We don’t know what’s going on here, but it sure makes a good case for not getting a tattoo! Honestly, we’d like to think that branding your arm permanently would make you at least a little more mindful when it comes to choosing your design or even hiring a skilled artist to do your tattoo.
Somehow this guy couldn’t get either. The artist couldn’t even get one feature right. From the ear to the nose, the design barely looks like a person! Plus the ink looks faded but at least that would make it easy to cover up with another tattoo, as long as he can get a decent artist to do it next time.
Bad Cover-Up
Some people just don't learn from their mistakes. Look, we might not be tattoo artists by trade, but we're fairly certain that that's not how cover-ups are supposed to be done. First of all, the coloring is all wrong, and second, the previous tattoo is still clearly visible underneath the grey wolf.
To be honest, we're feeling so bad for this guy... He must have been so excited to get it covered up and looking a bit better and somehow he ended up with this instead. It might still be salvageable if he could find a better tattoo artist for his third attempt.
Calvin Should Sue
Scroll through Instagram and get a load of all the tattooing mistakes: from typos to messy lines, but we bet you've never encountered anything this unbelievably bad. We bet this guy thought he was being really original when he got this. Well, maybe he's the only one because it's such a bad idea.
Not only is this tattoo poorly executed, but it also looks like this guy was ripped off. The underwear almost looks like a hairy patch that certainly won't age well. Out of all the tattoos we've seen, this has to be one of the worst, and that's really saying something cause we've seen a lot!
She Knows What It Means
The miss loves Africa, good for her. She's even got a heart of Africa there. And the incredibly meaningful phrase lets us know she isn't what you might call entirely altruistic in her love. But we shouldn't spread rumors, maybe she just enjoys the long stretches of thrilling scenery, the wide rivers, and the throbbing hearts of the people she's met.
It's a quintessential tattoo: a popular expression that's immeasurably cliche. When white people say this, they think it's a compliment, but if you deconstruct this further, you’ll realize that nothing is flattering about it. It defines an entire group of people and pigeonholing people can rob them of the many layers of their identities.
Warning Label
According to the post on Reddit.com, this guy ordered a tattoo machine from China. With so many low-quality or counterfeit products on the market, it's safe to say that this product doesn't function properly. Who knows, maybe it was a good deal and this guy felt like it could be a good buy.
Clearly, it was not. Never mind the fact that the tattoo looks like a messy drawing that's been done with a dried-out marker, it could potentially cause an infection. We can't help but wonder what this was supposed to be besides a black mess. Maybe just a black square that wasn't executed well?
