A man had to have a "rusty" penis padlock broken with a hammer after he split with his girlfriend who left with the only key.
Having bought the padlock for a sex game with his partner, he ended up having to go to a tattoo and piercing specialist in Barcelona, Spain, to see if they could remove it.
He had bought the lock about eight months ago and wore it from time to time with his girlfriend while she kept hold of the key.
But the unnamed man had spent the past three months trying to remove it after breaking up with his lover.
And by the time he eventually retrieved the key from his ex, the lock had rusted shut.
So he went to the tattoo specialist in the Catalan capital with the pressing problem.
The tattooist, known as La Tuerta Piercer online, shared footage of the incident on TikTok for her 603,000 followers.
The clip shows the man standing with his back to the camera as La Tuerta consults with her colleague Alex.
While inspecting the problem at hand with rubber gloves on, they come to the conclusion that the lock has rusted, making its removal even more complicated.
Alex says: "It's very rusty. Of course, you've been showering with it on, right?"
The scene then cuts to the tattooist holding the padlock after its removal.
La Tuerta tells the camera: "In his previous relationship, they had a game where one of them would put the lock on and the other would keep the key.
"It didn't end well."
The studio owner added that she sees similar incidents every month.
She stated: "People have been asking, why would someone be wearing something like this? Unfortunately, we see this here in the studio every month."
The man said he eventually managed to retrieve the key from his ex, but by then the lock had rusted shut.
The tattooist explained: "The padlock had been around it for so long, part of it was rusty.
"They key would not go fully inside and therefore would not turn."
She explained that they eventually opened the lock with several carefully-administered hammer blows.
La Tuerta said: "Very carefully, we put the key in place and gave it a couple of hits with a hammer. It then came off."
The video went viral on TikTok with 2.2 million views and 1,650 comments.
One viewer said: "What a way to force him to be faithful..."
Eva Ruiz commented: "It all seemed very strange to me and then she suddenly said 'we see this every month'. In the end, I'm the weird one."
Sergio wrote: "I almost fainted when I heard Alex say 'it's very rusty'," and Bubbles remarked: "When you think you've seen it all."
