A Donald Trump fan has got a tattoo of the moment the former US president punched the air after his shocking assassination attempt.

Tim Lease, a tattoo artist, was stunned when a man walked into his studio and asked to be inked with the now famous image of a bloodied Trump roaring “fight” at a rally in Pennsylvania over the weekend.

But the 41-year-old says he “never says never”.

The tattoo took three hours to create and cost its owner $700 (£540).

“This client I have tattooed before walked into the tattoo shop moments after the shooting,” Tim, from Orlando, Florida, told What’s The Jam.

“I had recently started an America themed sleeve on him.

“We were sitting on the couch in my studio.

“The iconic photo lit up the screen, he turned to me and said, ‘That would be a badass tattoo.’

“So I said, ‘Hell yeah brother, let’s do that sh*t right now.’

“A few short hours later I had it finished and posted it online.

“I knew it was going to go viral. I thought it might be fun.

“Since then I have been praised, criticised, and everything in between.”

Tim said he is “personally not involved in the political process” and described himself as a “well-educated conspiracy theorist”.

He said: “I made this tattoo purely out of a kind of historical pop culture, fun, ironic energy.

“I just love tattooing a lot, I’ve been an artist my entire life, music and fine art.

“So it has been interesting to have an experience like this.”

The post on Instagram, (@timleasetattoos), has gathered over 900 likes and tons of comments.

Max said: “That’s wild. The cult is really culting.”

Heliana added: “Great job, super bad taste, you gotta do what the clients want.”

Chase wrote: “The bloods not even dry and dudes got a tattoo already.”

Legrant commented: “Much respect, dude. Turn around time for high impact.”

Shino said: “Unfollowed immediately! Don’t care how much I enjoyed your work, this is tacky af, and it’s political af in a very VERY bad way.”

Ed added: “Anything for clout I guess.”

Someone else wrote: “Not the line work fascist.”

As it turns out, other people have had the same idea, including one man who visited Ryan Angel, a tattooist from Connecticut, US.

Sharing a video of his version of the historical moment, said: “Well, the guy who got the art is also my tattoo artist believe it or not.

“He came to the studio that night and had no idea that Trump got shot.

“Once I showed him he was like, ‘Damn that would be a fire tatt’ and I was like let’s do it.

“We knew it would go viral

“So we did it, posted it, and it blew up.”

The video, shared to Instagram, (@rygotthevybe), shows the tattoo on his mate’s arm.

As it pans around you can see Trump’s injured face, his fist held high and an American flag in the background.

The post has gathered over 51,200 views, as well as 1,100 likes and hundreds of comments.

Naz said: “This is genuinely the dumbest tattoo i’ve seen thus far.”

Eddie added: “Tattoo artists that actually agree to tattoo political stuff on their clients cannot be trusted. Like those who have nazi tattoos who would ever tattoo them, it’s weird and a bit concerning.”

Someone else wrote: “Tattoo look terrible.”
