We were all 18 once and we all know what it’s like to make dubious choices that you regret many years later. Like this guy, who got a terrible wrap-around tattoo around his arm. These types of tattoos were really popular in the mid-90s and were usually made up of barbed wire or tribal patterns.
Instead of getting it removed, he simply added a little comment that says “Don’t hate, I was 18” with a little arrow pointing underneath it. Have you ever seen a tattoo with commentary? This is our first. While it’s definitely cheaper than getting it removed, we also feel like it shows that he has matured.
Argyle Socks
Have you ever looked down at your feet and thought, "Man, my socks are so boring"? Well, fear not, because there's a new trend in town that's sure to spice up your sock game — sock tattoos. That's right, folks. You can now get tattoos on your ankles and feet that look like your socks.
This guy had a thing for Argyle socks, so that's exactly what he got. Of course, there are some downsides to sock tattoos. For one, they're not exactly practical if you're the type of person who likes to wear socks with your shoes. And if you're prone to blisters or sweaty feet, you might want to think twice about permanently decorating your ankle area.
Fan Fiction
Some people enjoy exploring alternative scenarios in their favorite fictional worlds and characters. Like this tattoo that's made a family portrait of animated characters, Marge Simpson with Carl Carlson and Gerald Johanssen from "Hey, Arnold!" They look like a sweet family but also seeing them together like this, is a little weird.
We all know very well that fanfiction has not always been... levelheaded. Which is why this could have just been a drawing, it really didn't need to be a tattoo. That's some serious commitment to an animated fanfiction theory. At least it's original, we could definitely say there is only one of these in the world.
Turkey Sandwich
Certain words or phrases may hold different meanings in different cultures, but we're pretty sure that there's no other possible meaning for "turkey sandwich" in Chinese. While turkey sandwiches are great and definitely worth acclaim, we know with some certainty that couldn't have been the tattoo this guy wanted.
Ultimately, getting a tattoo in a foreign language is a personal decision that should be made with care and consideration. For one thing, you'll definitely want to ensure that the translation is accurate, otherwise, you'll end up with something silly like "car door" or "turkey sandwich" permanently inked on your skin.
Toadally Strange
If, like us, you enjoy wonderfully weird designs that have been flawlessly executed, then you might appreciate this next tattoo. It's the perfect example of when awful taste meets outstanding execution. You'll often find many of these tacky yet excellently executed tattoos on Reddit, the place where bad ideas are born.
So while the strange toad that's been tattooed all around this guy's knee displays quality craftsmanship it does so in the least elegant way possible. Whether you love it or hate it, it remains a tacky and otherwise tasteless tattoo, but at least we can say it's been done well.
