A man spent £600 on 23 tattoos showcasing stamps from every county he has visited - including Jamaica, China and Malta.<br /><br />Jay Przezdziecki, 50, had his first tattoo of a Malta passport stamp in September 2016 and his obsession spiralled from there.<br /><br />He now has over 20 tattoos which include some of his favourite places to visit such as Barbados, Jamaica, Bali, and Cuba and has spent 23 hours in the chair.<br /><br />Jay said he gets lots of questions about his tattoos with people asking what countries they belong to.<br /><br />Jay, a builder, from Lille, France, said: "My favourite place to go is the Philippines, it's so good due to the lovely people over there - also I loved South America and especially their food.<br /><br />"It takes about an hour a tattoo but some are bigger than others because they can be little bigger or longer.<br /><br />“It's a fun thing to do, it's an incentive to travel. I didn't get the tattoo to show off that was not the intention."<br /><br />Since his first time in the chair at Ink House London, Jay has been back 22 times and got tattoos of all the countries he has visited.<br /><br />Due to the size of the tattoo, Malta took the longest and Bosnia and Herzegovina took the least amount of time.<br /><br />Jay said: "I like the fact it makes me stand out. People always start the conversation regarding my passport stamps."<br /><br />"They always ask me if they are my stamps and if they are genuine before checking the places on my leg."<br /><br />The first tattoo of a country Jay got was Malta and his most recent once is Costa Rica.<br /><br />Jay estimates he has spent £600 on his tattoos and has spent 23 hours under the gun but isn't planning to stop anytime soon.<br /><br />Jay said: "I love travelling and I'm such a people person. I enjoy learning languages and discovering different landscapes and food."<br /><br />“At first it was cheaper, but it’s now £50 to £60 per tattoo. My tattoo of the Moroccan stamp cost me £90 due to its size."
