Some people are never satisfied, you might say. However, it’s not what it seems.
A 21-YEAR-OLD Bundamba man faces court after he allegedly tattooed an unwanted lewd image and slogan on his mate’s back – that image being a 40 cm (16”) penis along with a slogan suggesting the man was gay. With mates like that, who needs enemies?
Police allege the man, who was not a professional tattooist, talked his friend into having the tattoo while the friend was visiting him at home. They allege the tattooing followed a disagreement between the pair that culminated with the Bundamba man taking offence at something the victim said.
According to the detective handling the matter:
“Apparently he went round to the other bloke’s house and somehow in the course of the conversation the subject of tattoos came up,”
“The victim wasn’t interested at first but he was talked into it and he said he wanted a Yin and Yang symbol with some dragons.
“He rolled him on to his stomach and the bloke started doing the tattoo and there was another bloke standing there watching saying, ‘Mate, it’s looking really good’.
“He was told not to go out into the sun and not to show anyone for a few weeks.
“When he got home he showed it to the person he lives with and she said: ‘I don’t think it’s the tattoo you were after’.”
Now I’d question the wisdom of allowing anyone, let alone a friend with who you’d had an argument to let them tattoo you – mind you, I think 99% of tattoos are shit, and that all those people who deface their bodies are going to grow up some day and regret it. Anyway, I’m guessing the friendship between these guys involved a fair amount of substance abuse.
To add insult to injury, he was allegedly punched and thrown out of the Bundamba man’s house after he was tattooed.
The tattooist is scheduled to appear in Ipswich Magistrates Court on November 15. He was charged with two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm and one charge relating to the Public Safety Act. (You just knew this had to have happened in some super boganistic place like Ipswich).
The subject of his art faces an expensive and painful removal of the tattoo – estimated to cost up to $2,000.
Ouch!
That is a sorry story of bogan stupidity.
It’s quite ridiculous that someone would go to that length just because of a disagreement, the person seems disturbed, as they say with friends like that who needs enemies, i hope the nasty piece of work gets whats he deserves .
