We’re tattoo artists and yes there are places we will never ink – we’ll talk you out of it if you try to insist as well

THINKING about committing to a new tattoo, or even your first ever design?

It’s not just the inking itself you need to consider but exactly where it’s going to go, since these artists have revealed the places they’d refuse.

According to the pros from Markd Tattoo in Australia, people make some strange requests when it comes to the locations of their tattoos.

“I had to talk an old guy out of getting a butt tattoo,” one of the artists joked.

The client requested a design on his backside, which isn’t unusual in itself, but the artist had a pretty good reason for not wanting to go through with it.

“This guy was a bit smelly,” he contined.

Another artist revealed he’d never tattoo anyone’s eyes, which is another strange but not unheard of request.

The location of your new inking also matters more if you don’t already have a lot of tattoos, the pros explained.

Face and hand tattoos are hard to hide so the artists don’t always recommend going through with certain designs.

“Hand tattoos are ok, I think they’re becoming more acceptable, face tattoos I wouldn’t recommend.

“It’s probably the first thing people will see and could easily ruin your job opportunities, especailly if you’re young,” one artist explained

After sharing their advice on YouTube viewers flocked to the comment sections to share their own experiences.

Some were shocked people got tattoos on their eyes in the first place, one wrote: “How can you even tattoo an eye?!”

A second quipped: “I can think of other places I’d refuse to do personally.”
