We went down to London, we were so involved in it, We were so up for a laugh, that's just the kind of people we are. I never expected to get onto it, it was just a joke between us.

The tattoo was created on hit MTV series Just Tattoo Of Us, which Christian appeared on in 2018 with then-best friend Megan Green.Ĭhristian said: "In 2018, I applied for Just Tattoo Of Us with my best friend, Megan. I might keep it for a little bit longer before trying to get it covered at another point." Since I didn't have any luck getting an appointment, I might just leave it be for now. Anyway, he said there was too much colour in my tattoo for him to do laser treatment on it. "I find that funny in the grand scheme of things. She said the guy thought I was taking the p*ss and that he thought I was a competitor trying to figure out prices. "After I posted about it on Facebook, a girl reached out to me, saying that she was going in for laser treatment the next day. I think they thought I was having them on when I sent them a picture of it, because I didn't get a response after that. Laserways Clinic have since admitted they did initially suspect Christian's enquiry to be a 'joke or a competitor' at first but said that they would not work on his tattoos as they couldn't guarantee a satisfactory removal due to the 'multiple colours and depth' of the inking.Ĭhristian, from Newcastle, Tyne and Wear, said: "I just wanted to get it lasered so the colours would fade a little bit as they're really bright.
The friend later revealed that somebody at the clinic apparently thought he was 'taking the p*ss' as they've had competitors reach out previously in a bid to gauge prices.Ĭhristian Walton, 23, from Newcastle, Tyne and Wear, says the tattoo has stopped him for wearing white shirts on nights out as it can be seen through the shirt (Image: Kennedy News and Media) But after hearing nothing back and sharing his disappointment on Facebook, a pal who was also getting a tattoo lasered off there said he'd find out why he hadn't had a reply. The 23-year-old texted Laserways Clinic, along with a picture of the tattoo, to find out how much it would be to see the back of it for good.
But being the owner of such a unique tattoo in vibrant colours means Christian's been forced to ditch white shirts on nights out - and he's now decided to get rid of it.
