Penis Tattoos?

Had a very strange dream last night that DH had got two large ivy leaves tattooed on him. One of my colleagues was doing the tattooing (someone I know through work rather than actually work with). It made me wonder, is this something you've ever come across (excuse the wording) or are they not actually a thing? (very disturbed by my dream)
YABU - you total weirdo, why did you dream that - of course they're a thing
YANBU - you total weirdo dreaming that, they are definitely not a thing

Ouch.

MildCreamyCheddar · 24/09/2021 20:03

I've known men who have had tattoos there.

ooft · 24/09/2021 20:06

@MildCreamyCheddar did they regret them? What did their partner make of them?!

Google is your entertainment on this one!!

Yes I knew a man who had 'welcome' on his. He regularly got it out in the pub to show to people.

I once dated a tattoo artist who was inked from head to toe - literally- the only exceptions were his face and his penis!
I think getting a tattoo there is quite rare and also getting it should be pretty painful which might put off a lot of men. I would find a penis tattoo also very unattractive and I doubt I’m the only one.

The tattoo artist I got a couple of my tattoos from regularly tattoos penises!

TurquoiseDragon · 24/09/2021 20:11

I've seen images online. It's not common, but definitely happens

ooft · 24/09/2021 20:12

Wow! I don't have tattoos and neither does DH. Don't know whether I should google or not - don't want any more nightmares tonight!

Sounds very painful!

KrakowDawn · 24/09/2021 20:20

Hmmm.
Two thoughts.

  1. owwwwwwwwww
  2. presumably the penis needs to be hard in order to tattoo it, so does the tattooee have to keep themselves engorged throughout? Confused

Thank goodness for MN- where else could I ever ask that? Grin

Depends what sort of advertisements you want to be looking at for the next fortnight or so..l.

Tattoos there are definitely a thing- but piercings there freak me out more. Major ICK

Thereareliterallynonamesleft · 24/09/2021 20:24

Saw the title and wasn’t sure if you meant tattooes ON penises or tattoes OF penises - not sure which would be worse! 😂

its possible using a ring.

@KrakowDawn number 2 is a very good point. Yes glad we are able to share things on mn that we can't share in real life!

Google Puff the Magic dragon tattoo with safe search off. Quite an eye opener! 😂

dementedma · 24/09/2021 20:37

I have one small tattoo. The tattooist told me he had done one penis tattoo where the guy had his girlfriend’s name tattooed on previously but now had a new girlfriend so wanted the name covered. Tattooist said he covered the letters with stars.
the name was Tracy. Good job she wasn’t called Arabella or Samantha

BeaLola · 24/09/2021 20:55

When DS was about 8 and in hospital with suspected appendicitis the tv in his room was stuck on one channel - late at night struggling to sleep I turned it on and there was a programme on where they were "fixing" peoples ill thought out tattoos - it was strangely compelling to watch Blush one chap had I think an ex's name on his penis and they covered it up by tattooing a filled in long cross shape

  • certainly took my mind off DS being poorly (sane DS who woke up whilst I was watching it and was fascinated that people had tattoos there Shock)
ooft · 24/09/2021 21:01

@BeaLola Oh man so he's had to have it done twice. 🤭 I can only imagine how you tried to explain it to DS !!!

I'd imagine if she was called Arabella or Samantha, rather than Tracy he wouldn't be an ex...

A man who had joystick tattooed down there I was 19 when I heard of this through the dirty ladys at work (they were proud if there nickname being on there table was an education)

No just no

ooft · 24/09/2021 21:26

@MrsRobinsonsHandprints GrinGrinGrin Sam for "short" then full name when erect maybe?!
