HE’S NEARLY AS famous as the actual crisps themselves.

The man, the icon, the giant potato.

Look at him there – delighted with himself.

Mr Tayto himself wasn’t convinced of its legitimacy:

I have just been sent this!!! I need to know… IS THIS REAL?? A Tayto Tattoo

The tattoo quickly gained popularity, with one commenter dreaming up the ultimate reward:

If it is, they need free entry to tayto park for life, just show the tattoo for entry
