These Tattoos Are Wrong In So Many Ways

Most people have a strong passion for ink. Some teenagers consider it as a sign of rebellion or even a way to express their passion through art. But then there’s some real head-scratchers. You’ve probably seen a couple of people’s tattoos that left you wondering: “Where in the world did they get the ideas for this?” They’re more than art pieces. Tattoos are artworks you carry to your grave (unless you can afford to laser them off). Some of us had ideas for tattoos where we dreamed about them when we were 18; now we have them and we’re not quite happy with how they turned out. We have a collection of tattoos that give us major facepalm moments. They’ll make you think before diving under the needle.

Piercing Eyes

Rightfully behind bars, in our humble opinion. Ask women; they’ll tell you the worst thing you can possibly do to your appearance is to sport a badly-shaped eyebrow. He took it a step further, shaved it off and had someone imprint a silent protest.

We don’t care how many years you’re sentenced to prison. Whether or not you had committed the crime is not enough of a justification for self-inflicted injury. Grow your eyebrows back, shade them dark. This can never appeal to jurors’ emotions.

Mistaken Identity

He rose to fame as a stand-up comedian on a television show that ran for nearly a decade. It was titled his very name. So we understand why he would be adored by many. Sometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason.

It’s less travelled if you don’t know the correct name. He’s Jerry, not Jimmy Seinfeld. The face is a match. So anyone would be left wondering if Jimmy Seinfeld has a twin brother. He doesn’t. He has a sister named Carolyn. So now, it’s become clear that’s a painful typographical error.

Norma Jean

She’s more famously known as Marilyn Monroe. One of her key statements was: “Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” This design has a little of it all, with a dash of humor on the side.

We think it’s beautiful in that it’s a tribute to one of Hollywood’s greatest sex symbols. And it’s maddening that the whole tat is impeccable, if it were not for that cross-eye. Well, as Monroe puts it, it’s better that this is ridiculously hilarious than uninteresting.

Sound-Alike

Homophones, that’s what this kind of words are called. Examples include ate, eight; see, C; hour, our; meet, meat; their, there, they’re; cell, sell. Care to add one more? How about patience? How about being so certain you know what’s going on that you’re prepared to have a mistake be permanent?

Lovely font. Wrong spelling. Different word entirely. How could this woman have sat idly by while her artist branded her, admitted her into his care? Because if it were us, we would be sued for malpractice! If we can’t have patience as a virtue, how about we be treated with non-maleficence?

Spell Checker

So many people wear their love for their favorite sports teams on their sleeves — and some do it a bit more literally. This NFL Raiders logo would hurt ticket sales. Teams might stay away from cheering the group both on the stadium, and out of it.

How about he wear an eyepatch on both ends? This is not a sight he would want to see. And that misspelled name adds insult to injury. Maybe tattoo artists should have prior licenses. Someone ought to accredit their drawing and spelling skills.

Toad

Being a ’90s baby, this image brings to mind the supportive mushroom-humanoid in Mario’s franchise. You have probably encountered him while you and your friends played Mario Kart or Mario Party. But you probably never guessed he could look quite this disturbing.

Well, in September 2018, it started trending because of a bad rep, as this tattoo. It would have looked cute but it seems like she’s allergic to it. Her skin is raised and bumpy while the tattoo’s edges seem non-distinct. Her body has clearly identified it as an irritant.

Going Bare

If you don’t have the dough to buy a new pair of shoes, try this alternative. It looks pretty cool. We would not have thought it was his bare foot because those laces look real. Or maybe it’s just the hue of the picture.

It loses its appeal, because he would have to wear socks when wearing shoes. He’s not going to go barefoot outside, is he? That’s going to hurt. But then again several people have gone to extreme lengths to flaunt their idea of “beauty” or “art”. We can assume he runs fast with those kicks.

Milky Way

She’s got creamy, clear skin (at least from the look of things) and what does she do with it? She pays a couple hundred dollars to have the galaxy inked on her chest. And the universe responds by way of karma.

Some women would kill to have a perfect, spotless complexion, whereas others think tatted freckles look cool. A phoenix rising from the ashes is superb. An eagle or a dove is enlightening. But specks of ink across the bosom isn’t. Maybe she should go for a turtle-necked top? For clothing! Don’t add insult injury.

Poor Quality

Imagine a heavy-set guy straddling a Cruiser Motorcycle. It’s deafening but sweet purr calls your attention. And as it slows to the side, he extends his leg to engage the kickstand. He stands to his full 6’7″ height and takes off his jacket. He walks towards the counter and you notice this.

We know it’s a lion, but was it supposed to be an abstraction? Is it due to a lack of space or poor proportions? Because even if we cock our heads, seeing this design on a grisly biker would bring anyone to laugh their butts off.

Going Digital

The next time we want to be reminded of the time, we’re going for a digital clock. This analog design has two “IIIs” on it. You’re either too early or late for an appointment. We’re not exactly in need of an ink clock.

Otherwise, the design looks at least passable. To be fair, an actual pirate would likely have settled for something menacing, but this will do. Those digits are pretty horrible as is. Maybe a sun dial will be a better alternative.

Wanted For Bad Design

You would definitely land some time for this design. How about that line-up? He stands at 5’9″, somewhere in his 40s, Caucasian with brown hair. And as we take a photo for driving under the influence, we’ll request him to turn the side. Shutters click.

His eyes struggle to focus at the camera lens. He’s breathing through his teeth, and in his dazed state, he stares unflinchingly at space. There are so many random particles to observe, and only one life to drunkenly overlook them. We hope that jail time does him good. That will keep him from more tat mistakes.

Which System?

The heavy metal band System of the Down made a hit when it had called out national governments for mass genocide and engaging in pointless wars. It was uncharacteristic of a band like theirs. F*** the System, we need to fix the system.

Hopefully, he doesn’t mean to vent his rage against, say, the educational system, because this is a clear point that someone skipped a couple of grades, or dropped out of them. Try reading it aloud, Stuttering Stanley. It makes for a good alliteration of sorts.

Coloring Book

What part of the tattoo gave his identity away? For us it was the cross piercing his heart. The face is dubious. It could look like any Scottish native. That hairstyle looks like a dyed judicial wig. At least it has cute ends.

But this looks like it was drawn by a second-grader. Maybe a second-grader could have done better. And it runs the whole length of his arm. This artwork just pierces our hearts. Maybe another tattoo will beckon the second coming of Christ?

No, Don’t

This company brand has delivered innovative sportswear over the years. No wonder it can cause quite a sting to one’s pocket, just as this design is nothing short of an eyesore. Don’t. This is the only circumstance you shouldn’t do it.

We don’t even understand what those lines in his lower back stand for. He looks like a prison inmate standing against the wall with his bare back and his slumped back. Care to file a suit for trademark infringement? This artist is putting Nike to shame.

Having A Fallout

Now this one deserves a bit of light shed on the back story. We know him as Vault Boy and he keeps giving us a thumbs up. Why? See if the blast coming from the atomic bomb is bigger than your thumb, you’re within the radiation zone.

If you can, hastily gather everyone and run! So now, we have our thumbs up, facing the screen within a meter’s distance. And we can clearly see this devastation: pale hue, scraggly lines, and ill-defined shape. Guess we should evacuate too!

Plastic-Wear

This brand made headlines by producing plastic footwear that made us do away with the trouble of choosing between our leather shoes, or our plastic sandals. We don’t want dirt wedged between our nails, but we can’t wear leather shoes either because they’re uncomfortable.

Thank goodness for crocs! This man showed his enthusiasm by having it inked on his skin. This is not the kind of enthusiasm we would support. How about we support the brand by simply buying their footwear? Let those kicks stay on our shoes, and off our legs.

Tupac Shakur

Born in 1971, Tupac rapped his way through the music industry and became a voice for many Black Americans to identify with who had suffered injustice through racial discrimination. He was gunned down in 1996 and has been commemorated through by many fans, such as this.

Just to paint a mental image of Tupac: he has an oval, angular face with a wide forehead. He kind of looks like Demetrius Shipp Jr. but a slimmer version. Once again, we had to do some research to figure out who this Tupac guy is. Because that tattoo does not bring to mind Shakur.

Conflict Of Ideas

Okay, so this type of tattoo is definitely continuing a sailors’ tradition. But what about this message? So does this mean we shouldn’t live a life of purpose? Because the whole existence of an anchor is to sink and connect the ship to the waterbed.

Maybe on some days we can cover up the anchor tattoo; on other days we cover up the words. If we display both, that’s going to be a conversation starter. And introverts dislike unnecessary chit-chat with random people on a sinking ship.

Catwoman?

There’s just so many clashing gender cues here that it’s making our heads spin. We aren’t really sure what this tattoo is. Is this a match-up of Catwoman and Batman? Is this Flash’s Ezra Miller? Because we can totally imagine him as this androgynous figure.

It’s too effeminate to be Deadpool. That strong jawline and square face don’t remind us of Ryan Reynolds. The insignia on his chest shows it’s Batman, but instead of rushing to save the victims of Gotham, this masked hero is posing seductively.

All You Need Is…

A new artist, that’s definitely what you need. Whoever drew this ill-fated tattoo didn’t do their faces any justice. It’s absolutely horrifying. Had it not been for the trademark we would not have known it was McCartney, Harrison, Lennon, and Starr.

The iconic cover of the Revolver album should invite conversation, but instead ,the only motivating force we feel is fear. And we would pull back from our appointment if it would lead to a lifelong scar as this. He can’t even see the damage because it’s on his back.

Fuel For Success

It looks like the haters, in fact, may have come out on top. We love that this expression defuses hate and criticism, but some people have skin types suited for ink. Best believe us, we are not judging based on jealousy or negativity. See for yourself.

Her skin is mottled up. It’s red and blotchy. Even from our seats, we can feel the bumpy texture. It could be due to the usual irritation right after getting inked, or she had sensitive skin to begin with. How about putting ice on those haters?

Caucasian Chieftain

He probably felt that dressing up his son in a war bonnet would make him look more breath-taking than he is, but this picture disproves it. Even his kid looks mortified with that headdress. When he’s older, that kid will definitely cringe to look back at his childhood self.

No one wants to be swaddled in an item that is reserved for Indian American chieftains. To do otherwise is a sign of disrespect for their culture, and for your child’s innate preferences. How about cloth, and his mother’s arms? Save his face for the baby photo album.

G-Strings

Well, that’s one sight we certainly didn’t need to come across t the store. Do you think that flirty tattoo goes below and under? Or does it stop somewhere near his tailbone? That’s another reason why we can’t look away from this tattoo.

It excites our imagination and equally repulses us. That patch of hair on his back isn’t doing him any good. Maybe he should have it shaved or waxed to fit the picture. Wonder what his significant other thinks of this artwork?

Comic Book Rival

We don’t know which Ryan he was referring to, Ryan Gosling or Ryan Reynolds? Because both Ryans don’t fit as a spider’s head, or body. The closest comic book rival we can associate this with is Doctor Octopus, aka Doctor Otto Octavius.

Unfortunately, he was played by Alfred Molina in Spider-Man 2. He’s a middle-aged man with a wide face all throughout, and he sports an Italian vibe. So how did Ryan morph into the grotesque picture? Who had the perverse idea to reimagine him as an arachnid?

Suckling Toddler

All we can say is yikes. If we were his mum, we would suggest bottled milk, or pacifiers in between. We wouldn’t want that tongue anywhere near us because we don’t know where it will wind up. What do you think?

It kind of looks like a sock wedged between his mouth but we are not really sure. Tongues do have slight webs, and papillae. Maybe that’s what those lines are. Next time, the artist should practice on paper and not on skin.

Stamp Of Disapproval

When anyone subjects himself to a tat, he ought to think of a really “cool” design, not a logo or icon that you can avail at a dollar store. That’s what those stamps are for. They come in colors beyond red and black, just in case he’s feeling bored.

It seems there is a loner on his left leg, a sad face in a throng of smileys. Maybe that’s symbolism right there? Too bad we can’t ask him why he chose this design, or we had even bothered getting inked. There are socks with this design.

Exorcism At Work

We would be absolutely gobsmacked by the uncanny similarity between the photograph and that inked area. We don’t think it could have improved if that picture were in color. It reminds us of Emily Rose, except that this was Emily prior to the possession.

Unlike an exorcism, this can’t be rid of with holy water, a bible, a hot foreign priest, and some incantations from a dead language. He would need an IV stand, some antibiotics and pain relievers, and an avowal never to enter that shop.

Nice Cut

Eyes at the back of his head, literally! Had we sat on a row behind him, we would look much like this man’s face. The only thing that’s realistic with this tat is that nose. It was shaded just right. It even looks like it was smudged with a lead pencil.

Second, nice haircut! Is he one of the recessive victims of male pattern balding? Or does he enjoy a hundred dollar cut to keep those eyebrows and moustache fleek? Whatever the reasoning, good luck trying not to have nightmares about this creepy tattoo.

The Howling

We feel sad for this customer. This artist had a wide canvass, and he maximized it. That’s twice or thrice the expense for having this tattoo removed. Have you ever seen a wolf so horrified? It’s supposed to exact the horror on others, not vice versa.

Maybe if he slims down, that artwork will finally show the menace that this werewolf is. You know, stretched skin and all? But that’s just wishful thinking. Chances are, in the not-so-distant future, that wolf’s mouth is going to get a lot wider.

New Fad

You know how it goes. The nerds were bullied for their braces, until straight teeth and dental hygiene became the norm. Being tall was a disadvantage because there’s a lot of surface area to be hit on, until stars like Cameron Diaz and Rene Russo made it appealing.

And finally, glasses were an inconvenience for jocks until Clark Kent used it as his disguise. It’s good that this guy used it as his cover-up. We would be embarrassed too for this life decision. Does he wear contact lenses to make up for functionality?

Rawr

Straight out of a children’s book, this monster pounces unto his skin. Rawr! Best hide behind those bushes, and hope that it is vegan. We’re giving him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it’s his kid’s drawing, and he wants to honor that.

For show-and-tell, his kid probably brought him what he had made for school. Admiring his son’s work of art, he had it drawn on his skin. Or not. Maybe it was a botched decision. He’s going to have to wear long sleeves if he wants to land a date.

Grammar Matters

No it won’t. If you can’t even get the comparative tense correct, then you won’t get the superlative right. It’s not going to get better. It is never going to get better. It should have been it is the worst.

And we would not have argued with you, sir. The ink man had even intended the contraction, but apparently the tattoo artist skipped English class. Anyone would have corrected the apostrophe when it dawned on them that the s belonged to the get. Get it? Get a refund!

Adam And Adam

This time, there is no blaming Eve. The serpent enticed Adam and had himself inked on this man’s skin. So far, this one of the wackiest tattoo designs we’ve come across. It looks so surreal that we can imagine just how rugged those scales are if we trace them with our fingers.

Unfortunately, you wouldn’t want to go in public like this. How could you sell yourself so short if you advertise that you are a cheat or a modern-day Judas. No woman would ever want to receive kisses on the cheek from you. Now begone, apostate!

Text You Later

Sometimes we feel we’re so addicted to our phones that it’s like they’re an extra limb on our bodies. As much as we love technology, texting and chatting, we’re not sure if we’d want to have a permanent reminder of our phones.

Couldn’t she just post a story on Instagram about the idea? Actually getting a tattoo of your mobile device is taking it a little bit far. Despite the concept, the outlines are perfectly lined! You can’t help but to give the artist kudos.

Showing Love

In what looks like an innocent gesture, the weirdness of the tattoo cannot still go unnoticed. This person appears to be expressing some innate affection to a partner, but it does not strike as such. What is evident here is that he did not take enough time to think it through before inking.

This picture is not entirely weak. It shows that it is not only about expressing your feelings. Think it through better and maybe find a better way to share your love and affection. We love the words but with the infinity symbol not so much…

Scare Them All Away

When you find someone who has a tattoo of a wild animal on them, they hope to look like a fierce person. But the silliest thing is when they are not only recognized as aggressive, but they begin to scare people away.

That is the case with having a scary tiger tattoo. This picture shows that even a tiger can get scared of another tiger’s photo. We get that they were perhaps going for a sort of Oriental style of representing this great beast, but it’s just not cutting it.

Die Hard Poet

You are allowed to go as deep as you want, as shallow as you wish, as weird as you want, and as dirty as you want with your tattoo. But, when you aim at being creative, you need to think it through again, especially when it affects getting your skin inked. 

This person decided to try his luck with these creative lines, and to turn them into something permanent. Unfortunately, it did not come out as such an appealing one in the end. We guess he has to give up his career of being a writer.

You Wish You Were!

We’ve met several excellent persons, especially in our social lives, who are simply awesome beyond all comparison. Most of them do not know how amazing they are and they wouldn’t even believe it if you told them. And then, there’s people like this.

We’re not entirely sure if this was in honor of someone or if it was some kind of dare. What is not palatable is when there is not even an iota of awesomeness in a person, but they want to feel like they are fantastic.

Failed Artist

You probably have seen some cute pictures of some people. In such cases, we would say, they captured their right side. Due to the rarity of such a person getting beautiful shots, the person in the picture had decided to get the shot tattooed on her skin. This tattoo artist is not an artist.

He could have done better with words, we guess. We sure hope that she didn’t throw a fit after seeing this. Remember the show on YouTube “How Far is Tattoo Far?” This right here is precisely an example of what counts as too far.

The Vigilant One

Nothing scares us quite like an intimidating stare, and this one is bound to make you uncomfortable too. Why, then, would anyone want to pass on as “the vigilant one”? Going on a journey with someone like this can never be usual.

You would have to stay wide awake throughout the journey. What we keep asking ourselves is why on earth, would anyone have decided to get such a scary tattoo? The person in the picture would have done better with his concept if he had only taken some time to think about it.  

Wrong Timing Wrong Lettering

The picture is a classic case of pulling just the right stunt to make things go wrong even when they were already half-baked from the get-go. The tattoo used to read “No Regrets”. But on the wrong timing, it twists the entire motive of the shot. 

It’s not just the fatal spelling error here that’s amusing to us; it’s the way tat the artist committed to his shoddy work. Just look at that fancy typeface and all the swirls around the letters — clearly he had no clue there was something that will need fixing.

Pray

How about she kneel and pray? This design is unflattering to say the least. Even Mary Magdalene would stand by the foot of the cross if only to pray for divine intervention the next time this girl has the idea to get herself branded.

Maybe she got inked on a Black Friday without Jesus in sight. Otherwise, he could have hopefully stepped in and saved her from that mess. It’s set too far apart and plunging too low to incite one to ruinous thoughts. Amen!

No Searching Stress

The frustration that comes with having to look for a missing belonging is not lovely at all. No matter what it is, you do not want to stress yourself that much. But this young man right here has saved himself that stress.

He does not have to search ever again. He has all he is looking for, since there is a spare one tattooed to his face. Where this gets weird is that it will shock most people to discover that what they have been staring at is nothing but a tattoo.

Jesus Saves

This is a tattoo that needs some saving. How about a little divine intervention? Because instead of looking like he’s deep in prayer and agonizing in the Garden of Gethsemane, this savior is calmly enjoying his crown of thorns (or is it lettuce?).

Maybe he should have stuck to a rosary bead tattoo. That seems easy to make. Just a couple of dots stringed along across his wrist. Dual purpose, too! It’s not just a design but it can help reaffirm a daily mantra.

How Well Do You Love The Song?

People find different means to express their love for a particular favorite track using tattoos. Some of them go as far as getting the lyrics of the song on their skins. Other persons ink out the name of the song and the artist of the hit song.

Whichever way, there should be a point where a line is drawn as to what is just plain dumb. Sometimes, these tattoos only reflect the extent of obsession and get less attractive. To save yourself from reaching such extremes, think it through before inking.

Chirping Dog

When we think of fictional characters, we envision them as having supernatural powers, or having a certain degree of prowess: archery, metallurgy, black magic. Much like centaurs, who are half-men, half-horses, this strangely mixed-up creature has got us plain baffled.

Whereas centaurs symbolize masculinity and chaos, we reckon this creature embodies loyalty and seasonal migration. It’s good that these creatures remain fictional because we wouldn’t know whether to tame them or hunt them down. We don’t want our peaceful mornings ruined by a gruff bark.

My Baby Means Everything

The bond parents share with their children when they are young cannot be compared with any other. They tend to show their love without restrictions. This proud parent was excited for his child’s birth. After all, in his mind, he thought that this was the best way to pay tribute.

Even if you have your kid tattooed on you, do well to avoid making your kid look this scary and fierce. We hope this child will look back and see that this was coming from a place of love. Might be hard to believe at first, but hey, it’ll be a memory forever etched in their hearts.

Grocery List

Which is worse? That the tattoo was from a list of food? Or that the choice was in a foreign language? You’ll agree that it is weird enough that the choice came from a menu. But it’s worse since it’s in a foreign language.

This guy should have thought about his tattoo idea much better. It was a bad choice to have it done in the first place. It boggles our mind to see that he didn’t even check the meaning of the word twice. We highly discourage you from adding foreign text to your body.

Doing Freddie Mercury Justice

Time has recorded the exploits of many great personalities, some in music, some in film making, some in technology. From this endless list of greats, most people would have some of them as idols. For us, we would choose Freddie Mercury over and over again.

The “Killer Queen” definitely had his way with rock and roll music. As much as we love him, getting a tattoo of him would be a pretty tough decision. Not because we aren’t great fans, but getting a tattoo artist to do justice to the face of Freddie requires some serious talent — not like this guy here.

Spelling Gone Wrong

The grammar Nazi in us is absolutely quaking. One of the biggest grammar mistakes is splayed out on this guy’s arm for everyone to see, for the rest of his life. Also, we’re unsure if he has a gun on him or a twig.

What’s more annoying is the fact that he used “your” instead of “you’re”. Perhaps he was drinking too much rum when he had this tattoo done? We don’t recommend drinking before getting inked, since it’s bound to thin out your blood.

Lost In The Galaxy

The concept of tattooing works this way. You get a design you love, a name with a font you like, a picture you love, or any other object of your desire. You then take it to the tattoo artist. And, request for replication with a close resemblance. Or, the artist can use his better judgment to finalize the drawing.

Sometimes, the result leaves you in confusion. A picture that intended to display the galaxy in its marvelous form turns out to make you feel even more lost in the multiverse. This tattoo is giving us a headache just looking at it.

Stitch Causes Nightmares

The makers of the Disney character Stitch had a lot of fun in mind when they created the characters Stitch and Lilo. We’re sure that giving kids nightmares was not on their list of characteristics they hoped for their new creations.

Whoever designed this abominable tattoo clearly thinks otherwise. Instead of looking all warm and appealing, Stitch will surely make kids flee in terror looking like this. He looks like he came from another planet aside from planet 626. Perhaps planet 62678967676?

Eminem Or M And M?

As confusing as the question above might sound, what exactly does the tattoo here suggest? Is this a tattoo of the famous rap superstar, Marshall Mathers (Eminem), or a mixture of Eminem and the candy with the same name? Why would they want this image to be permanently drawn on their flesh?

Eminem did not get his name from a candy. He got it from a merger of all of his names. Probably, the person with the tattoo had thought he got the name from the candy. That is the only reason anyone has to draw Eminem this way. It looks Eminem when he’s had too many blue Skittles.

Sea Creature Love

This young man could have gone on to get the tattoo of one of the popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. But, no! He had other ideas. For him, he would want nothing else but the real deal. After all, this tattoo isn’t bad at all. The placement, though, is ghastly.

He must love turtles a whole lot to keep this on his head. He could have tattooed this anywhere else on his body but he went for his head. Do you agree with the placement of this? We’re appalled but slightly intrigued by it.

Keeping It Real With The Trolls

Do not mix this up. By trolls, we do not mean social media trolls. We mean the real trolls from time past, the mythical figures, or more specifically, their little collectible toy counterparts. So, our friend here happens to have some strands of well-grown hair on his arm. He, therefore, decides not to sweat it.

He simply tattooed a picture of an actual troll. All that is left is the pink dye for the hair. We hope he gets to dye the hair. And that he does that as soon as he can. That’ll be the missing piece to this tattoo for sure.

Handling Terror With Euphemism

We all had an obsession with dinosaurs when we were kids, but some people in their lives just never graduate past that stage. And some people feel a need to immortalize that love for those prehistoric giant lizards on their very own skin.

There’s so many things wrong here that we don’t even know where to start. First of all, that sketch of a T-Rex is barely even passable. Second, maybe if you’d drawn him better, he wouldn’t need a crown to look stately. And lastly, is it leg day?

Taking A Dunk In Style

People must have enjoyed aiming a dig at this man because of his mole. Yet, it seems like it is not one thing he is worried about. Or he has just decided to take those digs in style. He has decided to make a ball out of his mole.

The slam dunk position of the tattoo is enough style to kill the trolls. As it is now, he has to go day by day with a basketballer having regular court sessions on his head. He could have made a different decision if he had considered it differently. We love his creative idea of making fun of body imperfections. Way to go!

Switching Gears Made Worse

Have you ever had a cause to move from one gear to another? It isn’t that easy, especially for people who can’t drive a stick shift. Why make your life more difficult by giving a wrong representation of the speeds? The tattoo could have done better justice if it was drawn right. 

This tattoo is something that will remain on you forever. Why then should you not do it right? It is not the best option to go around with a tattoo of the gear drawn incorrectly. You can only do this if you are up for a reckless driver. Either way, he can probably say it means something else. Nice try, dude!

Angelina “Jolly”

The love for your film idols can make you get a tattoo of them on your skin forever. A lot of people consider Angelina Jolie, a legend. Well, who doesn’t? Angelina has taken a lot of pictures on social media. You can get a lot of her photographs from her different social media platforms.

Which is why it’s surprising that the artist couldn’t pull up an image and copy it exactly. We’re kind of worried about Angelina’s lips in this ink, because they don’t do them justice at all. It kind of looks like she ate something sour. Hopefully, he gets a discount for a lasering tattoo service soon.

Not What I Ordered

Whenever you decide to ink some beautiful picture on your skin, be very sure that the artist helping you with your tattoo is competent, or else your tattoo will start looking like it’s a brain exploding — just like this tattoo.

He decided to give the image to his tattoo artist. But the result was not what he expected. The artist might have decided to add his blend to the nature-inspired work of art. But at the end of it all, the image looks like a shriveled up mushroom or even an exploding brain. What do you see?

Got The Benjamins?

Who on Earth has not seen the face on the hundred-dollar bill? Probably, the tattoo artist that had this picture drawn, that’s for sure. He must have lost tabs or failed to reconcile his mental image of Benjamin Franklin with his final product.

Benjamin Franklin is the face on the hundred-dollar bill, popularly known as one of the most iconic bills in history. A lot of work rests on the shoulder of whoever will have the tattoo drawn. Failure to execute the drawing to perfection could cost the whole idea its worth.

Lucky Socks

You can imagine the idea behind this person tattooing the lucky socks on his legs. The lucky socks are the socks used by golfers in the pattern of a diamond. Or they could be a reference to the Boston Red Sox. Take your pick.

This person inking the lucky socks on his legs would make sure he has no worries about searching for his lucky socks when going golfing. Yet, it seems like he would have some issues when he steps into the mall or another public place that is not the golf course. Well, these socks are perfect for the Christmas festivities. Maybe his stockings will score him more presents. Or a seat at a Boston Red Sox game.

Representing Your Sign

Sometimes all you want is to express your signature. To tell a bit more of yourself without necessarily talking. This person had gone to his tattoo artist to have a tattoo of an intricate crab. He had even gone through the stress of getting a perfect sample. But, the artist just had to disappoint him.

He must have had it in mind to flaunt his personality by showing off his signature with the crab tattoo. But it did not end as he had wished it would. The tattoo artist did not come any close to the picture.

Let’s Keep It Zipped

There are a lot of weird ideas cooking up in people’s heads these days. Take, for example, the idea of getting a skin suit on, then taking it off, and unveiling an alien from within. This tattoo can’t get any weirder than it already is.

This young man right here had a different idea. He either wants to keep it all zipped up, or he desires a literal skin suit. Whatever his reasons are, we hope he’s satisfied with the result. If not, he sure gets points for being creative.

Making The Headlines

To be fair, COVID-19 did make the headlines. This guy literally took it to heart (or to face?) by having that etched on his forehead. Was that to hide fine lines? And what puzzles us is that, there’s a Batman icon behind it.

Is he saying that even Gotham was infected by this pandemic? In the alternate universe, was this virus a bio-engineered weapon? Was Bruce Wayne able to limit the spread with a vaccine? How long did that take him? And what if we discover that it was in fact a pangolin, not a bat, that was responsible?

Could This Be What It Looks Like?

This creepy tattoo sends shivers down our spine. It looks like he crawled out of a Freddy Krueger movie. Why does it seem like this guy must have had a rough childhood? Either that or he’s a makeup or prosthetic artist by profession.

The pictures of these animals would look scary on anyone as a tattoo. Not to imagine when the pictures are poorly illustrated, or when they are made to look ambiguous. Then, they look like another animal or a mixture of two animals. Not your best wildlife love showcase.

Endless Possibilities

Let’s play a game. Imagine what this tattoo portrays. It’s not an amoeba or a colorful brain. It’s not an MRI scan nor is it a Rorschach inkblot. Your guesses are as infinite as a multi-verse galaxy. Yes, that’s what this is.

Had it been up to us, we would have simply tatted her whole chest black. Doesn’t the galaxy look pitch black from here? We would leave some specks of her skin bare to make up for the constellations and supernovas. Because the only thing that’s going to burning for a couple more days is her skin.

Spotted in Chi-Town

The city of Chicago is prominent for numerous things, including stunning architecture and deep-dish pizza. Now it seems we’re going to add this unfortunate fail to that list because it’s simply unforgettable. We hope this guy demanded a refund because we sure would!

South Side is a famous neighborhood in Windy City. For decades, it has been home to numerous accomplished individuals, including former president Barack Obama. As such, we get why this guy decided to get this tattoo. Unfortunately for him, he ran into an amateur.
