Tattoo Artists Share the Most Messed Up Pieces They've Done For Clients

Tattoo artists have seen things. We're not just talking butts, boobs, or other oft-covered body parts. They've seen bad, bad decisions immortalized on humans who just want to watch the world burn. And while there are plenty of sites that feature bad tattoos, sometimes we like to hear the story behind them from the person who had to do the damn thing. Yesterday, redditor u/carlden3 asked the tattoo artists of the site to share the most f****ed up pieces they've ever done for customers. Some of the tattoos are incredibly stupid. Some of them are quite gross. But they're all…unique…in their own special ways.

    Font - willieyobslayer · 11h 29 Awards Had a woman come into the shop one time way back who looked like she'd been in a tanning booth 8 days a week for the last 40+ years. She wanted to get her locked-up man's name tattooed on her, but she wanted it "down there". She convinced me to get waaaay closer to her jukebox than I was comfortable with, and had me tattoo "Billy Jack's Pussy" so far up in there that I think we're common law related now. (name slightly changed for anonymity). Best part is t

The only explanation I could come up with was he was tattooing himself in the mirror and half way through realized it was coming out backwards to everyone so called it quits. Reply 4 27.5k 3 ...

Halfway through, after hitting on me the whole time and telling me stories about an abusive ex, she started arguing about the colour scheme and left with only the outline and some shading.

    Font - tjohnboy · 14h I was a piercer for a few years at a local shop. During my first year of my apprenticeship we had a younger, 20 something male who had come in to get his forehead tattooed. I handled majority of the paperwork for the tattoo artists at the time as well and he had requested the word FUBAR to be done. He went back into the booth with the artist at the time and was told to come back the next day after he slept on it because you know, it's permanent and we wanted to make sure he

    This dude really sacrificed having a career to piss of his mom. That's some serious dedication.

    Rectangle - FuckYeahPhotography · 13h 70 Awards I knew a guy that got a tattoo of a dick on his dick so he could ask people "wanna see my dick?" and they would usually protest "no!" He would follow up with "it's a tattoo" laughing, so they would be like "oh ok." Awaiting a humorous tattoo of a dong to be displayed to them. This was as you know a false sense of security. A lie. A crime. A bamboozle if you will. He would pull down his pants, and whip out his dick on a dick. Much to the dismay of a

    This is kind of messed up.,
