Lewis Flint, 21, from Grimsby, was just 16 when he first got the inking - below the legal age limit - but now wants to pull the plug on the red hoover with eyes.

He stars in Channel 4 's Bodyshockers, where he admits that when he first got the design that he became a bit of a "local hero" and constantly got it out to show off.

But now he realises the joke is on him as it's ruining his sex life, and he wants to get laser to finally get rid of Henry and the plug on his behind.

He reveals his worries of the removal process: "I've heard that laser is really painful, but what would be more painful is never getting laid again."

Lewis shares why he decided to get the Hoover design: "When I first got it done aged 16 I couldn't stop getting it out, I got loads of attention and I was a bit of a local hero, I loved it."

"When she saw it she said 'what's that? I am off!', I was gutted, I never thought I would regret my tattoo when I got it done."

His mother, Rachel doesn't like the tattoo either and says she isn't surprised by the girl's reaction: "I completely understand why the poor girl ran away and she could have been a keeper.

She added: "I can't believe he has had the tattoo, it must be off putting for a lot of girls. You can't take him seriously as it is ridiculous."

For the young barman he's ready to get rid of his comical mistake but unfortunately the pain of the laser is too much for him to bear.

As he enters the surgery to begin the session, Lewis only lasts a minute before he has to stop the procedure.

"The thought of that going round near my balls is unbearable. I don't know how people put up with 20 minutes of it.

"Laser is too painful for me to get rid of this tattoo, I am going to have to put up with it."
