Where's Waldo Tattoo: Rytch Soddy Creates 'Where's Waldo' Scene On John Mosley's Back (PHOTOS)

So, where is Waldo? On music producer John Mosley's back, apparently.

The tall, lanky children's book character (and 150 of his closest friends) was tattooed on the back of the 22-year-old as part of a 24-hour tattoo challenge to raise money for London's Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital this weekend.

Tattoo artist Rytch Soddy decided to create the intricate scene free of charge if he could raise a minimum of about $820 for the charity, according to Norwich Evening News 24.

CAN YOU FIND WALDO?

Well, the effort paid off. The pair reportedly raised about about $3,280 to donate to the hospital.

Soddy worked on the tattoo for a full day with a two-minute break every hour, The Daily Mail reports. Soddy said it was the longest he's ever worked on a piece.

The finished result features inch-and-a-half high people in normal dress and historic and fantasy figures like Vikings, pirates, a caveman, cowboys and Star Wars character.

As well as the distinctive Norwich skyline, it also includes a pair of UFO flying saucers and a rocket blasting into the sky besides a smiling moon wearing a red and white hat.

Mosley urged people to donate to the cause and kept fans of the challenge updated on his progress through an event page on Facebook. Nearing the tattoo's completion, Mosley posted "Nearly done! We made it! We are built of awesome!"

The Norwich pair certainly are not the first to ink a portrait of Waldo. Comedy website College Humor featured a photo of what appears to be a woman's Waldo tattoo behind her ear.

It's always thoughtful to give your partner something to do while they're doing you...

Wow! There are a lot of bitter Nazis on this site. A couple of guys step up and find a unique way to raise some money for a children's hospital and almost two thirds of the comments are people bitching, poking fun and generally implying that since they wouldn't do it anyone who would do it is wrong. In a FREE country people can do any legal thing they choose to. When they choose to do something that that also helps out they deserve some props not a bunch of BS from people who did nothing to help and who have suffered nothing from someone else getting a tattoo. For crying out loud.

I'm sorry, but the dude could have raised $3,280.00 by NOT getting the tats. His mum alone would have kicked in a couple of hundred. Going door to door, standing on the corner with a cup...he did it for publicity.

It's wonderful to donate money to causes and hospitals. There is something wrong in our society when people have to do outrageous things to raise money. It's a shame that there has to be a gimmick everywhere one turns. Lets hope the next time that any hospital, charity or cause needs money, people just give it out of pure kindness rather than expecting something out of it in return.

Yeah but once you've found him you'll always know where he is. Not to mention that's going to be one ugly looking tatoo in 30 years time.

Wish they used a higher res image -- hard to make out the details. What's with the washing machine or the vacuum display? Found an Ewok, R2, and Darth Vader who looks like he cut off an appendage of someone. He'll be a hit with the kids. Waldo's hanging with the 3 girls in bathing suits. Go Waldo!

I think that tattoos are pointless. Sure they look nice a few years, but then they fade and become blurry. Imagine all the elderly people in the next 40 years with sleeves, facial tattoos, and those huge holes in their earlobes.

Observe the earring that is the mark of a slave who did not want to leave his master. Check your bibles everyone. Again there is nothing new under the son. What a joke, people strive to be different but in this case as in alot of other cases he is just going with the flow and is just like everyone else trying to be different.

If it wasn't so sad it would be funny.
