Tattooing is an art that has been around for thousands of years. It has carried with it many symbolic meanings for warriors, in religious ceremonies, and to impress friends.
Today, plenty of people get tattoos for aesthetic reasons, and to express themselves through art.
If you are planning to get a tattoo, it is best to consider your choices carefully, especially when picking a professional who has talent. If you donโt, you might just end up regretting it.
The following tattoos are what happens when things go very wrong:
1. With Great โNolegeโ Comes Great Responsibility


The silent k strikes again on another unsuspecting victim. What hurts more than the misspelled word is probably the font style that resembles that of a 1st grader getting acquainted with how to write out the alphabet.
2. The Reverse Scream


Iโm truly left with no words. I feel like screaming in perplexity or just screaming from such a horrendous sight to behold. If any bar was raised, it was the bar of no shame whatsoever.
3. Practice Makes Imperfect


Brenda must have been a special gal. Letโs hope Brenda gets a chance to see this in case she ever reconsiders her styles for signatures. Iโm sure she will have no shortage of options from this list.
4. Decisions Decisions Decisions


We canโt go back to the past, but we can certainly learn about grammar at a young age. The misspelling of the word โdecisionsโ leaves us wondering how did nobody stop this train wreck from happening since the first comma.
5. No Think No Ink


Maybe a pen should have been used instead of permanent tattoo ink to avoid this terrible occurrence. What pains me the most is the fact that the artist was able to spell โgainโ correctly, but was off by one letter.
6. Your Best Life


Itโs a good thing you only LIVE once. Iโd hate to be reincarnated with this embarrassing tattoo.
7. All-In-One Advertisement


Look no further for the perfect fast food restaurant life hack. If ever your phone has no battery you can rest assure your fingers can always help you decide where youโre getting your next batch of cholesterol. Just be sure youโre willing to keep these ads going for a very, very long time.
8. Say Aah


This end result of this tattoo just makes the original look like it was transported into the future by 60 years. The facial wrinkles and awkward shading make this end result look like the Penguinโs doppelganger.
9. The Missing Jigsaw


Nothing comes close to the sensation of feeling complete. Unfortunately for these two, these pieces donโt come in one package.
10. The Lion Sting


This looks more like a lionโs face before it has properly formed before being birthed. The derpy-looking eyes and the awkward nose structure set this one apart from the pack with a low chance of survival.
11. Holy wow


If the body is in fact a temple (we assume thatโs what she meant by โtAmple,โ why desecrate it with this atrocity? A little more careful attention next time would really help shape up a strong foundation in this temple.
12. Ainโt that the truth!?


Oh, they learned a lesson alright. And that lesson was to never get a tattoo in a place where clothing will chafe against it all day. Otherwise, youโll end up โexfoliatingโ that tattoo right off your body.
13. Demon gnome


This is what you get if you stick the Travelocity gnome as a cast member of โThe Walking Dead.โ Frightening as it may seem, itโs actually kind of adorableโฆas a Halloween decoration.
14. The Midas Touch


That bottom sentiment? Probably not the right wording for this tattoo.
15. The king is dead


If youโre a tattoo artist I urge that you please donโt drink and draw. This image clearly resembles nothing about Elvis Presley. The droopy eyes and puckered mouth combine into what can only be described as visual dread.
16. Strength and Dishonor


I want to believe in many things. Namely in this image, I want to believe there is still redemption for this person after realizing the mistake theyโve made. One can only dream.
17. Banana For Reference


This is where an obsession with cats mixed with a hunger for bananas lands you. While the artwork is interesting, the disturbing feeling of seeing cat fetuses next to protruding bananas stirs so much discomfort in me that I donโt know if I could ever recover.
18. Baby Boomed


The contortions of this babyโs face give me the feeling that itโs about to turn into a vampire at any moment. What was supposed to be captured as a moment of joyful satisfaction has warped into the inspiration for another horror adaptation.
19. Down to a โTโ


They say only the strongest will survive, however, I donโt know what strength it took to carve this ghastly eyesore. I think the strongest thing that will come out of this isnโt necessarily z living, but instead her ability to make it out of this life without getting an infectious amount of eyebrow raises.
20. Claw and Disorder


Now for the next act! On stage is the giant alien crab from Planet Tatooine! Be wary of its abnormal size and freakishly intimidating eyes.

Well, if these people realize that their tattoos are horrible, there is always the option of erasing them via laser or getting another tattoo to cover it up. Although, we could all agree that itโll just cost more.
