In my late teens, maybe 20 I worked in a restaurant and got invited to a party after work in a very rough part of town. So rough that the taxi driver wouldn’t let us get out until we found the exact address (this would have been mid nineties so well before GPS nav was popular).
Anyway we get there. Folks are nice. Maybe ten in total plus the 4 of us from work. They’re rough around the edges but generally salt of the earth characters which I love so it’s all going well. Get chatting to one lad and he shows me his new tattoo on his forearm that his friend had done for him.
It was a palm tree on a tiny desert island with a dude sitting against the tree smoking a massive joint.
Now this monstrosity was one colour, all outlines, looked like it was done with a compass from your school pencil case and my 11 year old would have done a better job. It’s very difficult to describe just how shite it was.
Felt really sorry for the lad. He was definitely going to regret it if he didn’t already. Never forgot that tattoo though.
Reminds me of a dude I met at college. Had the shittiest arm tattoos known to man. I’m talking 5th grade blurry doodles. His response was, “I was trying to get with a hot girl at a party giving out tattoos”.
Yeah I believe so. Not sure why you’re being downvoted because non-professional ones done by your mate like that are easier to remove. I can’t remember if laser removal was a thing back then.

Tbf tattoos from friends have much greater value than just direct art.
I have some poorly drawn tattoos from my friends and they’re still some of my favorites!
Yeah I can see that 100%. Makes total sense.
Sightly similar but obviously different we always do handmade birthday cards instead of store bought.

Ooooof.
Sounds like an easy removal at least.
