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.
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!
Every Rose Has Its... Piercing?
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.
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.
Vanilla Ice
Remember Vanilla Ice? The king of cheesy rap in the early 90s? Yeah, he's still around. And while he may not be topping the charts anymore, he's still making us laugh with his outdated fashion sense and cringe-worthy tattoos. Who could forget his hit single "Ice Ice Baby"?
It's been over 30 years and we still can't get that "dun dun dun dun dundundun" out of our heads. But Vanilla Ice is more than just a one-hit-wonder. He's also a home renovation expert, having starred in his own show where he flips houses. That's right, Vanilla Ice is now a handyman. Who would have thought?
