Like all the fine folks who — inexplicably — thought it would be a good idea to permanently brand themselves in spectacularly horrific fashion, this guy thought their idea for a math equation was pretty cool. Sadly, it was not cool and it took up so much real estate on their arm!
We assume most of you know the meaning behind the bottom number, but the top number’s meaning could be lost on some. For them, we will clarify that this is a number identified with those who like to dabble with Mary Jane. Anyone with those numbers on their dating app profile will be immediately swiped left. Too bad it can’t be done in real life too.
Peekachu
It's your body and you absolutely should have the final say on whether you're going to get a tattoo of Pikachu, but this Pikachu must have been injured as he's left with an eye patch, so we've decided it's "Peekachu." Seriously, before you get a tattoo of any kind, make sure that your tattoo artist has some experience.
There are always going to be those people who think they're good at drawing and can give you a quick tattoo at home with a needle and some ink from a craft store. You'll only end up with a tattoo that looks like a child's drawing and a painful infection to boot.
He's Finally Emerged From His Cocoon
Everyone should have the chance to look their best. This worker has done his best, channeling the power of the butterfly with a classy lower back tattoo. The iconic Mariah Carey-esque tattoo plus, the oh-so-common loose pants that contractors seem to always wear, shows us this unfortunate choice in all of its... detail. Fly, butterfly, fly.
Butterfly tattoos were super popular in the early 2000s, along with tribal tattoos and Asian letters. Everyone was getting them, but unfortunately, trends don't stay trendy. So not only does this tattoo look incredibly dated and behind the times, but it's also very telling of his age.
Nine Attempts and Still Not Good
We can't hide the fact that we feel at least a little bit of enjoyment in the misfortune of other people. Schadenfreude has, after all, been a bona fide phenomenon since people have been embarrassing themselves (so, forever). But it's always a little bit better when people brought the hilarious misfortune upon themselves.
Like this person, the tattoo artist had nine attempts at drawing a circle and somehow failed every single time. You'd think that after one or two tries, they'd give up but no, that was not the case. This was probably meant to resemble the crescent moon as it waxes and wanes but this artwork doesn't even come close.
Still Acting Like a Monkey
People have no problem walking into a tattoo parlor and blindly picking a design that looks cool. But, for some reason, coming up with your own tattoo design seems like such an intimidating endeavor, and sadly, that kind of intimidation leads to terrible decisions. Like getting this evolutionary drawing on this arm.
Darwin may approve, but that might be all. At first glance, you don't really see the problem in this outline of "Evolution of Man", and then you realize that a silhouette may not have been the best choice for this design. Why? Because the hand of the man on the right looks less like a hand and more like a... let's cal lit a piece of bodily equipment.
