GRIMSBY, UNITED KINGDOM — Tattooing your crotch area is a questionable idea but inking it with an image of UK vacuum cleaner Henry the Hoover is a deal breaker, apparently.

Now 21-year-old Lewis Flint from Grimsby was 16-years-old when he got his tattoo, which is below the legal age to get inked in the UK. He admits that when he first got the design four plus years ago, he became a bit of a “local hero” and enjoyed the brief bout of fame it gave him.

As he grew up and began dating, however, he found his love interests found his genital tattoo immature and unacceptable. Flint told Channel 4’s Bodyshockers program that he recently became involved with a woman who rejected him the first time they got naked.

Deciding that losing his sex life is more painful than any tattoo removal process could be, Flint decided to have the tattoo removed. But just a minute or so into the laser removal procedure, reports say Flint could not endure the pain and gave up.

Flint told UK media, “The thought of this going round near my balls is unbearable. I don’t know how people put up with 20 minutes of it. Laser is too painful for me to get rid of this tattoo, I am going to have to put up with it.”
