What is your favorite tattoo related story?

Answer 1

when my friend went to get his first one, but when he saw the guy doing them, he left......

Answer 2

I worked as a nurse for several years at an "inner city" hospital and actually was trading tattoo stories with some co-workers today. The craziest/funniest/grossest was one guy who not only was covered with prison tattoos, he also had Yosemity Sam (with guns blazing) on his organ and "Got P***Y" on the tip of his tongue! Other personal favorites were people covered in prison and gang tattoos on the front, then they have stuff like the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus on their back and flaming hearts and stuff. Crazy.

Answer 3

I once had a patient that had 67 tattoos. Most were of the home made variety. He had a bulldog on his organ.
Overall, the picture was not pretty.
One must remember that the skin changes with age and what looks great at 20 may not look so good at 60.

Answer 4

That would be the time that I was getting my anklet done. A huge gangbanger came in with his girlfriend. He had tattoos everywhere - big, 2-3 in. high script lettering across his stomach, all over his arms, etc, and an especially big one right across the back of his neck.

When he saw me, and saw what I was having done, he nearly shreaked like a girl, and said, "Ow! Doesn't that hurt? I would never get a tattoo there, that has got to hurt so much". Heh. I've always loved that story, cuz I'm tougher than a big ol' gangbanger, yeah! Hahahahahaha. Yeah, right.

Answer 5

This is a second hand story so the validity cannot be confirmed.

One guy wanted to get some Japanese writing. He didn't care what it was, he just wanted some Japanese (or maybe it was Chinese, either way it was some sort of chicken scratch) symbol on the back of his neck. But, he was a real jack *** to the tattoo artist. So the symbol he ended up with loosely meant, "I'm gay".

Answer 6

Women who get tattooed on the small of their backs will never be able to have an epidural for pain when they are delivering babies. Something about the needle pushing ink into the spinal cord, very bad. I wonder if they will regret getting that tattoo when they have to go through labour without the epidural.

Answer 7

The three old prostitutes were talking about their past when the French one said ‘If I had my life to live over again, I would marry a Frenchman, with a Dragon tattooed on his chest’. The English one said ‘That’s a coincidence, I would marry an Englishman, but he would have a Dragon on his arm’. Old Mary, the Irish one, said ‘Ah Jazus, I’d always marry an Irishman, with his dragon on the ground’.

Answer 8

Answer 9

dated

Answer 10

I had a friend once, who decided he wanted to get a home made tattoo on his leg. After about a week you could see that some of the ink stuck and some of it did not. It looked like he had a bunch of dashes going in circles around his leg.

Answer 11

That time on the island when Tattoo was all like "The plane Boss the plane." And Mr Rourke was all "Yes Tattoo." I love that story.
