In case anyone needed a reminder—tattoos are permanent. Once you get a name, portrait, or design on your body, it’s there to stay. Sure, you could get painful laser treatments to try and remove it, but the skin won’t look like it did before.
The bottom line? Be careful what you get tattooed or you’ll end up like these 15 folks.
No regrets?
1) Imitation is the greatest form of flattery?
It’s not bad to take inspiration from other people’s tattoos especially if it’s as cool and well-done as the one on the left. It’s a shame the tattoo artist went too far and copied the guy’s nipple as well. Oops?
2) The likeness is uncanny
We’re as big an Angelina Jolie fan as any hot-blooded man but we definitely don’t endorse this tattoo of her. In fairness though, they at least got her scowl right somewhat…okay not really. But if she ever does a horror movie…
3) A tattoo with meaning
We too respect this guy’s dedication and love for turkey sandwiches as evident by his Chinese tattoo. Too bad he probably didn’t know that’s what his tattoo said when he got it. At least he can order a sandwich in Chinese now.
4) Abstract art?
Nope. Just a regular tattoo of a galaxy on a girl’s chest. We can’t blame you for thinking otherwise though. That tattoo sure looks eerily similar to an infected brain. Seriously, it looks infected.
5) This was supposed to be stars
The intention behind this one was good. A constellation of stars tattooed on my chest? Yes, please. Unfortunately, hers ended up looking like a bad set of rashes and ticks. Not a cute look.
6) A tribute to mom
Don’t cheap out on tattoos, folks! If you can’t afford the best one, don’t get one at all, especially if you’re trying to pay tribute to a loved one. Ask to see a portfolio of the artist’s other work before you get ink – seriously.
7) Now nobody needs to ask anymore
Sure, people won’t badger you with questions asking if you’re vegan or not anymore…because they will definitely be asking why you decided to have your food choice tattooed on your face. At least it’s a conversation starter?
8) Give me something that says, “I’m fabulous but still fierce.”
And that’s how this tattoo came to be. What? People now know not to mess with this girl. She may look pretty and dainty like a flower, but she’ll claw you like a tiger.
9) Something to cherish forever
What’s a better way to express your joy for your newborn than having their face tattooed on you forever? Paying for a better tattoo artist that’s what. This tattoo would make any baby cry.
10) American eagle
If this isn’t the most American picture on the internet we don’t know what is. That eagle, that single earring, that slightly curly mullet…What’s not to love? Other than that it now looks like he has a beak sticking out of his forehead.
11) What’s on the site vs what arrives
Too bad the original concept wasn’t fulfilled. We guess that’s what you get for skimping out on looking for an experienced tattoo artist to save a few bucks. The shape of Italy came out mostly okay, though.
12) Roar?
We’re betting this guy isn’t too fond of taking his shirt off in public anymore after getting this majestic– uhm– let’s call it a tiger on his back. Imagine going through hours of pain just to turn around and see this in the mirror. Hopefully, he can get it covered with better work at some point.
13) Sex symbol
While this one doesn’t look as bad as the previous ones, it really failed in recreating the beautiful Marilyn Monroe on human skin. So maybe just say it’s your girlfriend whenever people ask…or a horror movie heroine.
14) Money talk…
Benjamin Franklin is probably rolling in his grave right now knowing someone tattooed this ‘likeness’ of him on their skin. This one looks more like a burn victim than a respected Founding Father. Not sure what else to say about this one…
15) When it’s too hot to wear your favorite socks…
…get them tattooed on instead. You’re probably shaking your head or laughing at this guy. But he’s not the one who can’t wear his favorite socks just because it’s summer. Now, who’s laughing?
