Former Prime Minister Dom Mintoff has become the subject of an eye-catching tattoo, with a Maltese artist depicting the Labour Party icon wearing a pair of bright red boxing gloves.Tattoo artist Jake Falzon, who works with Familie Tattoo Malta, shared the finished piece on Instagram, showcasing a colourful portrait of Mintoff on a client’s thigh.The design features Mintoff smiling behind his trademark glasses, dressed in a suit and tie, with two oversized boxing gloves positioned in front of him.Beneath the portrait sits a red Maltese cross, surrounded by traditional tattoo-style leaves.Mintoff served as Prime Minister between 1955 and 1958 and again from 1971 until 1984, playing a major role in shaping modern Malta.Known to supporters as Il-Perit, he is remembered for expanding social welfare, introducing significant social reforms and overseeing Malta’s transition into a republic in 1974.His political career also remains a subject of debate, with supporters celebrating his contributions to social progress and critics recalling the deep political divisions associated with his years in power.More than a decade after his death in 2012, Mintoff remains a recognisable figure in Maltese political history, with his image continuing to appear in tributes and artwork.Falzon’s latest creation brings that legacy into the world of traditional tattooing.What do you think of this Dom Mintoff tattoo?•
