One of the things I’m grateful for in life is that I never made a poor tattoo gaffe. After all, once you get inked, it’s pretty much permanent unless you’re willing to suffer through getting that masterpiece lasered off.
Unfortunately for these people here, they acted quicker than they were thinking and got stuck with these bad decisions. Check them out and weep.
1. This Total Masterpiece

Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have uncovered a true masterpiece here. I have no idea what the artist was going for in this piece, but it’s definitely confusing, to say the least. How do you like that one?
2. This Weird Font Choice

Speaking of people who like to tattoo messages on their bodies. I can’t stress enough how important it is to pick the correct font. This guy chose the weirdest one, and now his arm says, “We We People.”
3. This Badly Drawn Wolf

I would be hard-pressed to guess what kind of animal this is. I guess it’s some kind of a wolf, eh? Either way, whoever drew this mess needs to be ashamed of themselves. I wouldn’t put this on my arm. No, sir.
4. This Unfortunate Sports Fan

I can appreciate people who are really into sports. That’s definitely some kind of devotion. However, one thing I would never do is to show my team spirit with a tattoo, especially one as bad as this one, lol.
5. This Creepy Eye

Let me ask you something: What is it with people who get eyes tattooed on the back of their heads? Is it some kind of message they’re sending to the rest of us? Like I’m watching you, man. It’s creepy AF!
6. This Absolute Disaster

OMG! I don’t even know where to start to point out everything wrong with this tattoo. First of all, the faces here are totally warped, and the shading on the bottom one is completely off, no?
7. This Dark Side Of The Moon

Fans of Pink Floyd should recognize this symbol here. Granted, it does look quite different. Shockingly, this tattoo artist couldn’t even get their lines straight. Here’s hoping the next one turns out better.
8. This Foot Mistake

I’ve always wanted to get a celestial tattoo. Perhaps a sun and moon, but I don’t think this person thought their decision through all that well. It’s a pretty confusing interpretation of the sun. Isn’t it, huh?
9. This Handsome Couple

Photo-realistic tattoos are all the rage these days, and what’s not to like about them, eh? If a tattoo artist can recreate a special moment in your life, it’s pretty amazing, no? This isn’t one of those instances, though.
10. This Ode To Metallica

Metallica fans are a passionate bunch. Am I right or what? So I’m surprised this guy let the tattoo artist butcher his arm like this, ha, ha! He definitely didn’t nail this one. I would ask for my money back.
11. This Back Piece

Yes, let’s throw a big tattoo piece right on your back. I bet this person was like, “Yes, please.” I just wonder if they were as excited about this tattoo job here once they saw the finished product. I wouldn’t be.
12. This Important Message

I don’t know if I have to tell you that you should always listen to the advice from your mom. This guy definitely didn’t, and now he’s got a gem like this on his arm. Good going, man.
13. This Odd-Looking Hand

So, get this apparently, this tattoo was done by a well-known and respected artist. I mean, what? What were they thinking? I’ve never seen fingers that look like these. Is this supposed to be some kind of artist’s interpretation?
What did I tell you?
Deciding to get a tattoo shouldn’t be taken lightly. There is so much to consider before you embark on this endeavor. First, you need to pick the right design and then an artist who can nail it. Needless to say, that didn’t happen here.
Have you ever made a poor judgment call like this before?
