According to the most recent figures, one million Britons claim to have gotten a tattoo during a late night drinking session.
But for one man, the consequences proved particularly severe. Not only did Lee, a father-of-five from Grimsby lose his job, his facial tattoos have also resulted in social ostracism and his children being picked on at school.
So desperate to get rid of them did the 35-year-old become, he even resorted to trying to scratch them off using a cheese grater.
Difference: Lee wishes he had kept his face tattoo-free and says people judge him for his tattoos

Lee's ordeal began following a drunken party. After the discussion moved to inkings, a friend boasted he could make a tattoo gun. Much to everyone's surprise, he did.
'He got a little motor, some biros and this welding thing and he came back an hour later with this machine,' remembers Lee.
'I thought: "This is pretty cool!" He didn't have any ink so someone went and got a printer cartridge and we all thought: well this will do! It was nuts!'
The next morning, much to his horror, he woke up to find three wobbly tears etched into his cheeks with jet black ink.
'When I sobered up I looked in the mirror and thought: Who are you? What the Hell have you done to yourself? You look like an idiot,' he remembers.
'It looks like an alien sneezed on my face.'
Worse was to come. On his first day back at work after getting the tattoo, his bosses called him into the office and gave him the sack.
This is so unfortunate. I feel like he could probably get a job working in the back of some jank place for minimum wage, but who wants that life?
It's also really silly when you think about it. A few blotches of ink on your skin and you're suddenly unemployable. Society says so because...society says so. It's so neanderthal and crude

It's his own damn fault though.
