King of Mann gets Manx tat

The self-proclaimed King of Mann has been showing off a right royal tattoo on Twitter.

David Howe, from Maryland, claims his genealogy research shows he’s the rightful ruler of the Isle of Man – and he’ll be starring in his own reality TV show to be shown in the US later this year.

After The Learning Channel greenlit the show – which will be shot on the Island over the summer – Mr Howe’s been under the needle to showcase his Manx links.

On Twitter this morning, he showed off a huge crown, sword, letter D and the three legs of Mann design he’s had inked onto his left leg with the caption “done”.
