Bongani Urban and Rory share nightmare tattoo stories
As they say, behind every tattoo there is a story. Our very own Bongani Urban and Rory decided to open up about theirs.
When getting a tattoo, we are often told to think about it carefully, because ink is permanent and it's something we are going to be stuck with for the rest of our lives. It is advised that we should get something with meaning.
While on the topic of tattoos on-air on Monday, Bongani Urban and Rory shared their nightmare tattoo stories and how they got them.

East Coasters, you are going to get a kick out of Rory's story:
'I originally just had the word ‘think’ on my right arm, but a few years later wanted to add ‘create’ and ‘challenge’. The tattoo artist convinced me she could also make the word ‘think’ a little bigger by going over it with a different font. She assured me she knew what she was doing.
'What I am now left with is ‘create’, ‘challenge’ and ‘thshkinkk’. Or something. It is a mess. It looks like someone stood a few metres away from me and flung ink in the general direction of my right tricep.
'The lesson learned and the story I tell everyone: Thshkinkk before you ink'.

While Rory's tattoo looks like a hot mess, get a load of Bongani's alleged initials in Chinese:
'I had just finished matric and was wanting to do something rebellious. So I went to a tattoo parlour and when I walked in, the tattoo artist was having a beer and asked me to give him a minute to down his beer.
'He showed me letters in Chinese and told me that they could spell my name in Chinese. At the time I thought that would be really cool so I agreed.
'So instead of spelling out my whole name, I opted for my initials, and I guess these are my initials in chines because I have never actually google what these letters mean'.
