On a sunny Thursday, April 16, 2026, the ordinary Codona’s car park on the Aberdeen coast transformed into a pilgrimage site for thousands. The reason for this frenzy was the visit of Ben Newman, better known as Spudman — the legendary baked potato seller from Tamworth, whose pink mohawk and sincere smile have captivated over four million followers on TikTok. However, for some residents of Scotland, this visit was not just an opportunity to try the famous “baked potato,” but also a reason to leave a permanent mark on their bodies in the literal sense of the word.
