THIS WEEK SAW about 100 Canadian students turn up to a park in Montreal to have the Quebec student protest symbol permanently inked onto their bodies.

The movement represents opposition to a hike in student fees. More than 200 people turned out to the makeshift parlour to get their red square tattoos according to the Montreal Gazette.

It got us thinking, what are some of the bizarre and ugly images people have had tattooed on their bodies?
