“My dad is a tattoo artist, and Ive heard his stories.
And, according to thisReddit threadfromu/SledDog888, tattoo requests can be really, REALLY unique.
They asked, “Tattoo artists, which tattoo made you they most uncomfortable to do?”
And some of the responses truly have my jaw on the floor.
Read on and see for yourself:
1.
“It wasnt so much the tattoo, but rather the customer.
He came in one time for a semi-truck with kicking ass and eating pussy written on the back window.

“My wife’s friend is a tattoo artist.
A couple of months later, the girl came back in with a different dude for another tattoo.
She said to the artist, ‘this is my boyfriend, Johnny!'”

He brought in a drawing of a tribal dragon that he did himself.
After a really awkward few moments, he left.
I didnt end up covering it and havent seen him since.”

“My friend is a tattoo artist and a guy came in wanting a KKK tattoo.
The guy shuffled out of the shop very awkwardly.”

The artist doing it was soooo uncomfortable, but the rest of us were dying of laughter.
I miss working there sometimes.”

“Not me, but my tattoo artist.

“I worked in a tattoo shop that my friend owned after graduating high school.
OK, I thought.
A little odd, but OK.
I don’t really care because I’m not the one doing the tattoo.
Anyway, after he says he wants a dart board, he clarifies and says he wants it regulation-sized.
The initial confusion took me a moment, and I thought, ‘No.’
This man wanted a regulation-sized dart board on his ass with the bullseye as his asshole.
He got it, too.”

“I’m not a tattoo artist, but I briefly dated a guy who was.
She wanted it huge, and she wanted it on her back.
And he was trying very hard to be like, ‘THAT’S NICE.
I WORK BETTER WHEN YOU’RE NOT TALKING, THOUGH.'”

“My girlfriend’s mom comes in.
She wants a giraffe…OK, that’s cool.
She wants it on her bikini line.
Ehh, OK…I’m a professional.
Because giraffes have 10-inch tounges…Oh, WTF?!
I get the stencil ready and start prepping for the tattoo.
She sees the razor and says, ‘You won’t need that, I shaved for you.'”

“My dad is a tattoo artist, and Ive heard his stories.
When he asked why, she said she wanted to tell people that ‘her pussy ate it.'”

“He wanted ‘HATE LOVE’ on his knuckles.
I said no, said he would regret it, and so on.
He got mad at me and started calling me names.
Instead of screaming back, my ‘f you’ was agreeing to do the tattoo.”
“A couple came in to get their names tattooed on each other.
I hate doing those, but I informed them about the risks, etc.
She was getting hers across the lower back, his on the stomach.
I started with the guy, big dude too, large piece.
Once I was done, she said something like, “Now deal with this motherfer!’
And hastily made her way out of the shop.”

She was politely sent away.”

Shortly after he was done, he told me it was actually ‘do not resuscitate.’
I felt horrible about it.
Still, felt fairly horrid about it.
I never knew at the time.”

I was an apprentice, so I had to say yes.
He made an appointment and came in drunk as a skunk.
I did the tattoo, and he paid and left.
It was hairy for a moment but all-in-all, it worked out.”
