Imagine the curse of being a musician who produced one hit but wasn't able to write another song that would be nearly as successful. No matter how many albums you'd release, people at your concerts would constantly request that one song. And you'd probably have to give it to them -- a substantial portion of your ticket sales may have depended on it. So you'd be performing the same tune over and over, and over again...

Reddit user Dexley decided to find out whether tattoo artists suffer from repetitive work as well. He made a post on the r/AskReddit subreddit, asking "Tattoo artists, what pieces are you tired of doing?" The short answer is yes. The long answer is the post went viral and has received nearly 16K comments, painting a pretty vivid list of overdone tattoos. Continue scrolling and check it out.

Tattoo artist Lauren Harper, for example, has always loved traditional work. "I like to do a lot of that so I can appeal to a wider audience in my city," she told Bored Panda. "I like to do a lot of floral designs too, which is actually what the majority of my portfolio consists of."

Harper thinks that instead of asking 'what tattoos are unoriginal?' we should be questioning whether we can still think of an original tattoo in the first place. "We all get ideas or inspiration from something else. If you can think of it, it's probably already been done," she said. "And that's ok!"

However, if a client comes to a tattoo artist with a design that is particularly overdone, Harper thinks the professional wouldn't be out of line to point that out. "I might inform my client that something they're wanting is 'trendy' and suggest changes to make it more unique and their own, but at the end of the day it's their tattoo and their body so it's ultimately up to them."

    Yana, the owner and artist of Foxy Ink Tattoo Studio, agrees that there are motifs that historically have been around for a while, or are 'trendy' right now. "What makes a design unoriginal is copying it exactly and without much thought," she told Bored Panda. "It usually comes from a lack of research and I advise other artists to look for more inspiration and variations of the theme, or ask the client if we can add a personal touch to their idea."

    Even though the content might not be original, the story, intent, and execution, according to Yana, can be. "Any rose, pocket watch, anchor, or heart can be executed in an original manner. Except for infinity signs. Infinity signs and flocks of tiny birds are doomed."

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Yana thinks that it's up for the tattoo artists to guide people to more original designs. "As an artist, I am responsible that what I put out into the world is up to my standards," she explained. "I've never refused the design idea for that particular reason and I'm sure that opulent and over the top designs suit certain personalities. If I feel some elements don't fit into the design in terms of content or composition, I will say so, and there will be a clear reason why. Ultimately, the ability to include multiple design elements while keeping them readable depends on the skill of the artist and the limitations of the medium."

    When it comes to developing a design that stands out, Yana advises to really research your idea. "Look around, most of the popular ideas are only the surface of what's out there. Dig a little deeper."

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Harper pointed out that it's important for people to remember their tattoo won't (and shouldn't) look like the reference they bring in from Pinterest. "You ideally pick your artist because you like their work and you should trust them to make you something you like. Trust is a big part of getting a tattoo," she said, adding that in the end, you're the one getting inked. So if you really want a Disney quote, just go for it. It's your skin.

    30 Overly Requested Tattoo Designs That Tattoo Artists Are Sick And Tired Of I worked as a shop manager for a little bit. My boss/the head artist was getting super burnt out on big cats (specifically lions) wearing crowns. In about a month, he'd done 5 realistic lions (and a panther) wearing crowns on dudes who wanted to feel like kings. I had to start politely turning them down when people called to inquire about them.

    "Sorry, Ian's not really interested in doing more big cats this month."

    30 Overly Requested Tattoo Designs That Tattoo Artists Are Sick And Tired Of I’m not against face tattoos, I have friends and peers that wear them quite well. My issue is 18 year olds who want to get them because they want a certain look. Pop culture has made them seem a lot more acceptable then they actually are. At the end of the day in the majority of careers they will hinder employment.

    When I got my tattoo of a juggling bear, I was making small talk with the tattoo artist. She said she was tired of doing nothing but tribal designs and dragons all the time. She said the whole shop talked about my Bear juggling a club, a ball, and a machete, and that they were so thrilled by the originality that they were thinking about doing it for free.

    They didn't. Cost me $300. Great tattoo though. Still my only one.

    "Hey Kev, do you have time for a walk in today?"

    He looks over and says "maybe, what do they want?"

    "An infinity loop"

    "Are they on hold?"

    "Yes."

    "F**k that, I'm so f**king sick of infinity loops. Tell em I'm busy."

    So I think infinity loops for Kev.

    UK tattoo artist. Okay, pocket watches with roses surrounding them have started to die out bit one or two years ago,, my god they were f**kin rife. The worst part is when the customer says they want one they follow with, I've got an idea to make it special and unique to me. And I'd say ..."you want the time your baby was born don't you?". ..."omg how did you know" -_-. This year it has definitely moved on to lions, tigers etc wearing crowns, it's always the guys that have to check with their lass if the design is ok before they start too. Like mentioned before however, I'll take a pocket watch with a lions face in the centre, birds flying off it merging into an infinity symbol with each bird having its own individual birthstone of the families lost cats over the years, than a smelly person.

    For the record, I was asking for a rat, and he apologized profusely, but I thought it was hilarious. I know three different Coloradans with Pikes Peak tattoos.

    When my parents named me, they didn't no anyone else with the same name. In my maths class, at school, there were 4 Nicola's and 2 Nicholas'... So they all had the same idea and the same time?

    In Dutch these are called 'reetgewei' ( 'a*s antlers' in English).

    My first tattoo was “I love you forever and always” in my mom’s handwriting on my foot. While my tattoo artist was doing it another artist came in the room to ask what I was getting, when he found out it was script on my foot he asked, “let me guess, ‘live, laugh, love’?” He awkwardly left after we explained it wasn’t that and in fact my mom’s handwriting. So. I’d say he’s sick of that.

    I'm getting my first tattoo at 60, next month. I have an old letter from my mom that was signed simply "Love, Mom". I'm having that tattooed on my wrist in her handwriting. I can always see it there. I'm going with my 20 year old son who is having his "sleeve" colored.

    Butterflies... I f**king hate butterflies. They are part of the reason I quit tattooing. But the main reason were pain-in-the-ass customers who thought they were experts because they watched a couple of episodes of Miami ink. "What!?! You can't do an entire back piece in one session?"

    If I were a tattoo artist, I'd have a "no butterflies" sign, just like there's a "No Stairway to Heaven" sign in Wayne's World.

    26-3-20. But the Romans had different ways of writing dates, none of which are like this.

    Swastika requests everyday? Would that not be cause for concern?

    I have a couple chemistry tattoos and my artist made a comment about girls getting dopamine, serotonin, & oxytocin with the word happiness. Seemed like he might have done a few too many.

    I watched a TV show where a bloke was offering people 50quid if they allowed him to choose a tattoo for them to get (they weren't allowed to see if until it was done. This one moron agreed and ended up with a rather large portrait of Ricky Martin with the words living la vida loca underneath ....he was gutted ...instantly regretted it and looked close to tears. It was pretty funny

    F**king. Nautical. Stars.

    Gross. Stop it. That dumbass f**king red and black or purple and black stars are so over done and trashy. Literally never had a good experience with a girl who’s had that tattoo and I’ve been with 8.

    Couldn't have been that bad considering you repeated the mistake 7 times.
