A couple have paid more than £1,100 to get portraits of cult leader Charles Manson tattooed on their legs using some of the cult leader’s ashes mixed with ink. Patrick Boos told TMZ that his wife, Deanne, initially wanted to be the first woman with a tattoo that had the notorious Manson’s ashes in, and he didn't want her to be alone so he got one himself. Boos admitted he was “sad” for the victims killed by Manson’s cult.
