A MAN has told how he is stuck with the tattoo from hell after his inking ended up looking like a SEX TOY.
The colourful sacred heart tatt appears to show quite the X-rated detail, despite the customer only requesting a “basic black” design.
But after the tattoo artist convinced him to add a few further details, he was left red-faced after realising it now resembled a butt plug sticking out of someone’s backside.
And to make it even more embarrassing, the inking is located on the man’s forearm – meaning it is even harder to conceal.
The garish tattoo, sporting red and yellow flames streaming out the top of a flower embossed black heart, has left Reddit users in stitches.
The man took to the site to warn other ink lovers from letting artists have free reign while asking for some good cover up ideas.
He wrote in a post: “Got this tattoo as my second tattoo. Wanted a very basic black sacred heart with flames.
“Tattoo artist was cool but convinced me flowers would be sick.
“He threw it together with the odd angle and said it’s best for the forearm and also made it larger. The stencil looked good and I got it.
“Now I have 12 tattoos and it’s the only one on my right arm and I hate it. It looks like a butt plug from the angle and flowers look awful.
“I really want to fix it but not sure of any good ideas.”
And it was that terrible, the tattoo artist even removed a picture of the body art from his Instagram page.
The disgruntled customer continued: “Even the artist who did it deleted it from his Instagram.
“So cover up thoughts or ways to make the heart better would be amazing.”
Rather than poking fun at his unfortunate inking, Redditors offered the man some advice on how to hide it with other designs.
One wrote: “Cover it up with a cowboy with a hat since you like the movie tombstone.
“Whatever you do you’ll most likely need some laser removal. You have a lot of black in that tattoo.”
While another added: “Make it a hand grenade with flowers coming out in the top!”
The poster then said he was mulling over the idea of finding another tattoo artist who was able to reshape the heart.
We previously told how one tattoo fan caused a stir on social media after sharing a snap of their Virgin Mary inking – that appeared to incorporate quite the inappropriate body part.
The tattoo, on a woman’s upper arm, showed the Virgin Mary with a halo of light above her head, wearing a flowing pink robe.
But it was the saint’s robe that provoked the most response among commenters on the video – with many people suggesting they could see a vulva in the design.

Speaking of bad tattoo’s, this woman’s Greek goddess body art was mocked after social media users spotted it looked like a dildo.
And this fella was left unable to wear shorts without getting dodgy looks – as his elephant inking could be easily mistaken for something else.
