I Went To See 77 People Get “Yes Scotland” Tattoos In The Name Of Independence

The queue was around the block for Yes tattoos in Kirkcaldy. Let’s just hope they don’t change their minds.

Last night Yes voters gathered outside Spaghetti Tattoos in the coastal town of Kirkcaldy. They were there to get Yes Scotland tattoos at two quid a pop.

The idea came about when Aphra Wilson, a tattoo artist, inked a couple of people with Yes tattoos. Then she got dozens of Facebook messages, and eventually decided to invite anyone who wanted a pro-independence tattoo to come along and get one for a donation of £2, with the money going towards opening a nearby HQ for Yes Scotland. This time, the money's going to a foodbank.

Kirkcaldy may be the hometown of Gordon Brown, but the queue was around the block. It didn't quite reach the sea.

Wilson's a pretty staunch Yes supporter. There were Yes posters on the shopfront.
