10 Utterly Disturbing Ways That Obsessed Fans Go Too Far

9. Tattoos €“ So Many, Many Horrible Tattoos

Getting tattoos representing things that you love or that have had a significant impact upon your life is perfectly normal €“ some would suggest that that€™s the best kind of ink to get. In 2014, there are tattoo artists in practically every town in the western world that are capable of photorealistic work, so it€™s perfectly feasible that, given a little waiting time and splashing out some serious cash, you could get a fantastic interpretation of your favourite actor, singer, wrestler or whatever floats your boat. Of course, if that boat is more of a leaky dinghy covered in bird crap, then you get artwork like the genius piece above€ or this:
These are only the tip of the iceberg €“ google if you fancy a giggle. Some of the most awful, reprehensible backstreet ink ever scratched into some unsuspecting muppet€™s skin is a direct result of fandom gone septic. Perhaps one of the most notorious is the still unnamed Los Angelina who had R&B sock puppet Drake€™s name tattooed in large, friendly letters across her entire forehead in December 2011.
When Drake himself was informed about it, he was shellshocked but diplomatic about wanting to meet her €œto understand what happened.€ He had some choice words for the tattooist that undertook the work, however. What€™s even weirder about that story is that, since then, someone€™s had the young lady€™s own face €“ complete with Drakework €“ tattooed upon their own arm.
People are baffling, scary and strange.
