STARDOM beckons for a Derby tattooist to the stars.
A documentary about his career is about to be aired on ITV2.
And Kevin Paul has also been cast to play himself in a gritty British drama film, The Middle Man, which will be released next year.
Kevin, who has a studio in Great Northern Road, Derby, will appear alongside former X-Factor singer Ray Quinn in the programme talking about his job as a celebrity tattooist which will be released in the next few months.
The film is based on the life story of Mr H, a well-known fixer who is the go-between in the world of crime, according to the Internet Movie Database, which provides information related to films and television.
Former EastEnders actress Danniella Westbrook is also rumoured to be involved in the project.
But the role for the Derby tattooist came about because of his friendship with director Philip Howard.
Mr Paul said: "It seems to be quite a popular film and has got a lot of attention from people I know.
"I think it's an interest subject. I'm being written into the script at the moment to play myself.
"I've mixed with a lot of celebrities through my work but I have never been in a film before, it's very exciting.
"The first time I was on television was Channel 5 and I was talking about tattoos. After that I did a few other bits and it has grown from there.
"I'm told it will be quite a good part but I'm intrigued because I do not know what the part is yet."
He has also agreed terms to write a column about celebrities and their tattoos with a major magazine, but details cannot be announced yet.
And singer Ed Sheeran has also tweeted his support for the 35-year-old to appear on Channel 5 show Big Brother.
He said: "I really wanted to freshen up my career with TV work and I do mix with a lot of people in the industry.
"Because I have those connections, people are interested in me doing more reality TV and it's something I'm keen on."
Kevin said the ITV2 documentary is currently being filmed.
He said: "It's good to have Ray involved talking about his tattoos because it will show a different side to him and other celebrities."
Kevin, who counts rapper Dappy and former X-Factor star James Arthur as his friends, appeared on Made in Chelsea in April.
