I thumped myself pretty good 7 times in TIG welding class this past spring. the first 6 were on the 1st couple of days, and were because of common rookie mistakes, but nothing major, just enough to get your attention and maybe make you inadvertently throw something. The last time wsa towards the end, I was welding together 2 pieces of 3/8 inch stainless so I had the amperage at around 120. I picked up the torch and the filler wire, got into position, hit the pedal to start welding and WHAM! I had forgotten to put the handle on the torch so my hand was on bare metal. Let's just say 120 amps pumping through your body isn't the greatest feeling ever.
 
I have touched electric fences, and also been hit by lightening whilst taking a bath. Blew me straight out of the tub. Ever since then, batteries in watches, cell phones etc. lose their power extremely quickly when I use them. I also can't use remote mikes because of some interference.

I didnt have the tattoo at the time... but I wish it did make my hair fall out, cause it would save me having to shave it.
 
once when touching a faulty lamp. . . it had a movable swivel-like design, with the bulb part connected to the base with two metal rods. it wasn't a major shock, but when i picked it up there was a definite current running through it. safe enough to actually hold it, but it made me nervous so i tossed it out.

another time i was riding my bike (i was 10 or 11) and a car ran me off the road. went down a hill and my face was stopped by the electric fence hitting right across my cheek. my bike kept going. ouch.
 
way more times that I care to remember... lol
 
Quite a few, both fish-related and not. The nots were usually a lot more painful.
 
Trying to plug in a broken tank light.. while touching the light area..

Unplugging a washer and getting my finger(that just ****ing happened to have a metal thingybob on it) on the prongs. then I couldn't let go of it.. that wasn't fun...
