19 Tattoo Artists Share Designs They’re Tired Of Doing

When you get your first tattoo, you want it to be something cool. Something special, something that is personal to you. But little do people know that there are designs used so much they can draw tallies on how many people asked for the exact same design in a month.

Fortunately, some of them request, such as hometown coordinates or zodiacs, which some people don’t mind to know about other people having them. But imagine having to do the same design 5 times in a week – you’re bound to get sick of it, too.
