Tattoo Anonymous

A fatal fall, a psychotic copycat neighbour and we ask the question - are Ned Kelly tattoos cursed?

We unlock a new fear as well as hear from a listener who shared with us the first time they got rattled by a customer.

An extra long episode as we unravel a story about the dangerous misuse of numbing products and a shamans girlfriend having a little mid-tattoo crisis.

We have stories of how a person traded their way to a home as well as a story that could bring a tear to a glass eye. We also find out (with help from our listeners) who has the most shitty tattoos.

A real mixed bag this week! Another story from our friend, the former Navy Special Forces bomb technician. A drunken throw-back to the cowboy days of tattooing. A bunch of Australian tattoo history. And also a tattoo franchise in trouble…

We hear from a former bomb technician turned tattooer who had a bomb show up at work, along with another story of a scammy tattooer. MJ also shares a super gnarly newspaper article with Chris from the 80’s.

This episodes contains stories of sour milk and some Canadians taking the absolute piss.

Money laundering, grown men with gross Disney tattoos and… this can’t be right… pegging?!

Is this the best written story we have ever had submitted? Possibly! We also try to figure out who is to blame for a free tattoo that ended up costing $3000.

We get sent possibly the worst family portrait story ever as well as a story about when tattooing a celebrity goes wrong!

We hear from the colleague of a serial plagiariser as well as someone who was recruited by their boss to carry out a firebombing mission that goes awry.

We learn of a former inmate on a mission from god as well as a customer who got scammed by their tattooer.

Ever wondered if the tattoo you were getting was permanent?

One listener regales us with a tale not too dissimilar from the plot of Baby Reindeer. Whilst another listener tells us about being a captive audience of one to some bizarre conspiracies.

DISCLAIMER: The audio cuts out for a couple of minutes at the beginning - But comes back in at 3:33. We apologise and this won’t happen again, we promise. - A story of the one image that proves to be this tattooers Kryptonite and a listener tells all about a persistent stalker in the shop.

As a Christmas bonus from us and ours to you and yours, we have something special! A game of Naughty or Nice, our list of people you should get tattooed by in 2026, and a particularly concerning WWYD to round out the year.

When tinder is your preferred tattoo booking platform and things turn out to be… less than professional. And a listener regales us with a story of a stranger who is down on his luck but determined to repay a favour.

One listener gets more than they bargained for whilst another writes us a story of their incredible powers of recovery!

Have you ever pissed yourself as an adult? Or maybe committed to getting tattooed whilst drunk in a foreign country?

Everything that could have gone wrong went wrong in this chaotic episode! However, we have a story where a listener was a bit too supportive of their tattooer and a harrowing tale of sepsis.

The perils of moral support and a valuable lesson about giving people a chance… when you probably shouldn’t.

A story from Kings Cross that highlights the importance of adult literacy. Along with a listener who came to us for genuine advice for a genuine problem. Advice we felt required some help from someone who gives guidance for a living. We called a priest…

The most picturesque location for a DIY tattoo shop quickly descends into bloody mayhem and a punter goes all out to win back her mans.

A listener referees a road rage fuelled street fight. And we learn the way to unlock the secrets of the universe is through meth!

As a little treat we thought we would put out our test recording which features a story that has cemented its place in tattoo folk lore for generations to come.
