Hamish Blake reveals the hilarious backstories behind his very questionable tattoos

Hamish Blake has revealed the hilarious backstory behind his homemade tattoos.

The TV star was a guest on pal Andy Lee’s quiz show The Hundred when he was encouraged to explain what one very questionable tattoo depicted.

‘Unfortunately it does look a bit like a snake resting on a penis,’ said the 39-year-old of two squiggly lines inked on his left arm.

The Lego Masters host clarified that that wasn’t actually what was drawn on his arm.

‘We went through a period on our radio show where we started a band, and because I was the drummer I allowed Andy and Jack [Post] to each tattoo one stick on my arm.’

Next to the drumsticks were stick figure portraits of Andy and Jack.

‘They’re portraits of them that I drew myself, which is pretty touching,’ admitted the comedian.

The funnyman was adamant he had no regrets about the very basic inkings on his arm however.

‘I think it’s possible to regret [tattoos] – not a familiar feeling for me, but I am sure there are people out there that unfortunately [regret theirs],’ Hamish joked.

It comes after Blake rolled up his sleeve for the Covid vaccine and urged fans to get vaccinated too.

Hamish took to Instagram earlier this month with a passionate and amusing plea to his followers to get the jab, along with a photo of himself setting the example at Homebush’s vaccination hub.    

The Hamish & Andy star began his caption, ‘Jabba Dabba Done. Tried to get my vaccine right through the Olympic Rings, but understand correct needle placement overruled symbolic photo op.’

The photo showed Hamish with sleeve rolled up, exposing a series of tattoos, including one of the Olympic rings. 

He continued, ‘To be honest, I feel immensely grateful to live in an age where super smart people are able to do incredible things like make a vaccine for something that has ground the world to a halt.’ 

‘Just as I do any time science solves something that could have easily killed you 100 years ago (or any time I use a phone, drive a car, have water come out of a tap, have a roof not fall on me etc, you know, #science).’

‘Now, I know I’m going to get heaps of comments like ‘Oh my god! Your tatts are amazing! Where did you get them!?’ which is super flattering, thank you, but it’s not why I’m posting this.’

He then issued his plea, writing, ‘What I REALLY hope is that by posting this, it lands in front of the eyes of someone who is quietly unsure about getting vaccinated.’ 

‘And if that’s you sweet reader, my request is this: don’t take medical advice from me.’ 

‘I didn’t go to medical school, I’m not a doctor. But you know who is a doctor? Your doctor.’

Respect: He continued, ‘To be honest, I feel immensely grateful to live in an age where super smart people are able to do incredible things like make a vaccine for something that has ground the world to a halt’

‘Talk to them. And only them. Have a discussion with someone who has studied medical science for years and years and years about this, then see how you feel about participating in this effort. That’s all. Good on you.’

‘Gotta say hats off to the staff of NSW Health, watching the massive effort being run and thousands of people out at Homebush fills you with hope.’ 

‘Thanks to everyone who’s working so hard at the front line. Go Australia.’
