Being a tattoo artist comes with a pretty high amount of responsibility. After all, one can take down a painting, but once someone is inked, getting it removed or hidden is a lot more work. So it’s somewhat concerning that some folks don’t think too hard about what they want.
Someone asked “Tattoo artists, which tattoo made you the most uncomfortable to do?” and people shared their wildest stories.

Couple came in to get their names tattooed on each other, I hate doing those but I inform them about the risks etc. She was getting hers across the lower back, his on the stomach. I start with the guy, big dude too, large piece once I'm done she says something like: "now deal with this m**********r!" Slaps hims "This'll teach you to cheat on me with my best friend!" And hastily makes her way out of the shop.

My tattoo artist told me of a tattoo he did around the edges of a strippers b-hole saying”one ring to rule them all”. I remember him mentioning how bummed he was that she didn’t allow him to photograph it for his portfolio.

I worked in a tattoo shop that my friend owns after I graduated high school. One day a gay couple come in and one of them says he wants a dart board on his a*s. Ok, I thought. A little odd, but ok. I don't really care because I'm not the one doing the tattoo, my friend is. Anyways, after he says he wants a dart board, he clarifies and says he wants it regulation sized. The initial confusion took me for a moment and I thought, "No." This mother f****r wanted a regulation sized dart board on his a*s with the bullseye as his a*****e. He f*****g got it too.

I was being tattooed once and this guy walked in, super strange and we could tell something was off about him. He was wanting some kind of Japanese symbol on his forehead and my artist(shop owner) asked him if had any other tattoos. The guy says no and the owner tells him he won't do face tattoos without having any other tattoos. This guy proceeds to just stare at us all for a solid two minutes without saying a word. Wide eyed, like we were from outer space and told him the Earth was flat. Then the artist says "Sorry man. I can tattoo the symbol on you anywhere else but I won't tattoo it on your face without any other ink." The guy continues to stare at us, says okay, slowly turns around and walks out the door. We thought he was going to come back and k**l us.
