This is one of those “never get a tattoo when you’re drunk” stories: Holly Aston from Birmingham, England, awoke after a drunken party to find she had a very naughty image tattooed on her back.
Holly was just seventeen when she allowed a friend to tattoo her back with a DIY tattoo gun. What had been a laugh the night before wasn’t so funny the next morning when Holly discovered the graphic image was permanently tattooed on her skin. Indeed, she was so horrified that she covered-up the tattoo for two years, even forgoing a holiday to Lanzarote in case the rude design would be seen by her family and friends.
Describing herself as a bit of a “wild child,” Holly told the Birmingham Mail how she had drunken tattoo parties where people drew tattoos on each other.
“It was so easy to buy a tattoo gun off the internet for about £50. You get the full kit of needles and ink and it’s easy to operate, though they give you no instructions about keeping it sterile. We were very lucky not to get an infection or blood poisoning.
“I had tattoo parties with my mates. We’d have some drinks and tattoo each other – it was stupid.
“I let my mates draw whatever they wanted,” sighs Holly. “I have the word ‘Dyke’ on my ankle, and then one drew the penis on my shoulder.
“I knew what they were doing and didn’t mind at the time. It was just a joke and I thought it was funny.
“But then I woke up the next day, looked at it and thought ‘Oh God, what have I done?’.
“The joke was over and it really wasn’t funny anymore.”
Fortunately Holly’s special tattoo has brought her to the attention of a TV show which will now laser the offending image out.
