I bet he feels a prick...

A 21-YEAR-OLD man has been charged by police in Ipswich for allegedly tattooing a penis on a man's back - instead of the image he had requested.

The 25-year-old victim had been visiting the man, a professional tattooist, at his home in Bundamba last Wednesday when he was talked into getting a tattoo.

He wanted a yin and yang symbol with some dragons, but was instead shocked to discover the 40cm tattoo was of a penis with an obscene slogan.

He now faces considerable cost to have the image removed.

Police said the tattooing followed an argument between the men, during which the professional tattooist allegedly took offence at something the other man said.

The victim has also alleged he was punched and thrown out of the house following the tattooing.

The 21-year-old is due to appear in Ipswich Magistrates Court on November 15 charged with two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm and one charge relating to the Public Safety Act.

~Heh, in the old West it was said, "Don't piss off your barber." Not because he might give you a bad hair cut, but because he was the one you went to for a shave. In those days the straight razor was six inches long, and also known as 'The Cut-Throat' razor.

"Don't piss off your Tattoo artist" may join that.

You know I have to admit that I watched first Miami Ink and now LA ink and I really have to say, some those tattooist are really great artists. How they take someones picture and basically reproduce on someones skin or freehand a drawing and turn it into a work of art is really great. While I don't have any tattoos, I do and can appreciate their artistry.

that's what confusdes me about this story. Why would one put so much time and effort in such a act? You would think by the time he was halfway through he'd think twice about his actions.

I thought that too, when I first read 'Back Tatt' but the OP says it was only 40cm.


Now here's some tattoos that never should have happened;


Ink that stinks

[dales]

40 cm?

Soounds small.

That's what in inches?

[Crackpot]

almost 16 inches

[Sean]

40 cm?

Soounds small.

That's what in inches?

About 13" Dales...

According to local news this guy was not a professional tattoo artist and they were both a tad on the inebriated side...

[Crackpot]

you're off sean

[Sean]

You're right of course CP. I had a mental brainfart after thinking a foot was 30cm...

[SisterMaryFellatio]

Penis tattoo charge upgraded to grievous bodily harm


November 15, 2010 - 2:38PM

Charges against a man accused of tattooing a lewd image on an Ipswich man's back have been upgraded.

Matthew Francis Brady, 21, appeared in Ipswich Magistrates Court today accused of tattooing a 40cm-long image of a penis and a crude slogan on a mate's back.

Brady had allegedly talked the 25-year-old man into getting a Yin and Yang symbol with some dragons but the end result was far from what the man wanted.

Police dropped a charge of assault occasioning bodily harm yesterday and replaced it with a charge of grievous bodily harm
