According to the Daily Star, Keith Gordon, a British man who recently became known as the “most tattooed dad in Britain” has been kicked out of the shop because of his looks.
Specifically, the 66-year-old resident of Essex said that on a recent trip to another city, an employee at one of the stores yelled at him in front of his family.
“I couldn’t believe he had the guts to come and talk in front of my kids about how I look. This is my body, my choices and his behavior is discriminatory,” Gordon said.
The man said he later wrote a complaint and received £20 compensation from the supermarket’s representative as an apology.

The father-of-three explains that he got his first tattoo when he was 17 and has since spent tens of thousands of pounds on tattoos. So now, his body is almost covered with figures, including his face, ears and scalp.
According to Gordon, he had previously faced disapproving reactions from others.
“Many people look at me in an unusual or aggressive way, but I don’t understand why, because it’s me who perceives the tattoo, not them. The difference is dealing with negative comments and ignorant people, but in general I like the attention,” Gordon shared.
Before that, this man had an obsessive-compulsive disorder that caused him to get a tattoo every few years. Even at 17 years old after having sassy tattoos on his arms and shoulders. After that, he removed it all with skin graft surgery to start working in an office.
However, after nearly 10 years of marriage, Gordon felt something compelling him to return to his first love, which was tattoos. He is also addicted to tattoos to the point that he can’t control it.
“A lot of people look at me with displeasure, but I like that kind of attention,” Gordon said. I love being different and want to show people that being different isn’t a big deal.”
