An Indian businessman has had the flags of more than 300 countries tattooed on his body to promote world peace.Har Prakash, who also likes to call himself Guinness Rishi, has 305 flags and 185 maps of countries tattooed on his body and is planning more in a world record bid.
“People call me a joker, a mad man. It doesn’t bother me,” he told the Mumbai Mirror.
Prakash, an auto parts manufacturer from New Delhi, started getting tattoos on his body in 2009. He is currently in Kathmandu, Nepal, for an international tattoo conference.
While there, he plans to get more flags inked on his body and create a new world record – but he says his real ambition is to promote friendship between nations.
“My dream is to go around the world several times,” he said.
“I want the children of those countries to ask me, where is the flag of our country, spot it and then, in the process, become aware of my country and other countries as well.”
As well as tattoos, he is also keen on getting his name in the record books.
His 22 records include the longest will in the world and delivering a pizza from New Delhi to San Francisco.
