the QR code permanently tattooed onto his wrist. On Saturday (July 16), Dean Mayhew spent £200 on the black and white inking at A Star Tattoos in Chessington, south-west London.

A video shows Dan Rossetter stencilling the code onto a sheet of paper before transferring it on to the 30-year-old scaffolder's wrist.

I use it every morning when I go to Tesco before work."I used it this morning. It's one of those things where I get to see peoples faces and make them smile."One lady giggled and asked me for a photo."I've wanted to do it for ages, about three months I've been thinking about it.
