A BURLY Bolton bouncer has a permanent declaration of love – for none other than pop star Justin Bieber.

Jamie Young made the promise to get an 'I Love Justin Bieber' tattoo if Leigh music festival Sky Fest II, which he helped to organise, made more than £1,000 for charity.

In the end the one-day rock music event raised £1,200 for Make Some Noise – a charity that helps youngsters and their families.

Not one to Welch on his bets, Mr Young became a 'Belieber' – the name of the pop star's fans – after allowing tattoo artists Sam Janbi, Heidi Bye, Anthony Canning and Chloe Harris to take turns on administering the 'tramp stamp' design on the base of his spine.

Mr Young, who does security work in Kearsley and at the Bolton Food and Drink Festival, said: "I wasn't bothered about getting it done. I said I would, so I did. I sent the artists the design. The text is the same as the Willy Wonka font. I chose it because it was the funniest looking I could find on my computer.

"My partner Jessica said she isn't bothered either, but she's used to me getting silly tattoos. I have a lot of them so this one fits in quite nicely with my collection. I have a Playboy bunny logo, a Hello Kitty, Lego bricks and a Pokémon character on various parts of my body. As well as that I have sleeves down both arms and on my legs.

"I suppose it will be funny trying to explain it to my daughter Amelia when she grows up, especial if Justin Bieber isn't around then. I suppose it'd be like explaining to me who Showaddywaddy is."

The brave father-of-one is already thinking of ways to raise more money at at next year's Sky Fest III.

"I'm really pleased that we managed to raise so much. We probably would have raised more but there was a limit on how many people were allowed into the bar.

"The charity has been sent the money, and we're already thinking of another funny stunt to do for next year. The latest idea is for me to sit in a big bucket of ice for 24 hours — but I might have to check with the doctor beforehand in case I end up in Royal Bolton with hypothermia."
