Most of us who were born in the 80s or 90s have got a tattoo or two that we deeply regret. Mine is my shitty Tramp stamp that looks like the Bacardi bat logo. So fucking cringe. However I’m not so fussed by it that I would consider self-removal, like the utter doofus in this story.

With laser tattoo removal costing hundreds of pounds, some people have come up with their own methods of ridding themselves of their patchy, badly drawn, unwanted ink - like this guy who thought a cheese grater would be the best idea. Ouch

The unnamed 21-year-old said he only did it because he didn’t think he’d be able to join the airport police if he had a visible tattoo. Bit drastic - I’m pretty sure a long sleeved shirt could have fixed it. Apparently though, he just didn’t want to take the risk of being rejected so he cracked out the grater and started grating his arm like it was a wedge of Parmesan.

Speaking to local media in Mendoza, Argentina, the dude explained that he’d only had the ink for a week before he realised he wanted to join the airport police. The police website didn’t actually specify that applicants couldn’t have any tattoos but the guy heard that he wouldn’t be allowed to work there if he had any tattoos that were visible. I’m pretty sure they meant face and hands and not some naff little symbol on your forearm but hey, let’s slice some skin.

After the guys arm started to resemble an uncooked ham, he reached out to his friend, Matias Costa, who basically told him he was nuts. Apparently, grater dude originally got the idea for his home removal on YouTube, which is a pretty dumb place to seek advice in the first place. After a few unsuccessful attempts with a pumice stone and other methods, the guy reached for the grater but instantly regretted it. He said: “it hurt and bled a lot”. No shit! He continued:

Quote:I had to bandage it a lot and apply disinfectant. A week later I went to the hospital and had a tetanus vaccination. In that moment I regretted it, of course I did.

What a fucking twat!

What did he do with the gratings? A nice little salad topping?
