Here are the key details of the story:

The 56-year-old actor had the word “RIFF” inked across his upper back and shoulder blades, done in large block lettering. “The Riff” is a well-known slang nickname for Penrith, a suburb in Western Sydney, New South Wales, where Purcell grew up during the 1970s and 1980s. Sharing a photo of the finished piece on Instagram, Purcell captioned it: “Them that know . . . Penrith ‘the RIFF’, NSW AUSTRALIA 70s 80s. Always proud of what made me.”
