<p>Colin Farrell has revealed he specially designed his own communist tattoos for his character in new film The Way Back.</p>
<p>The Irish actor, has some real tattoos of his own, but said he felt the tattoos his character Valka had in Peter Weir&#8217;s new film about soldiers who escaped from a Siberian gulag in 1940 were much more meaningful.</p>
<p>Colin said: &#8220;There&#8217;s an incredible significance to every single drop of ink that appears on these men&#8217;s bodies, much more so than the couple of drunk markings that I have of various nights in the last 15 years on my body.</p>
<p>&#8220;But each single tattoo referenced either a crime committed, an amount of time done, a particular status one held within the criminal infrastructure so it was fun.</p>
<p>&#8220;Again it was something that was very foreign to me, it was very exotic, as was the accent and language so it was just another conduit into Valka.</p>
<p>&#8220;Peter gave me a couple of books that had a lot of the tattoos that were used, some photographs, some drawings, reams, hundreds, 800 tattoos, 1,000 tattoos and I went through them and kind of just designed Valka&#8217;s torso.&#8221;</p>
<p>Colin stars alongside Jim Sturgess, Ed Harris and Saoirse Ronan in The Way Back, in cinemas now.</p>
