Have you ever seen a tattoo that makes you wonder, “What were they thinking?” Well, let us tell you about a guy’s tattoo. He’s clearly a big fan of pin-up girls, and he thought it would be a great idea to get a tattoo of one on his arm. But unfortunately, the end result was less “sexy pin-up girl” and more “creepy monster lady.”
The tattoo artist probably told him that he had plenty of experience with pin-up girl tattoos, but once the tattoo artist was done, this poor guy must have been horrified. The pin-up girl’s torso seems distorted and her legs are way too short compared to the rest of her body.
That's a Great Drawing, Sweety
In the pantheon of terrible tattoos, this one might be the clear winner. There's been plenty of ink spilled in the name of tattooing a child's drawing on their parents' skin. And this must be one of the worst the internet has to offer.
Deciding to tattoo what your kid drew needs to be handled in one of two ways: doing it on a small, inconspicuous part of your body, or waiting for the kid to develop some better skills and only then getting one of his or her later pieces tattooed on yourself. Until their late teens, their drawings can go on the walls or the fridge.
One of Those Early Styles
This could be almost anywhere on the body, but hopefully, it's somewhere they can hide. It's kind of a cool design if you look at it long enough. While the execution could have been better, at least we know it's a bike. Clearly, this person wants everyone to know how much they enjoy cycling.
There is a particular mania that comes along with wearing your heart on your sleeve, i.e. your favorite thing as a tattoo. But is it really worth it if it looks sub-standard? Rather wait it out until you're 100% sure your design and tattoo artist can do a decent job.
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.
