And Reynolds' choice of artwork was his nickname and birthdate -- "Jacko 6.4.1912" -- inked on his right shoulder.
The British news show Good Morning Britain captured Reynolds' experience on camera and by the looks of it he was a real trooper with a great sense of humor.
"He initially joked about getting it on his bottom, but then wasn't too keen on having to get out his bum to show people," his 55-year-old daughter Jayne Goodwin told Guinness World Records.
