Ringo the crane has become a tattoo star


With a reputation to rival Rod Hull's Emu, it's hard to imagine anyone wanting a tattoo of Ringo, the bad-tempered grey crowned crane, on their arm.

But Caisa Karlstrom, 23, from Sweden, has had the aggressive bird immortalised on her arm in a huge, colourful tattoo.

Ringo has been launching violent attacks on his keepers Jayne and Andrew Collier at Axe Valley Bird and Animal Sanctuary in Axminster.
