DAVID DIMBLEBY LOOKS like a sharp-suited 75-year-old, but on his right shoulder the journalist has something a little different to his BBC peers.
The septuagenarian was so taken by the idea of tattoos while doing some recent filming that he went and got a scorpion permanently inked on his shoulder.

The BBC reports that Dimbleby told the Radio Times that while making the maritime series Britain and the Sea, he had a black pencil mark drawn on him.
He decided that it was ‘wimpish’ to just have it drawn on, and that he “needed to man up” – so went under the tattooist’s needle.
However, he drew the line at doing a Cheryl Cole and getting his bum tattooed.
Britain and the Sea will be shown on BBC One on Sunday.
