People getting tattoos of Will Smith slapping Chris Rock

US: Will Smith would like to forget the now viral slap he gave to comedian Chris Rock at the Oscars, but some people are planning to make it a permanent memory. They have approached tattoo artists who find the idea extremely funny.

“I thought, let’s do it. It’s hilarious,” Birmingham based tattoo artist Jon Arton told SWNS. “It’s quite small and discreet – if it wasn’t I probably wouldn’t have done it,” the 36-year-old said.

He spoke to British radio station Heart and said making this tattoo is the weirdest request he has received so far. But he happily obliged, tattooing the infamous outburst on a customer’s leg.

But Arton is not the only tattoo artist who has received such request. – NDTV
