Gallows singer Frank Carter tattooed onstage at Reading Festival

Gallows frontman Frank Carter had a tattoo done mid-set at Reading Festival, with New Found Glory's Chad Gilbert performing the tattoo on stage.

Following in a line of infamous acts of rock stupidity (see Ozzy's bat biting and the Chili Peppers' genital socks for reference), up-and-coming UK punk band Gallows have made their addition to the list with frontman Frank Carter getting tattooed mid-set at last weekend's Reading Festival. Before launching into their song 'Sick Of Being Sick', Carter exclaimed: "This has been the best gig of my life - I don't want to forget it. But in half an hour I won't be able to remember a fucking thing, so I'm going to get a tattoo". Chad Gilbert of pop-punkers New Found Glory then entered the stage with an electric tattoo gun and performed the deed, before Gallows finished off their set. After the gig, it was reported that Carter claimed, "That tattoo hurt like fucking hell".
