Tattoos are for life, and not just for Christmas a drunken night out, you know. And that’s a lesson one man has learnt the hard way.​

21-year-old Lewis Flint from Grimsby decided to show the highest level of dedication to Henry the Hoover one man’s ever managed, by getting a tattoo of the friendly vacuum onto his crotch. And you’ll laugh out loud when you see it.

But it gets better, because as well as the Henry on the front, Lewis went all out and got a black lead, plug and socket which goes into his arse. Absolutely incredible.

Weirdly, though, he says he’s regretting his decision. Lewis appeared on Channel 4’s ​Bodyshockers​, and described how it was seriously affecting his love life. It seems the ladies aren’t such a fan of getting it on with a chirpy-faced hoover, and we can’t think why.

​”When I first got it done aged 16 I couldn’t stop getting it out, I got loads of attention and I was a bit of a local hero, I loved it,” he told the documentary-makers. 

“But I was with a girl recently and I liked her, things were going well until we got naked. When she saw it she said ‘what’s that? I am off!’ I was gutted, I never thought I would regret my tattoo when I got it done.”

It was for that reason Lewis decided to take his horror story public, appearing on the show in the hopes of getting his tattoo removed with a laser.

“​When I think about that night the girl walked out it does haunt me and puts me off showing it to other women in the future. I know laser removal is painful but never getting laid again would be more painful.”

He’s not wrong.

But when Lewis actually got round to getting laser removal, the poor love couldn’t handle the pain. Due to the sensitivity of the area, he had to ask them to stop.

“​The thought of that going round near my balls is unbearable. I don’t know how people put up with 20 minutes of it. Laser is too painful for me to get rid of this tattoo, I am going to have to put up with it,” he resolved.

Well it’s a conversation starter, at least.

While the majority of fathers are happy to carry a picture of their child around in their wallet, one man from Derby decided to go one step further – with disastrous results.

Security guard Malcolm, 40, had hoped to have a perfect picture of his daughter Sophie tattooed onto his leg.

But the result was far from what he hoped for, with the tattooist leaving him with an image that looked ‘more like Queen Elizabeth than my baby girl’.

Unimpressed: Father-of-two Malcolm hates a tattoo he got on his leg of his daughter

‘I wanted something beautiful on me, a portrait of Sophie to remind me of her and what she looked like,’ explains the father-of-two.

‘I had been to the tattooist before so I was confident he would do a good job.’

But instead, the tattooist drew ‘freehand’ on his leg and the results bore little resemblance to the photo of Sophie he was shown.

Despite his reservations, Malcolm didn’t interrupt as he trusted the tattoo as an ‘artist’ and thought he would be happy with the end result.

‘The end tattoo looks nothing like Sophie,’ says Malcolm, who appears on tonight’s episode of Tattoo Disasters UK on Spike.

‘I don’t cherish the tattoo, I hate it. It’s more like a picture of Queen Elizabeth than my baby girl.’

Not right: Malcolm had hoped for something like the photo on the left but got this picture, right, instead

A decade on and Malcolm says he still regrets the tattoo – as does his daughter.

‘It looks nothing like me, it’s horrible. I’m ashamed to say that’s me on his leg,’ said Sophie, who is now a teenager. ‘It’s embarrassing when he puts shorts on.’

Her younger sister Madison adds: ‘It looks like an alien.’

Malcolm has now visited celebrity tattooist Kevin Paul – whose clients include Harry Styles and Ed Sheeran  – to have the offending inking covered up.

No regrets for finding courage to change

I stood in front of the mirror and struggled a little trying to fit the curve of a new earring in my earlobe. Then it slipped right in place. A friend made this lovely pair of earrings that perfectly match a necklace I have been wearing for several months. I had several pairs of earrings that “sort of” matched the necklace, but I never thought they looked just right. I am delighted with this gift and received a compliment on it the first time I wore them.

For years, I resisted having my ears pierced despite my daughter nagging me about it. Maybe I took too seriously something someone once said to me. The statement, “If God had intended for us to have holes punched in our earlobes, he would have put them there,” came accompanied by a snort and a twist of the head. Too, I knew I had thick earlobes, something I inherited from my daddy’s side of the family. I realized having my fat earlobes pierced would be painful.

My daughter’s insistence for piercing my ears started a long time ago when I could still comfortably wear screw earrings. Then over a short time, they just quit appearing on the market. My other alternative was clip earrings. They hurt me, even those with little pads on them. Even if I loosened them, they were still painful and in danger of slipping off.

One day I went shopping with my daughter and found myself being steered toward a shop advertising a special on ear piercing. “Aw, come on Mom, you will be glad you did,” my daughter urged as she motioned me toward the back of the store. “Well, why not?” I asked myself since I had recently lost two sets of pretty clip earrings. In a flash, I found myself seated on a stool. A young lady marked a point on each earlobe and got my approval as to the locations. The next minute pain seared through one ear and the “puncher” prepared her tool to work on the other. “What in the world am I doing?” I asked myself, knowing it was too late to turn back.

“If I had known I had to clean my ears three times a day for eight weeks and wait that long before I could wear other earrings, I would never have done this,” I growled to my daughter as we walked out of the store with a pair of posts in my ears. Secretly, I was glad I finally got up the nerve to do it.

During those eight weeks, I started searching for some pretty new earrings for my pierced ears. Funny thing was I noticed a lot of clips that appealed to me. That was long ago, though. Over the years, I have accumulated quite a collection of pierced earrings. I have long since pushed that strong statement aside that somebody made and have never regretted having my ears pierced.

No regrets for finding courage to change
