Trotter spotters will love to feast their mince pies on this Only Fools and Horses ­superfan’s cushty back.

Dean Paine lived up to his name by enduring 48 hours of agony to have this incredible tattoo.

Chef Dean designed the brilliant body art tribute to the hugely popular, classic sitcom.

And the 31-year-old was not satisfied with just the lovely jubbly mugs of Del Boy, Rodney, Grandad, Uncle Albert, Boycie and Trigger.

He also found room for the show’s logo and Del’s iconic yellow three-wheeled Reliant Regal.

The first face completed was on Dean’s right shoulder and featured the lovable, cocky wheeler-dealer Del Boy, the man with more front than Brighton, played by David Jason.

Next up in the £3,000 labour of love, which took six eight-our sessions, was Del’s brother Rodney, played by Nicholas Lyndhurst, on the left, then Grandad, Lennard Pearce, in the middle.

White bearded Uncle Albert, Buster Merryfield, was inked under Rodders and next to the van is dodgy Boycie, John Challis, and gormless Trigger, Roger Lloyd Pack.

Thrilled Dean, of Wickford, Essex, said: “I have collected things like old props and scripts but wanted to have my own, personal tribute to the show.

“Uncle Albert took the longest time because of his big white beard but Grandad was the most painful as it is right on my spine.

“But it has all been worth it and I’m really pleased.”

Dean thinks he may have room to squeeze in a portrait of cafe owner Sid, played by Roy Heather.

Tattooist Sam Butler, of Vintage Inx in Basildon, Essex, said working from old photos had been challenging.

Now Dean dreams of meeting up with Lyndhurst after encounters with all the other living cast members.

He who dares, Dean, he who dares...
