Find Out Paul Booth’s, Megan Massacre’s and Ryan Ashley’s WILDEST Stories

It’s time for the second episode of our brand new INKED Talk series. Last week, 25 of the top tattoo artists from around the world shared how they became tattoo artists and rose to prominence in the industry. This week, we’re mixing things up in a big week. We asked our artist their craziest client story, and trust us, you’re not ready for what you’re about to hear. Even the highest tier tattooers experience out of control clients and nearly everyone had an experience wilder than the last. From a client who puked all over a tattooer and his station, to a horny customer getting a boner during a tattoo—these artists have truly experienced the worst of the worst.
