Viewers were left horrified by a new reality TV show that sees people design tattoos for their loved ones - without them having any say in what is inked onto their skin.

During the first episode of Just Tattoo of Us, fans watched in horror as participants had everything from a woman defecating to a parking ticket permanently branded on their skin.

Audiences were left hiding behind their hands as the crude inkings were revealed, with many saying they were the 'worst tattoos they'd ever seen'.

Participants Rhianna, 18, and Kierra, 19, had known each other since their school days, and insisted their friendship would survive no matter what tattoos they chose for each other.

Kierra was given a tattoo of a woman going to the toilet down her back by her best friend Rhianna

But their bond was pushed to breaking point when Rhianna chose a huge tattoo of a nude woman defecating to be inked on Kierra's back.

The 19-year-old was stunned into silence, and complained that she had 'literal excrement' on her back.

She chose a less shocking tattoo for Rhianna, who was given a picture of a shovel digging for gold because her friend believes she is a gold digger - which her pal denied.

Despite their outrageous inkings, the pair said insisted their bond remained unbreakable, and they left staying the best of friends.

The friends said the outrageous tattoos wouldn't come between their eight year long friendship

Another horrifying tattoo belonged to Jack, whose girlfriend Bronte chose to get her face put onto his chest.

Jack had cheated on her at the beginning of their relationship and she wanted any girls he might be unfaithful with to see her face.

He stitched her up just as badly with a tattoo of an umbrella in the rain that seemed innocuous enough until she explained what it meant.

Jack's ex girlfriend was called April and he has a matching tattoo to remind him of her, with the rain standing for April showers.

She called him a 't***' and stormed out of the tattoo parlour when she realised what he'd chosen for her

He previously admitted to Bronte that he was still in love with April, and decided the best choice for Bronte would be an ink about his ex girlfriend.

Bronte stormed out of the tattoo parlour, branding her ex a 't***'.

Perhaps surprisingly the pair decided to stay together after appearing on the show.

The other pair were familiar faces from Geordie Shore and Love Island respectively, with Sam Gowland and Simon Searles choosing each other's tattoos.

Simon chose a huge splattered pie to go on Sam's inner thigh, which he claims represents all of the times he was rejected - or pied off - by women.

Geordie Shore star Sam worried that he looked like he had wet himself with his new tattoo

Sam's was confused by the tattoo as he said he didn't even like pie, and was worried that the ink made him look like he'd wet himself.

His choice for Simon was just as peculiar, as he opted to permanently etch his new friend with a parking ticket.

Sam explained that his friend was always getting tickets because he forgets to pay for his parking so it was his way of ensuring that he'd never get a real ticket again.

Viewers were left in stitches at the outrageous tattoos and took to Twitter to slam the designs

Viewers were shocked by the tattoos that appeared on the show, and took to Twitter to criticise the stars for choosing them for their loved ones.

One tweeted: 'Absolutely lovingggg #JustTattooOfUs but there is nooooo way I would let someone design a tattoo for me. No chance would the ink me getting near my skin.'

'Lmaoooo bronte proper got him i love her go on girl,' another posted.

A third agreed: 'These two claiming theirs best mates, joined at the hip..... yeah I put money on that ending shortly!'
