For the passionate tattoo enthusiast, one tattoo just couldn’t satisfy him. Ray Houghton, a man from Manchester, started covering his body in tattoos when he was young and in the army. Now, at the age of 65, he has spent around $10,000 to ink his entire body, including his intimate areas.
Houghton had been eager to tattoo his genitals for some time, but his regular tattoo artist refused. He eventually found another artist who was willing to do it, and the process involved using a rolling pin to tattoo his private parts.
Despite the discomfort and swelling he experienced after the four-hour session on Christmas Eve in 2018, Houghton no longer feels the pain. He admitted that he receives a lot of messages on social media from men who are curious to see his genital tattoos, rather than women.
While it may be unusual to some, Houghton is content with his decision to fully tattoo his body, including his most sensitive areas.

Houghton is a big fan of Maori-inspired art and designs. According to him, all the tattoos he has are from men and never from women, so he shares them because they are already all over the internet anyway. He recently made the decision to cover up eight of his original tattoos that he got while serving in the Royal Artillery. These tattoos included images of a boat, a naked woman, the words “mom” and “dad,” and even a Geisha.
The gym owner in Alicante, Spain, confessed his desire to cover up signs of aging on his skin. He admitted feeling desperate to hide varicose veins and wrinkles, as he preferred to maintain a youthful appearance. Living in Spain now, he enjoys modifying his body art, mentioning that he even changed the images on his abs to match the overall design on his body.
In 1989, the gym owner achieved the title of North West Coast Bodybuilding Champion. Ray Houghton / SWNS was the proud winner.
Ray Houghton went as far as getting tattoos on his genitals, including his penis and testicles. Initially, he found it a little strange, but in the end, he was pleased with how it turned out. He enjoys the attention his tattoos receive and is not hesitant to interact with fans. Houghton finds it amusing that people appreciate the designs, and he even jokes about how strangers stop him when he is out walking his dog to ask for autographs.

“I no longer feel any discomfort, but the tattoo artist was surprised when I asked for a design on a sensitive part of my body,” he shared about his experience getting inked in a delicate area.
