Season One of Black Ink Crew introduced us to the skillful designs the artists at Ceaser's Harlem tattoo spot were capable of executing on a daily basis. From fighter pilots to elaborate mermaids, Dutchess, O'S**t, and Cease himself have built up the reputation of being some of the best in the business thanks to their impressive work. Sure, a tattoo looks good, but it can also hurt. A LOT. Check out our roundup of the most tremendous expressions of agony and discomfort as seen on the faces of Black Ink's many customers.

Does this make you think twice about getting some ink of your own?

Season Two of Black Ink Crew premieres tonight at 9:30 pm ET/PT.
