Really Bad Tattoos

I don't have any tattoos and I don't plan on getting any in the near future or at any time for that matter. I have nothing against tattoos or people that have them I just have never heard a plausible argument as to why to get one. If I really really like a piece of art I would hang it on my wall or if I had an uncontrollable desire to show the piece of art to the world I would put it on a t-shirt that way when I inevitably get sick of looking at it I can either take it off the wall or give it to a thrift store.

Anyway here are some tattoos that completely boggle my mind. I really can't fathom why anyone would get these things permanently put on their bodies.





Clay Aiken and Linkin Park 2 very different acts which actually have a lot in common. They are both popular now who knows what catalogue of music they are going to release over the next 20 years. What if they release some of the most gut retchingly horrible music that you've ever heard and you've already decided on commit them to your body for life.


I think that's the picture you're supposed to take out of the frame.




Food Tattoos???? Seriously What the Fuck??? Even if you loved hamburgers more than anything on earth and ate nothing but for the rest of your life why would you get a tattoo of one? The naked Indian girl grabbing on to a pogo stick is bizarre but I can understand it a lot more than a fucking hamburger at sunset beside what looks to be a palm tree. As for the guy who decided to get a whole plate of breakfast tattooed on his head I really have nothing to say.

*Update: Due to the many comments I am now aware that the hamburger tattoo refers to a Jimmy Buffet song, but that doesn't make it any less bad.

**Update 2: In Canada corn dogs are called pogo sticks.




If you're old enough to get a tattoo then you're too old to be a fan of Harry Potter. And If you're going to get a Star Wars tattoo why the fuck would you get anything to do with episode 1 on it.


Not that this is a bad tattoo (a bad life decision maybe) but I just wonder what this guy does for a living. I like to think he's a bank teller.


Holy shit this is getting out of hand. This guy decided to cover his whole leg with a joke that not only isn't funny now but will be completely irrelevant in a few years. If history has taught us anything its that Michael Jackson will not look the same in 5, 10 or especially 20 years and by that point no one will remember the movie Home Alone so this guy will be walking around with an extremely creepy and strange tattoo that he will have to explain (if anyone is willing to talk to him).


This takes the cake. If you didn't hear this woman auctioned off the space on her forehead on Ebay the highest bidder was goldenpalace.com. They paid her $10,000 to tattoo their url on her forehead. Apparently she wanted to money to send her kid to private school because the kids grades were slipping. That seems like a noble cause but what the fuck. Get a fucking loan. Pay 18% interest if you have to but don't sell you're fucking face like a billboard. Apparently the staff at the tattoo parlor spent 7 hours trying to talk her out of it. I think she should have listened, the internet as we know it (.com url's etc) most likely wont exist in a few years but a forehead tattoo will last a lifetime.

    I want to say that I read somewhere that the Breakfast tattoo on the guys head was a sort of contest or something.

    I'm trying to find something to back it up but so far no luck.

    Why is it that the people talking trash about people with tattoos don't have one. I have 6, with the most recent one being added a few days ago. And I don't regret any of them. All of my tattoos have meaning behind them. None of them are as crazy as the crap on here. What were these people thinking? And as for the narration. I love it. Thanks for the smile. People that don't like the narration are free to change internet pages.

    The clay aiken (if I spelt that wrong, sorry), isn't badly done, the tattooist obviously knew what he was doing. But I agree getting it was a stupid idea.

    Damn! There are some really bad tattoos out there. Sometimes it the client and sometimes its the tattoo artists. There's just no accounting for taste. Here's a few more to look at. http://www.behindtheink.com

    These tattoos are funny. I'm about to get my very first tattoo, and I've been thinking about it for a very long time. Some of the comments on here are absouletly ridiculous and some actually make sense. These pictures were probably put up here for a laugh, and that's what the overwhelming response was. If you're going to try to act hardcore with the keyboard, then maybe you should go take a pill or something. I'm going with my mom to get a tattoo representing my life. I'm about to go to college and I want to get a tattoo that represents the changes that have occured in my life up until now. So, to wrap this sort of pointless comment, I think that tattoos are great. If you don't like them and think that a person's body is god's temple, then so be it. Those of us who are, or plan to, get a tattoo will all enjoy our art in Hell.




    By the way, I'm only seventeen and I can type better than most of the people on here.
    Oh, and if someone decides to criticize (Okay, I'll admit that I can't spell that. And I definitely don't feel like looking it up just to post it in a comment)my decision to get a tattoo at seventeen, go ahead. I'm good at taking low blows from people who probably can't spell. Ciao.

    What's the blog author's problem? Some tattoos are shabbily done, but some are actually pretty impressive. Is he trying to judge the artwork? If he is, he's not qualified. His tattoo knowledge is zilch. If he has a problem with people having tattoos, well, ignore him. He's pretty shallow.

    People who need to tell others what tattoos they dislike really have issues and could spend their time thinking of a better article to get their blog going.

    OK for the record Corn Dogs are called Corn Dogs in Canada, Pogo is merely a brand name.

    Ok, I agree that that Harry Potter tattoo is really badly done, but no one is EVER too old to be a fan of Harry Potter.

    Let us forget how insignificant and worthless we are, for a moment, by projecting our negative feelings onto other people. We can justify this by deeming these people as inferior.

    Man, people are stupid! Except me of course, I'm special.

  30. Ok...Linkin Park is not a bad band, I could see you saying something about the Clay Akin tattoo. But it's messed up for you to sit there and say something about a band that is really great and has been around for a long time. Also your going off on all of these to feel like your on a high horse and that's getting you no were not to mention the fact that if your going to rant and rave and say all kinds of things about peoples tattoos and what they look like and how band they are you should really be an ADULT about it all and look into MORE information ABOUT the tattoo before saying anything. I'm a critic about alot of things but I'm at least smart enough to make sure I have my information correct before opening my mouth.

  31. oh and on the top side to it all...learn to spell right. RETCHINGLY isn't a word. And Also."...already decided on commit them..." doesn't make any since in a sentence. It doesn't matter what they make in the future if you already like the stuff they make now.
