So you've ummed and ahhed about whether to get a tattoo. Some of your friends have them and they look good. Hell, Becks is covered in them and he looks pretty cool. Maybe you'll go for some kind of Celtic cross on your less than bulging bicep or perhaps a couple of stars scattered across your shoulder. Safe to say, having a 40cm penis inked indelibly onto your back is probably not high on the request list.
However, this was to be the fate of a 25 year old Australian man who strode into an Queensland tattoo parlour last week, according to the Ipswich Queensland Times. He had decided to take the plunge with a nice, peaceful yin and yang symbol across his back. And some dragons thrown in just to mix things up a bit. As the tattoo was being inked on a friendly bystander made reasuring "Mate, it looks really good" comments. So when our hero emerged blinking in the light, with the instructions not to expose the bandaged tatt to light for a few days, he had no reason to suspect anything was up.
However, as he was to discover, his freshly inked tattoo did not look "really good" - unless you consider a 15 inch phallus stretching across your back to be the very definition of cool. And it gets worse. The roguish tattoo artist had also scrawled an erudite - and apparently misspelt - slogan next to the phallic masterpiece, implying that the victim was gay.
Beverley had only gone into the tattoo parlour for a small butterfly on her right shoulder
When the victim returned home and proudly showed the tattoo to the person he lives with, her beautifully understated response was "I don't think it's the tattoo you were after".
The tattoo artist, and former friend of the victim, may not be laughing so hard now, however. The victim promptly contacted the police who arrested the prankster and charged him with two counts of assault as well as public safety charges for not having a tattoo licence. And as for the victim? Humiliation, an over-dressed summer and a hefty tattoo removal bill awaits him.
