Tattoo artists have opened up on the most disturbing things customers have asked for and they did not disappoint.
These ink masters have probably done a thousand arrows or dreamcatchers in their time, so you can imagine their surprise when they get something a bit more rogue.
But nothing could prepare readers on a Reddit thread for just how sordid some people's imaginations are.

Someone asked artists around the world to list 'the most f**ked up thing' they had done or seen someone get and it was unbelievable.
Some of them were sexual or revolved around sexuality.
One person recalled an 18-year-old woman who came into their studio once, adding: "She wanted a chain around her waist with a lock hanging on it just above her vagina and the words 'Property of Dave' or whatever the f**k her boyfriends name was.

"First off, she was 18 so I figured the relationship probably wasn't going to last so I wouldn't do it for that reason. Then come to find out, her boyfriend had just been sentenced to life in prison for murder."
Another one boldly stated: "Had a guy get a tattoo of his wife fingering her own a**, while she sat and watched me tattoo it on him. Interesting experience trying to get the shading on her labia just right while she was peering over my shoulder."
Other worthwhile mentions were people trying to get sad or bad things inked on their bodies without thinking what the repercussions would be.
A tattoo artist said: "This young man wanted a tattoo on his back. It said something like, 'Lisa please forgive me'.

"I told asked him if this was some last ditch effort to get this girl back. He said yes, and I told him this is a really bad idea you shouldn't do this. He wanted the tattoo anyway, so he got it.
"If it worked out with him and the girl she will always remember this terrible thing he did that was so bad he had to go get a tattoo to try and prove how wrong he was.
"Or if it didn't work out with them, whoever he dated afterwards would ask him what terrible thing he did that was so bad he had to go get a tattoo to try fix things with his ex. It seemed like a no win scenario with that tattoo."
There was a guy that wanted to get a tattoo of his stillborn child, however he was shocked when it didn't turn out very well because he went with someone that was offering a good deal.

If you want something done well, expect to pay for it.
