The 67-year-old Indian man is tattooing the flags of every single country in the world on his body. Rishi changed his first name to Guinness (odd) and already holds four world records. His face has been reserved for the six flags that he considers most important, with the rest to be added to his body in descending alphabetical order. Guinness Rishi estimates the cost to be about £12,500 when all is said and done. Guinness Rishi, uniting the world, one tattoo at a time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Flag Tattoos:** Tattooing flags of every country in the world on his body is a trend that could be adopted by tattoo artists globally. - **Extreme Body Modification:** Guinness Rishi's extreme body modification journey is a trend that could inspire others to push the limits of body art. - **Personal Expression:** Using the body as a canvas for personal expression and conveying messages is a trend that is likely to continue to evolve in the future. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Tattoo Artist:** Tattoo artists could capitalize on the trend of extreme body modification and offer unique and creative ideas for customers. - **Travel & Tourism:** Using tattoos of flags as a unique way to show appreciation for different cultures could further promote the appeal of travel and tourism industry. - **Health & Beauty:** The personal expression trend could lead to the development of new sub-industries within the larger health and beauty industry, such as specialized tattoo removal or aftercare products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Condiment Tattoo Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heinz-tattoo-bottle.md) - [Bespoke Car Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Tattoo-Inspired-Land-Rover.md) - [Immigration System-Inspired Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passport-series.md) - [Travel-Inspired Canvas Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-passport-series.md) - [Transformative Survivor Tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mark-of-life.md) - [Tattoo-Covered Beer Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/86-tattoo-limited-edition.md) - [Ketchup-Colored Tattoo Inks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ketchupthemed-tattoo.md) - [Indigenous Artisan Rum Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/totem-project.md) - [Woman-Owned Tattoo Shops Contests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/womanowned-tattoo-shops.md)
