As Coronation Street fans prepare to bid farewell to cobbles favourite Peter Barlow, we take a closer look at actor Chris Gascoyne's impressive tattoo collection
For over 20 years, Chris Gascoyne has been delighting soap fans as Peter Barlow in Coronation Street, with the character at the heart of several hard hitting storylines ranging from battling alcohol addiction through to a gritty prison stint.
Initially many viewers had presumed they were simply added for the character, but this theory was later debunked by the star when he admitted that all of the tattoos we see on Peter Barlow are actually his own - however they did mostly date back to his youth. In addition, Chris also has another woman tattooed on his chest, over his heart , while a black panther can also be seen on his left arm.
