Im so obsessed with buses I had to get tattoo of my favourite service

A bus lover revealed their love for the vehicle in the most special way.

Elliott Colvin, who uses they/them pronouns, spent most of their life travelling on the 192 service in Manchester.

The 25-year-old went between Manchester and Stockport daily for work and social activities.

Since the commute was a regular occurrence for Elliott, they wanted to mark the special occasion with a tattoo.

There is an adorable sentimental attachment to this particular bus service as it's where Elliott met partner Wil Sanders.

Now to mark their first encounter, the bus lover decided to ink the vehicle onto their body.

Speaking about the ink, they said: "It's a big nerdy, to be fair. My partner is a bit of a trainspotter.

"We've been together about five years and I've always been into transport and travel."

And the 192 bus service is deemed the most reliable in the Stockport area.

"People make jokes about it but it's the most reliable bus. It's such an icon. It's an iconic thing," Elliott added.

For Elliott, the affection soon turned into an obsession as Will encouraged them to be more enthusiastic about buses.

They said: "When I moved to my first flat in Manchester with Wil, I was obsessed the bus came every two minutes.

"I thought it was really cool."

Tattoo artist Maisie was the mastermind behind Elliott's request which she was "straight on board with".

Maisie, who works for Heatons Tattoo Club in Stockport, loved the opportunity to do something a little bit different.

She said: "I have tattooed Elliott multiple times. A lot of Elliott's tattoos tend to be sentimental.

"They approached me about the 192 one. They had to travel on that bus to see their partner.

"Being a tattooist you get wild and wonderful requests anyway but to get something mundane like a bus is kind of comical."
