BRITAIN's most tattooed man has revealed a former manager hid him from company bosses due to his dramatic appearance.<\/p>\n

King Of Inkland King Body Art The Extreme Ink-ite, who changed his name from Matthew Whelan in 2008, has various tattoos covering 90 per cent of his body. <\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The 42-year-old was working at a call centre when he claims he was hidden away from management in an apparent 'office reshuffle'.<\/p>\n

He told The Daily Star: \u201cI got shuffled around from one office to another when I was working in a call centre."<\/p>\n

The tattoo addict, who goes by Body Art for short, said he was sure the "ultimate restrictions" were placed on him due to his heavily-inked appearance. <\/p>\n

"The managers were coming up so they decided to have a move around in the office. The person they got to move was me," he said.<\/p>\n

"I got shifted from one end of the office down to the bottom when the managers came up." <\/p>\n

However, workplace woes aren't the only time Body Art said he has faced discrimination due to his alternative choices. <\/p>\n

He previously said HSBC\u00a0would not let him open a bank account because of his new name.<\/p>\n

Body Art claims the bank would not allow him to switch providers totheirs because the name on his bills does not match his passport.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had a\u00a0few issues along the way\u00a0because it's quite unique, quite whacky but it\u2019s my legal name," he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cI am trying to switch to HSBC from\u00a0TSB\u00a0and they\u2019ve rejected me. They are discriminating against me because of my identity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI've got a bank – I am just unsatisfied with them. Anyone else if they are unsatisfied with their bank's service they can easily switch."<\/p>\n

In 2013, he was also refused a passport after officials claiming his unusual name doesn't fit their policies.<\/p>\n

However, he successfully challenged the Government and got a passport in 2014 with his full name in the identity page – and BART TEI-I, an abbreviated name, on the photo page.<\/p>\n

Body Art said he became fascinated by body art when he was nine years old and had his first inking aged 16.<\/p>\n
