So we have plenty of people who come to us with tattoos that tell a story. Gorgeous pieces of work that were half finished and never to be completed, stories of loved ones they lost, or hardships they’ve endured. And. Sometimes they’re in the category of ‘Welp. That’s a tattoo they got alright.’

We had a gentleman with a mustache on his genitals. And. That’s not something we really look at often but sometimes when somethings really peculiar, things just happen to stand out to you.

We also had another gentleman with what we could only assume to be his favorite kama sutra positions tattooed all over.

I’m pretty young in my career, so I don’t have many experiences besides those, because most of the time ‘odd’ is just part of the job. So my gauge on what’s odd is different from most others. So! I asked my coworkers who’ve got far more years under their belts.

One of my coworkers said their oddest experience was embalming a case they were told before hand was ‘an accident’. Only if it was an accident, he’d have to fall on his face with a hatchet…. 35 times.

Another coworker said their oddest experience was walking through the prep room at night, in the dark, and finding a severed head from a decapitation case looking at him. Which he said the oddest part was just his reaction of ‘yep, that’s a thing’, before he kept going on with his job.
