"I tattoo bargirls as a hobby"

Private viewings may also be available.

Pattaya's favourite tattoo artist now writes about his exotic hobby in a new blog.

At only 20 years old, G has eight tattoo's on her body already, ranging from a self inflicted "prison" tatt to some neat old English lettering.

The lettering might be neat but, unfortunately for G, it spells out the name of an ex-boyfriend right across her arse - "JUSTIN."

I suggested changing this to "Just-in?" and then told the joke "what do you call a man with a two inch penis."

She didn't laugh.

Tatt2dude can sympathise with the girl because he sports a problematic tattoo of his own - an unwanted Buddha image on his left leg.

I decided on an image that would remind me of Thailand. Big mistake! It is NOT cool to have a Buddha tattoo anywhere below the waist!

After much head scratching, Tatt2dude finally decided to turn the offending image into a giant eyeball with a dense black pupil - but he's only got one chance to get it right.

Once you go black there is no going back.

Tatt2dude - or Simon to his daytime web design clients - is the newest recruit to Thailand's growing army of expat bloggers and, last week, he sent me the shortest but most intriguing email I've read in ages.

Any chance of a link to my blog?

I tattoo bargirls as a hobby.

I couldn't resist taking a look and I'm glad I did because it turned out to be a great read.

Tarts with tatts look adorably slutty but I've warned my own girlfriend that, if she gets one, I'll carve it off with a bread knife.
