MONTPELIER, Vt. — Fans of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders are wearing their support for him on their sleeves — and on their rib cages, calves, necks and backs.

Several dozen people have flocked to Aartistic Tattoo in Montpelier, Vermont, to get a free tattoo of the senator, complete with his unkempt hair and thick-rimmed glasses.

The promotion began a week ago, and tattoo artist Chad Fay said it will run as long as Sanders does.

Tattoo artist Jessica Andrew said she inked Sanders' image on eight people in two days, and Fay said he's done at least 15 tattoos of Sanders in the past week.
