We all love getting tattoos. This means you can try endless designs and ideas for some part of your skin. Not all tattoo artists are the same, or possess the same skill. Therefore, when you get one without a lot of experience, you may end up with a bad tattoo. So, let’s see a few of these same people who suffered with these horrible tattoos in their own flesh…
Scary!
What’s scarier than seeing a face tattooed on the back of a head? Can you imagine sitting behind this gentleman on a flight with ‘his face’ staring at you forever?
Flying isn’t scary enough as it is, and now he’s doing that too! We can’t know what was going through his head to do that. He probably thought it would be funny. Do you really think so? Honestly, we don’t.
The latest fashion craze
Many of us like to dress fashionably, and if we are one of those who pay attention to that, we can not ignore the recognized brands that are part of this world.
The latest fashion crazeConverse is one of them, and boy does it have fans far and wide. The problem is that this predilection on the part of consumers usually brings with it an increase in product prices, so not everyone can afford these sneakers. We guess this is what happened to the person in this photo. He had no choice but to get them tattooed….
A work of art
Here we have a true work of art, because it not only involves a neat execution with the ink, but here we see applied an important dose of creativity. This tattoo artist certainly does not lack creativity.
His brilliant mind found a way to make good use of that abundant hair on that particular part of the arm. The magnificent result is plain to see. He will never have to shave that part of his body ever again…mmm on second thought, it seems a bit grotesque to us.
The most fan of them all
Quite possibly we are here in front of the first fan of the minions, and that led him to get this tattoo on his leg. Honestly, we must say that the drawing is quite well done, presenting no differences with the image we all have in our minds of these little yellow friends.
What strikes us a bit is the area of the body chosen. Isn’t it strange that he chose to do it on that part of the leg? We hope she lives in an area where it’s not too cold, so she can show it off without inconvenience.
Failed Harry Potter tribute
Surely the boy in the photo is a diehard Harry Potter fan, which is why it crossed his mind to wear that tattoo on his forehead, the mythical lightning bolt that the fictional character wears on his forehead as a reminder of his greatest villain (whom we can’t name).
The problem is that, unlike Harry, this man is tattooed with a much larger, and quite different lightning bolt than the famous wizard’s. And to top it all off, it’s right there for all to see!
Scary (Part Two)
Did it become a fashion to tattoo a face, or part of one, on the back of the body? As if we had not had enough with the previous image, here we can appreciate a creepy pair of eyes stalking anyone who stands at his back.
The message he sends leaves no room for doubt: “I’m watching you so watch what you do”. Sounds like a threat to us. Be that as it may, it’s clear that it’s not exactly one of the best tattoos we’ve ever seen….
All wrong!
It’s unclear if this was the responsibility of whoever did the tattoo or whoever received it, but clearly someone fell asleep during school grammar classes.
The errors are beastly! Surely you know that this is the title of a very well known song in English called “It’s my life”, the problem is that here they wrote repeated “it’s, is”. But that’s not all, the worst, and funniest, is the name of the singer “Jon Bon Jovi”, which here they ended up renamed as ‘Jon Bovi’.
So that no one forgets me
It occurs to us that this person walked into the tattoo site and said, “Make me something that so that whoever comes across me will never forget me.”
On the one hand, this tattoo has its poetic side, as if it will always rise from the ashes like the phoenix. But the truth is that the result does not seem to be in tune with what we believe this man asked for. Will he be satisfied? As they say: “There’s no accounting for taste”… or maybe there is?
The most beautiful of them all
Many would agree that Marilyn Monroe was one of the most beautiful women of all time. Of course that opinion is based on the appearance of Marilyn that we all know, like the one we can see in the image, not so on the tattoo. Because of course, if we were to value the beauty of the mythical actress by how the tattoo looked, probably not many would agree that she was an attractive woman.
Honestly, any child could have drawn a more accurate copy of her face.
An ‘almost’ divine message
We imagine that the wearer of this tattoo intended to send a divine message of protection heavenward. Only there seems to have been a little problem with it, so we’re not sure if it was well received by the recipient.
It happened that instead of ‘protect me’, the tattoo artist wrote ‘protect me’, a horrendous grammatical error that hurts our eyes. A pity because the rest of the image looks well done.
Simple message
It is common when thinking about a tattoo, to opt for something deep, sometimes including some kind of hidden message, something with a particular meaning that only the wearer manages to understand in its entirety. It may be a loved one, a phrase, a symbol or a number, those are usually the most common choices.
In this case they chose a chair. We can’t think of what might be behind this tattoo, but it certainly makes us very curious. We think everyone who sees it will ask you why you drew a chair.
Nobody is perfect
Of course, nobody is perfect, especially the person who when tattooing that phrase ended up writing ‘nadien’ instead of nadie. You’ll think it’s a shame, especially considering all the work that must have gone into making it colorful and pretty, only to make such a mistake.
But it’s not like that folks! This mistake was intentional and symbolizes that perfection is not within anyone’s reach. But I’m sure many reading it will interpret that the bearer ruined his arm with a poorly worded message.
Ugly is little
If this person’s goal was to get a hideous tattoo, he has more than succeeded. It seems strange to us that this was the goal, but we find it hard to find any other explanation for this tattoo of a centipede so large and so visible on this man’s face.
If he wears it proudly, we really don’t understand what will go through his head. We would be sorry to make that choice. Well, we are for his in this case. Are you?
A bad idea
Can anyone feel like getting a tattoo of a huge rooster taking up practically the entire back? Well, it looks like the person in this photo was in the mood for just that.
We don’t think it’s a very popular choice, but everyone is free to choose. Yes we will admit that the drawing is well done, attention to detail has been paid. But we would like to know what was the purpose of getting that tattooed, will you proudly display your tattoo when you go to the beach?
Scary! Episode III
Well, in case you didn’t have enough with the original version and its sequel, here’s the third episode of this “saga”, which seems to get better with each installment.
Not only is the drawing scary already, but the wearer’s hair cropped just to make room for the tattoo makes that face look even worse. It seems to us that the only solution here is to let all the hair grow long. Enough to never have to see this tattoo ever again.
Nothing is missing
This boy has opted for a varied combination of figures, objects and texts to adorn his face and body. In the end, he ends up being like a wall in some recondite part of the city where street artists come to do their graffiti.
Honestly we are not convinced by this “approach”, but as we said, everyone is free to choose. Of course, being a living wall of messages, you shouldn’t be alarmed if everyone stares at you when you walk down the street.
The evil goblin
Goblins are usually a symbol of goodness, full of magic and good energy, not for nothing many people choose to put statues of goblins in their gardens. Now, this particular leprechaun looks more like a horror movie character.
The expression on his face is scary, those empty eyes, the shape of his mouth and the shaded effect don’t exactly make this a sympathetic goblin. In fact, it makes us rethink whether we really like goblins.
Making the most of your hairstyle
For many people going bald is traumatic. But clearly not for everyone. This gentleman, for example, decided to take it with humor, resorting to a tattoo that took advantage of the context.
A little man was then drawn pruning exactly at his hairline. It gives the feeling that the clipper has already gone through all the spaces on the head where there is no more hair. Without a doubt this one takes the prize for the funniest tattoo on the list.
Creepy portrait
Sometimes people turn to tattoos as a way to have a representation of someone we want to remember forever and always carry with us on our own skin. Unfortunately, the idea doesn’t always end up impacting in practice the way we would have imagined.
It looks like this person wanted to portray her daughter’s angel face but ended up with a smile that would make even the devil’s own hair stand on end.
Imagination without limits
We do not know if it was a product of a challenge or by choice, it was that this boy ended up tattooing nothing more and nothing less than a gardener who seems to be pruning the hairs that fall from his armpit.
Possibly not the most pleasant tattoo to see for people who do not like hair, although we can not fail to mention that it is certainly something creative and original, so we must give it merit. This kind of idea doesn’t occur to just anyone.
A mutant cat?
We have already mentioned it but we repeat it: about tastes there is nothing written. This guy seems to have a predilection for cats, but not the ones we all know, those with a pair of eyes, you know. No. He likes expenses with 15 eyes spread all over the body, 5 ears on the head and 2 more on the back, 2 mouths and at least 6 tails.
We don’t really know what happened here. If the tattoo artist didn’t have the skill this guy thought he would or if he just wanted a cat that had fallen victim to radioactive substances.
Are those my pups?
Those who have pets usually feel something very special for them, so it’s no wonder that some people want to get tattoos of their little faces or something that will always remind them of them.
This person had the idea to get her 3 puppies tattooed on the same tattoo. But the idea didn’t turn out as he expected: when he saw how it turned out, he himself was not able to recognize the drawings of his little ones. Someone overestimated the tattoo artist’s ability and the experience ended in disaster.
There’s a rat on your foot
While most people prefer to stay as far away from rats as possible, either because they are repulsed by them, because of possible disease transmission, etc., this person preferred to tattoo the image of a huge rodent all over his foot.
Beyond the fact that the choice of the tattoo is very strange, it must also be recognized that the drawing looked particularly bad. It doesn’t present too much detail, you can barely recognize the shape of the animal, and in general terms we could say that it looks like a child’s drawing.
Timon and Pumba are you?
We all know the legendary Timon and Pumba. They are arguably some of Disney’s most iconic characters. This seems to be what they look like in the eyes of this tattoo artist.
We don’t know if he did his job under the influence of some dubious substance or if he engaged in malpractice. If it wasn’t for the phrase “Hakuna Matata” we wouldn’t have realized that it was indeed them, it looks like they were hit by a car.
Creepy Portrait, Chapter II
It seems that bad portraits are commonplace when it comes to applying them to tattoos. And of course, it’s not a simple task, there are a variety of things that can go wrong, especially if they are done by someone who doesn’t have a lot of experience. Here we have the case of a father proud of his baby wanted to make a portrait of the little one.
The downside is that the end result is scarier than finding Chucky in a house alone in the middle of the night. The image of a cuddly baby was transformed into a truly creepy image.
Bob Marley?
Here we see what was left when this person asked to get a tattoo of the legendary Bob Marley. It looks like he had undergone multiple cosmetic surgeries, and not exactly with a good doctor.
A misshapen nose and lack of hair filler are some of the things that are wrong with this work. Once again, it looks like a child would have done this drawing instead of a professional tattoo artist. The result was far from what the client was expecting.
Originality award
As we have already mentioned, it is very common for tattoos to have a special meaning for those who get them. In this case, it is a real puzzlement what led this person to tattoo a shopping bag with what would appear to be the logo of the supermarket chain Day.
Is she a fan of this chain store? Or grocery shopping? Will she have worked at or own a store? We bet there are very few similar tattoos in the world.
Taking things with humor
If you had found the case of the bald man with the lawnmower tattoo comical, you’ll love this one. This person suffers from a genetic condition called Syndactyly, which causes 2 of his toes to basically be stuck together.
Well, laughing at this situation the girl tattooed a dotted line with a pair of scissors, as if to say “Cut here”. Probably not the most complex or deep tattoo we’ve ever seen, but we must recognize her sense of humor.
What happened to this lion?
This person is clearly a fan of lions, but we think that after seeing how the tattoo he had ordered turned out, he must have been scared to death, and not for nothing.
The lion’s mouth and mane were acceptable, but we don’t understand what the artist was thinking when he drew those eyes that give this lion an extremely strange facial expression. We bet the client should have gone to another tattoo artist in order to repair the damage, and not be burdened with this attempt at a lion for the rest of his life.
The strangest tattoo
This list has had no shortage of bizarre examples, but none is as bizarre as this drawing of a dirty toilet with a water tank included.
Sure, it would take a prize for originality surely, or the ordinary. We wonder what would have led the wearer of this tattoo to ask for this to carry with him forever on his leg. Although on second thought, we’d rather not know the answer.
No, life is not “easy”
Here’s another case of someone who will have to resort to a second session to repair the damage to his tattoo.
We don’t know if it was their mistake, their tattoo artist’s mistake, or possibly both, but that life wasn’t easy was evident when they mistakenly ended up spelling “easy” the wrong way. Can you imagine having to carry a spelling mistake tattooed on you for the rest of your life? That must not be easy.
Crocodile skin
We all wish we had crocodile skin, right? No, we really wouldn’t. Except, of course, for the protagonist of this image. His choice of tattoo is certainly eye-catching but it doesn’t inspire us or cause us admiration.
In its favor we’ll say that it really creates an optimal effect that makes us look twice. But we definitely don’t like it. We hope this person was happy with their result.
A zero in ‘grammar’
For those who speak or learn English, we also have this ‘little pearl’. Just as it happened in Spanish before, there is no shortage of cases of those who make grammatical mistakes in this other language.
In this image, we see someone who wanted to get a tattoo of the phrase “no regrets” which means he has no regrets. But poor wording has left in its place “no regerts” which completely ruins the purpose of having these words written on the arm. an egregious failure!
I want to be a chessboard
We don’t quite understand this person’s purpose when he chose this tattoo that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. It appeared to be a chessboard along the entire surface of his face.
Will it be possible to play a game on it? Will there be some hidden meaning behind this piece that we don’t quite understand? Or maybe the man just didn’t know what he was doing and didn’t contemplate the consequences. We bet he’s not without being the target of all kinds of stares as he walks down the street.
Unconditional love
One of two: either it’s a case of unconditional love or simple human stupidity. But for some reason this girl decided to get her idol tattooed on her cheek as a token of adoration.
It’s not uncommon to make a variety of mistakes during adolescence, you’ll probably have to deal with making amends when you’re older. Will you still like him in the future? In case you haven’t been able to figure it out yet, it’s One Direction’s Harry Styles.
The M&M Eminem
Another case of someone opting to get their idol tattooed somewhere on their body. Although in this case the wearer was a little more discreet in the choice of the place, the meaning is not clear to us.
Yes, we get that it’s a tribute to rapper Eminem, but for some strange reason it’s blue. Could it be that he couldn’t decide between his love for Eminem and the M&M? “OK, then I’ll get both tattooed on the same drawing,” he must have thought.
Tinkerbell in Neverland
You thought the movie ‘Come Away’ was the first fusion of Tinkerbell and Peter Pan, you were wrong, the tattoo artist of this image surpassed director Brenda Chapman with his ingenuity, the only detail is that his result does not seem suitable for children.
The original idea is unknown. Perhaps the client just wanted a magical fairy or requested a fusion of the movies, what is certain is that, the designer got lost in ‘Neverland’.
The smiling chest
At least we know it’s a happy breast. Far from looking sultry, that chest tattoo looks like a joke played on him by the tattoo artist when the tattoo’s owner was sleeping.
The first time this person took off their shirt in front of their significant other or the first time they went to the beach must have been iconic. If your goal is to make people laugh, it’s a success, otherwise your little charro presents a challenge.
The Arachnid Ryan Gosling
This person must have seen a different version of ‘Spider-Man’ than the ones we know. Maybe it’s a time traveler and Ryan Gosling will become the spider-man when he’s old. In any case, this is a strange way to promote it.
The tattoo artist of this image probably received a photograph that wasn’t of the actor (at least we want to believe so), otherwise, he deformed the actor’s face completely what was he thinking?
The “homage” to Jon Snow
No, this is not Johnny Depp 20 years older. As unbelievable as it sounds, this is Kit Harington supposedly as ‘Game of Thrones’ Jon Snow.
The joke tells itself. The profile, the hair, lips, clothes, sword, is that even the ‘snowflakes’ don’t look real. The client must have been chilled when he saw this work and not exactly because of the end of the series but for having to carry that tattoo everywhere.
