35+ Tattoo Fails – Try Not To Laugh At Them
Getting a tattoo is a big commitment for some people. Some even see it as a rite of passage when reaching a certain age or milestones in life.
But whatever your reason for getting inked is, be sure to think your decision through and not make the same mistakes these following people did.
You have got to see these!
#1 Roar?
Weâre betting this guy isnât too fond of taking his shirt off in public anymore after getting this majestic– uhm– letâs call it a tiger on his back. Imagine going through hours of pain just to turn around and see this in the mirror. Hopefully, he can get it covered with better work at some point.
#2 He ainât ainât gonna live forever
In case itâs not clear to some of us, this person doesnât care about what other people think about them. After all, itâs is their life. Someone really needs to start grammar checking their tattoo choices.
#3 A tattoo with meaning
We too respect this guyâs dedication and love for turkey sandwich as evident by his Chinese tattoo. Too bad he probably didnât know thatâs what his tattoo said when he got it. At least he can order a sandwich in Chinese now.
#4 Imitation is the greatest form of flattery?
Itâs not bad to take inspiration from other peopleâs tattoo especially if itâs as cool and well-done as the one on the left. Itâs a shame the tattoo artist went too far and copied the guyâs nipple as well. Oops?
#5 Abstract art?
Nope. Just a regular tattoo of a galaxy on a girlâs chest. We canât blame you for thinking otherwise though. That tattoo sure looks eerily similar to an infected brain. Seriously, it looks infected.
#6 Sex symbol
While this one doesnât look as bad as the previous ones, it really failed on recreating the beautiful Marilyn Monroe on human skin. So maybe just say itâs your girlfriend whenever people askâŚor a horror movie heroine.
#7 This was supposed to be stars
The intention behind this one was good. A constellation of stars tattooed on my chest? Yes, please. Unfortunately, hers ended up looking a bad set of rashes and ticks. Not a cute look.
#8 Believe in yourself
It seems that this personâs tattoo artist believed too much in his spelling skills and did not proofread the design before inking this hilarious misspell permanently on the skin. We hope the person didnât lose âhoopâ and was able to get it fixed up. Never lose hoop!
#9 Lost
Itâs amazing how this unfortunately misinformed design was able to make it through its owner and their artist without getting corrected. For this, we blame the faulty education system. That or its ânewsâ spelled in some sort of code.
#10 Dog tits
Dog tits. Yep. Thatâs it. Thatâs the concept. We have to admit this was pretty hilarious the first few minutes. But we remembered this was probably a permanent tattoo.
#11 The likeness is uncanny
Weâre as big an Angelina Jolie fan as any hot-blooded man but we definitely donât endorse this tattoo of her. In fairness though, they at least got her scowl right somewhat…okay not really. But if she ever does a horror movieâŚ
#12 A tribute to mom
Donât cheap out on tattoos folks! If you canât afford the best one, donât get one at all, especially if youâre trying to pay tribute to a loved one. Ask to see a portfolio of the artistâs other work before you get ink â seriously.
#13 Money talk…
Benjamin Franklin is probably rolling in his grave right now knowing someone tattooed this âlikenessâ of him on their skin. This one looks more like a burn victim than a respected Founding Father. Not sure what else to say about this oneâŚ
#14 Now nobody needs to ask anymore
Sure, people wonât badger you with questions asking if youâre vegan or not anymore…because they will definitely be asking why you decided to have your food choice tattooed on your face. At least itâs a conversation starter?
#15 Donât go to tattoo shops when wasted
Because your friends would definitely condone getting a tattoo similar to this angry Pikachu on this personâs thigh. But weâre not going lie, this is a great story to tell. We wonder if the tattoo artist had a few drinks as well.
#16 Give me something that says, âIâm fabulous but still fierce.â
…And thatâs how this tattoo came to be. What? People now know not to mess with this girl. She may look pretty and dainty like a flower, but sheâll claw you like a tiger.
#17 Give me something that says, âIâm fabulous but still fierceâ Version 2.0
Well, it seems like the tattoo artist finally got some more practice. So, when another customer came in demanding a fabulous but fierce tattoo, they gave her an improved version. We must say, this is an improvement…but not quite there yet.
#18 Something to cherish forever
Whatâs a better way to express your joy for your newborn than having their face tattooed on you forever? Paying for a better tattoo artist thatâs what. This tattoo would make any baby cry.
#19 American eagle
If this isnât the most American picture on the internet we donât know what is. That eagle, that single earring, that slightly curly mulletâŚWhatâs not to love? Other than that it now looks like he has a beak sticking out of his forehead.
#20 When itâs too hot to wear your favorite socks…
…get them tattooed on instead. Youâre probably shaking your head or laughing at this guy. But heâs not the one who canât wear his favorite socks just because itâs summer. Now, whose laughing?
#21 Can you guess who or what this is supposed to be?
Well, neither can we. Is it Frankensteinâs monster? The lion from The Wizard of Oz? Possessed Linda Blair from The Exorcist?
#22 3D abs
Why go to the gym when you get some 3D abs instead? We have to admit, this isnât the best of tattoos, but it definitely has waaay better dot art technique than that constellation one above. It also probably took less work at the gym.
#23 Thom Yorke would be proud
âIâm a creep. Iâm a weirdooo.â What can we say, this tattoo lives up to Radioheadâs most famous song. Still, this may be too out there for some.
#24 Sock or beaver?
We guess weâll never know. And to be honest, we really donât want to know. Looking at this tattoo and knowing it lives on the skin of an actual person is enough nightmare fuel for us. At least the eyes came out okay?
#25 Itâs the thought that counts?
According to a Reddit user, the tattoo on the right is a tattoo their momâs ex got after she passed away. Well, that tattoo artist sure needs to see an eye doctor because that woman on the left looks nothing like the man on the right. Maybe the artist got some images mixed up?
#26 A happy coincidence?
If you look more closely at this engagement photo, youâll see a rather unfortunate framing of the womanâs tattoo. We just hope that isnât a premonition to the future of their relationship. Hopefully, it says, âregret nothing.â
#27 Whatâs on the site vs what arrives
Too bad the original concept wasnât fulfilled. We guess thatâs what you get for skimping out on looking for an experienced tattoo artist to save a few bucks. The shape of Italy came out mostly okay, though.
#28 3D spider
Imagine being randomly slapped by a friend when they see this hyper-realistic spider on the side of your face? Can you blame them, though? They probably think theyâre saving his life.
#29 The crucifixion of Jesus
Whatâs a better way to profess your faith in Jesus than having him tattooed on your forearm? Paying for a better rendition, thatâs what. Is that a glowing red eye?
#30 The Lion King
Whatâs better than a lion? A lion with two mouths, it seems. Imagine sitting for hours of painful inking only to see this lion stare back at you in the mirror for the rest of your life. Think about the nightmares alone!
#31 Are these leopard prints? Or mini burgers?
Well whatever those are, at least the lady who got them seems to be proud of her new tattoo. If she can pull it off, who are we to judge? No seriously though, what are those?
#32 Three rules of life
Whatever/whoever familey is, this person definitely abides by it. This misspelling wouldnât be so bad if it wasnât paired with the squiggly font and uneven lettering. This one was clearly done freehand.
#33 Tinkerbell didnât age well
Tink should have probably listened to Peter and never left Neverland. It looks like time hasnât been too kind to her. Maybe a little (okay, a lot of) touch up would do her good?
#34 Why does this lady have Pinocchio’s arm?
Awful perspective drawing aside, why does this sailor lady have Pinocchioâs arms? Guipetto sure has some answering to do. Did he sacrifice Pinocchio to make a lady friend for himself?
#35 Saving the best for last
This is what you get when you ask your 7-year-old cousin who is obsessed with cartoons to sketch you a tattoo. Forever, indeed. At least itâs nostalgic?
#36 The Extreme Buzz
This guy wanted to make sure the line in his haircut never went away – well, at least he got what he was going for!
