Oh, dear. You look like you could use a nice cup of tea and a good hug. But, you know, in retrospect. As in before you went and had that thing put on your forehead. The piercings and hairdo are all reversible in case this lady changes her mind. But the ink? Oh, that’s a different story.
First and foremost, getting a tattoo on your forehead is incredibly risky and while tattoos in general have become more mainstream in recent years, those on the face are often still associated with deviance or a lack of professionalism. So before you get one, just remember it’s important to consider the long-term effects.
Spider-Man
We're going to give you one chance to guess who this guy's favorite superhero is. In fact, he must have become so obsessed with finding a radioactive spider of his own that he decided to get one tattooed. Too bad he got it on his face, though, that will be difficult to cover up.
Hey, look at the bright side — at least you don't have to come up with a new Halloween costume every year! At least one day of every year he'll fit right in and look like he has an amazing spider painted on his face. The rest of the year, it won't be so cute though and he'll have to explain that it's actually a tattoo.
The Plugs of the Middle Ages
Once upon a time, men with receding hairlines had to either accept the fact they were going bald or settle for a hat. Nowadays, we have all the technology to help them regain their hair and confidence. But, in between, there was a dark era of lawlessness, when people got this awful tattoo.
Perhaps he thought it would blend right into his hair and look like a neatly trimmed hairline. Just imagine walking down the street, turning heads with a tattooed head like this. If we're being honest, he probably did it for the attention, because there are no other explanations for why anyone would want this!
Under the Sea
So, you're thinking of getting a "Little Mermaid" tattoo? That's fin-tastic! But before you go all Ariel and dive in headfirst, let's take a look at what you're getting yourself into. First things first, make sure your tattoo artist has some familiarity with the movie so their design looks at least a little convincing.
While you could go for a realistic portrait of your chosen character, this guy decided to go for a more... basic interpretation. We can tell it's from "The Little Mermaid" but it looks more like a children's drawing than anything. Hopefully, this doesn't sour anyone's memories of this beloved children's movie.
Loss of Dignity
The original post on Reddit.com said this tattoo is meant to symbolize loss. That might be the case, but let's be real here, anything can symbolize anything but if it looks like someone scratched tally markings on a bathroom stall, it is not going to get the intended meaning across.
Perhaps the funniest part of symbolic tattoos is when people try to explain them to others. "These squiggly vertical lines with one horizontal line going right through represents loss in my life." Okay, that may very well be the case, but to everyone else, it looks like a messy doodle.
