Andy calls himself the ‘illustrated man child’ and is the most visibly tattooed front line nurse in the NHS. His tattoos spring from ‘spontaneous enthusiasm’ and his addiction to pain. He is a self proclaimed ‘fashionista’ inspired by the likes of David Bowie, Elvis and punk rock and is about to launch a fashion blog. He is driven and inspired by controversy, sub-culture and turning heads. When he was younger, he spent a lot of time playing Rock and roll and going to night clubs. A few years ago, he went on a night out and woke up with muffled hearing which was irreversible. He adjusted, embraced it and moved on.
