Kristen Hanby, the British content creator known for his wild pranks and cheeky online presence, has opened up once again about the stories behind five more of his tattoos. In this fourth installment, Hanby takes us deeper into the messy, hilarious, and sometimes profound world etched onto his skin — proving that ink, for him, is just another form of storytelling.
- Mum’s Face – A Punchline with Sentiment
The first tattoo Kristen reveals is of his mother’s face — not your usual tribute. In classic Hanby fashion, he jokes that he got it so he could “punch it when [he’s] mad,” but quickly softens with genuine affection, calling her “the real OG.” It’s a signature Kristen blend of comedy and love, turning what could be a heartfelt gesture into something playfully irreverent.
- Sparrow-Looking “Fraud” – A Tattoo Gone Sideways
Originally planning a detailed eagle for his belly, Kristen admits he bailed mid-process, opting instead for a “little sparrow-looking fraud.” The result is a tattoo born out of hesitation, but embraced with self-deprecating humor. It reflects his ability to roll with imperfection — and laugh at it.
- Head in Space – A Visual Diary of Chaos
Perhaps the most introspective of the five, this tattoo of a person with their head in space speaks to Hanby’s internal world. Describing his mind as having been on “another planet most of [his] life,” he hints at a more chaotic, mental side rarely seen in his comedic content. He calls it a “visual diary” of his brain — a rare glimpse of vulnerability.
- Arrow Through the Knee – Random Ink, Random Laughs
In true Hanby style, this tattoo is totally meaningless — an arrow through the knee, placed on a whim just to “stick something there.” He now jokes that he has a “random arrow injury 24/7.” This piece underscores his impulsive nature and the carefree, almost rebellious way he treats body art.
- Finally, we have a tattoo of a plane circling the globe — a nod to his jet-setting lifestyle. Though he admits it’s “not the cleanest tattoo,” it captures the transient, suitcase-living phase of his life. It’s a reminder that meaning doesn’t always come from perfect execution, but from capturing a feeling.
Conclusion: Inked in Chaos, Humor, and Honesty
Kristen Hanby’s tattoo stories are far from traditional — they are chaotic, deeply personal, and hilariously unfiltered. Whether it’s a spontaneous scribble or a metaphor for mental space, each piece reflects a part of his unpredictable personality. With dozens more likely to come, it’s no wonder he jokes: “I’ve got enough ink stories to fill a Netflix doc.”
