33 Terrible Tattoos That Can Only Represent Regret

The best guess I've heard is that it's a demon whispering in this guy's here, but it could just as easily be Gollum or Dobby from the looks of things.

Unfortunately, we can neither ignore the fact that the angel's hands look like raisins, nor the fact that it looks like someone recently punched them in the face.

Call me crazy, but I don't think anyone who sees this tattoo is going to buy the "I'm just a Lynyrd Skynyrd fan" excuse.

Not only, but it has the odd side effect of making it seem incredibly smug about its predicament.

"Heh, I guess you can open the window before you stick your head out of it. Conformist..."

At the same time, it's hard to call anything "clear" about this tattoo. It seems like the Grim Reaper holding Jesus, but that's just an educated guess.

Instead, we have one that looks vaguely annoyed after somebody dropped a cartoon safe on its head.

If whoever uploaded this image hadn't helpfully informed us that it's supposed to be a skull, we'd have quite a mystery on our hands.

Actually making sure the letters are facing the right way was a good start, but the fact that it looks like it's melting probably wasn't intentional.

I suppose it's not impossible that the mind behind this one wanted it to look like something they would've sketched in their math book in third grade, but it's pretty unlikely.

Remember, folks: Always dream without ufear and zove without zimits. I can't stress enough that there should be no zimits to your zove.

It takes a special kind of "talent" to make what should be a pretty adorable animal into some kind of nightmare ghoul.

I can see how the concept might be hard to draw, but it's clear that things aren't working out when it starts to look like somebody grew mushrooms on a fruit roll-up.

I know Shrek is love and Shrek is life, but that really doesn't seem like the imagery this person was trying to invoke.

Namely, that you shouldn't punch the ground really hard or you might end up breaking your hand in several places like Mr. Warhammer here.

Otherwise, I don't think I ever would've figured out what I'm looking at here.

My best guess would've been a very angry rooster who decked himself out in armor before he and his wolf buddy went to war.

From the way these tentacles seem to change halfway through their creation to the fact that it's not really clear how the octopus is interacting with the clock, there appeared to be a point where they started panicking.

You'll also notice that earth is weirdly absent from the wreath that presumably surrounds it, but that's probably because the artist wanted to wait until the infection around Venus went away.

Apparently, this is Michael Jordan depicted as a skateboarding rat, but your guess is as good as mine when it comes to what those concepts have to do with each other.

Apparently, this wasn't even free-handed. They transferred a drawing first, which usually results in a better

The text isn't that bad, though "Beautiful" looks weird not filled in, but the...shape...isn't good.

It looks like an ugly coffee bean. Or a clam. Or, you know, a different part of female anatomy.

This tattoo "artist" really needs to work on their basic human anatomy and shading, because the shadows just make the weird features worse. Like, she doesn't have an Adam's apple, she has neck balls.

This is almost cute, except that the drawing doesn't feel stylized so much as just plan bad. And the coloring is really rough too.

Heavy Metal Jesus doesn't appreciate being confused for a White Walker. Because before I read the description for this one, I thought the overly-dark character was the Night King.

Why does this octopus have a face straight out of Thomas the Tank Engine?

Though, I think it may actually be a sextapus, because those definitely look like bunny ears.

This guy tried to tattoo himself in a mirror. I don't even know what he was trying to make it look like, but it's safe to say that he failed.

Like, if the thumb is where I think it is, the pinky is huge and so is the ring finger. And then you have a nubbin and a super short index finger. I'd insist on a refund.

This "beer belly" looks like what an underage deadbeat doodles in their math notebook during after school detention.

Besides the wonky face and oddly large hands, why does it look like it was colored in with dried out Crayola markers found in the bottom of a knapsack?

Because an infant making this sounds more likely than a professional. The heels look like hooves and there are only four toes on each "foot".

I guess it's true when they say that you get what you paid for. I know it's incomplete, but I'm not sure there's much that could improve it.

Freddie Mercury and AC/DC certainly made their impacts on the music world, but I don't recall them teaming up like some kind of rock n' roll Avengers.

I'm not sure what's scarier: those insane eyes or the lump of flesh I'm assuming is supposed to be the child's fist.

It appears that she was trying to go for a leopard spot look here, but it just looks like an unfortunate skin condition at first glance.
