I’m Leah, Chris’ wife, and I’m running this fundraiser because turning 40 deserves better than a last-minute panic buy.

Chris is hitting the big 4-0 and has decided to mark the occasion permanently… on his skin.

No novelty mugs. No smellies. Just a tattoo he’s been planning for a very long time.

The piece will be created by Burch, a tattoo artist known for bold, vivid colour realism. His work is rich, detailed, and unapologetically vibrant, spanning personal portraits, movie and video-game scenes, wildlife, and still life.

The tattoo will pull together moments, words, and imagery that have defined Chris — a visual story of the things that have shaped him over the years.

(Before anyone asks: no, I’m not included.)

So if you were thinking of a birthday gift, feel free to skip the awkward “what do I get him?” moment and contribute to this Tattoo Fund instead.

Big or small, every donation helps him celebrate turning 40 in the most permanent way possible.

Thank you for contributing to a very memorable birthday.

Leah
