Tattoo artists reveal weirdest requests - and what they've said no to

Tattoo artists have reveled their qeirdest requests, the most graphic commissions and the 'art' they've just had to 'no' to. A survey of 500 tattoo artists by Barber DTS, supplier of tattoo equipment and ink supplies, also asked about the most common requests artists have seen in the last 12 months - with lion sketches currently the number one choice from customers, making up a quarter of requests.

This was followed by roses (15 percent) with mandalas (7 percent) and pocket watches (5 percent) also in the top five most popular designs.

Unfprtunately, big cats made the top three designs least favoured by artists, behind tribal sketches and pocket watches. Roses are the most favoured design, followed closely by skulls, and black and grey designs.
