Michael J Fox decided to get a tattoo today and couldn’t resist revealing the design on Instagram, alongside a video of the inking being done. The Back To The Future legend at first teased his 220,000 followers with a clip of the tattoo artist at work, telling everyone to “stay tuned”. The 57-year-old got an image of a turtle inked on his forearm, which saw it seemingly swimming through the water. “First tattoo, sea turtle, long story,” he cryptically captioned it, while tagging those responsible for the impressive, detailed design.
Michael was soon inundated with replies and thousands of likes in a matter of minutes, with many complimenting his new look.
Two users agreed: “Looks awesome man!” and: “What a wonderful turtle!”
“My daughter’s favourite animal! It’s beautiful!” a third stated, as someone else added: “Wow, well done.”
An earlier video had seen him sat in the chair as MR. K got to work, in which Michael stated: “Bang Bang… stay tuned!”

The film star’s wife of 30 years Tracy Pollan also showed off his tattoo in view of her own 19,000 fans.
“At long last, sea turtle,” she quipped.
“Guess what’s happening???” she had added earlier, as Michael laid down on the chair with a serious expression on his face.
The couple have shortly returned from a trip to Morocco and the Seychelles, where they kept people updated on their antics online.
Meanwhile, it comes just days after the Michael J Fox Foundation — which is dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson’s disease – formed a new one-year long partnership with IBM.
It is hoped they will develop technology aimed at detecting the onset of the condition as well as it’s progression.
Michael was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1991 at the age of 29, and disclosed it to the public seven years later.
Back in August, he spoke out on social media after he was the centre of a shock death hoax.
A fake website claiming to be Yahoo falsely announced that he had died from pneumonia.
They also wrongly stated he had checked into a hospital with Parkinson’s Disease-related complications days before.
The Designated Survivor star didn’t address the claims directly, but praised a CEO for her help within the Parkinson’s community.
“Thank you Sohini for all you do for the #Parkinsons community and @michaeljfoxorg. Keep up the amazing work,” he tweeted.
