Former amateur mixed martial arts fighter, tattoo artist, and now comedian David McKinlay really has done it all. The Glasgow comic, 45, is a member of Wholesome Prison Blues - a team of six who take their gigs to prisons around the country. McKinlay, known as Tattoo Dave, is currently looking forward to his appearance at this year's Glasgow Comedy Festival.
