In Sweden, a teenager was stabbed by a violent jester in the middle of the street, and Childline has reported a massive surge in calls from kids who’ve been left frightened by the phenomenon.

Not everyone is so scared though, as this new tattoo craze shows.

People have been paying homage to the killer clown trend with spooky inkings etched on their skin.

The trend seems to be for tattoos of creepy clowns, with black-and-white and just a hint of colour the most popular.

Of course, not everyone goes down that route.

The same thing they do with stupid misspellings or tattoos of former lovers’ names. Laser removal, Dermablend to cover it up or just live with the fact that they’re suggestible idiots.

I guess those idiots never plan to get jobs. Can you imagine seeing one behind a food counter?

Clown: Can I take your order?
Me: Hell, no!
