Getting a Tattoo in a Drift Cars Goes as Badly as You'd Imagine

Tattoo parlors may not be the quietest or most serene places on Earth, but almost all of them have one thing in common: they don't move around while the artist is inking the client.

Holding still is usually a good idea when dealing with needles, especially when not only do you run the risk of getting stung, but also ending up with a not so pretty drawing permanently imprinted on your body. Some people, though, are born to do the exact opposite of what common sense tells them to.

That's precisely the case of Chris Forsberg, American self-taught drift driver, Bryan Kienlen from The Bouncing Souls punk rock band, and Ryan Tuerck, a professional American drifting driver. With two drivers and a singer, the roles in the stunt may not be immediately obvious, so here's how things stood.

Chris was the unlucky recipient of the tattoo with Bryan being on the other end of the ink gun, all while Ryan made sure his job was as difficult as possible. Well, that may or may not have been the deal from the start, but when you get in a tuned-up Infiniti M45 with a professional drift driver at the wheel, what exactly do you expect?

Truth be told, the tattoo itself didn't involve much artistry since it was just four letters (ECFU, which stands for something nasty if you live on the East Coast), but that doesn't mean it didn't come out looking completely wrong. Apparently, g-forces and holding the ink gun straight don't go together that well.

Something similar was attempted by Top Gear quite a few years back during one of their more controversial materials where the three showed just how versatile a Skoda Yeti can be. To do that, one of the trials saw a tattoo artist draw a cloverleaf on somebody's shoulder while Jeremy drove the Skoda over a grassy field.

However, Top Gear's version did not benefit from a Bouncing Souls soundtrack ("I'm a Hopeless Romantic," to spare you the shame. I mean the Shazam) or a drift car, so we'll go with this.
