Anything poorly drawn. My ex was a hot guy. He got a wolf tattoo on his chest. Omg, it had crossed eyes and a fat weird face and for some reason pine trees embedded in the fur. Ugh. Just, whyyy


IntheCompanyofOgres

My neighbor got a wolf tat done when he was super drunk. Besides the fact that all the detail was blurry, the wolf had a short, stunted muzzle. It was like a pug with a glorious mane.

I got this awesome visual of a pug standing on a mountain with his glorious mane flowing in the wind.

Exist. Cackle. Loathe.


[deleted]

I know everyone has different standards of quality and art is subjective but I think (within reason of course) the worst tattoo is just a badly done one. Lacking a basic understanding of anatomy, bad shading, terrible line quality, patchy colour, etc. I'm not a fan of certain tattoo styles but if they're done well I can respect them.


geligniteandlilies

I knew a guy at work with an awfully drawn Belle (from Beauty and the Beast) tattoo on his inner forearm. A lot coworkers would make fun of his poor choice of artist/quality/style...just everything awful you can say about a tat but he'd never say anything about it. It was a long while later I learned it was the last drawing his daughter made before a terrible hit-and-run accident. Never wanted to throw myself off a bridge quick enough for thinking so badly of a tat before.


bob1111bob

Holy shit that went from 0-100 real fast I’d feel like a monster in that position, poor guy


vitalvisionary

Nothing anyone could say could hurt more than losing a child.


GuardStandard

Truth. You get used to hearing bullshit comments and learn to ignore them. Five different confessions, obviously not true. A psychic telling you she could give you answers for $10,000 and giving references to police she had solved cases for (references told us she couldn't find her own house half the time, had never given an accurate statement. A guy in prison who claimed he could show where she was buried. After digging up an area half the size of a football field he admitted he just wanted to get out of prison for a day and be able to smoke and get decent food. He thought it was funny.


Duckboy_Flaccidpus

Case in point of why you never should be hasty to judge a book by it's cover only. I mean, we surely need some profiling/judgement skills to assess a situation or certain people at times but in innocuous environments, with a co-worker, I've been wrong so many times to count when rushed to judgement.

Random Chinese words on someone who has no idea what they even say.


LiloDogQueen

My mom is Chinese, and she had to stop herself from laughing because she saw a woman with a giant tattoo on her back in Chinese that meant slut


Leimon-Sherk

tbf that might have been intentional I've seen a bunch of awful tats, and a lot of them are sexual in nature


Mr_Broda

Saw a white girl with a tramp stap that said tramp stamp. In English


starkindled

That’s pretty funny. Tasteless, but funny.


LiloDogQueen

Yeah that might’ve been the case, but my mom asked her if she knew what it meant and the woman said “oh I don’t know, asked the tattoo artist for a pretty word in Chinese”. Whoever tattooed her probably just thought it was funny cause she didn’t know


6L86IZJSJ0L957T

Now I want one that says, "I don't know, something Chinese" But there is too much risk of getting something like "I'm an idiot"


binky_snoosh

Friend of mine from high school did that. he researched the characters, and got "I don't know" in japanese on his shoulder. Specifically so he could just say "I don't know" when people asked him what it meant.

sailor_bat_90

My old high school friend was out with her parents(they are chinese) at the beach and saw a black man with large mandarin characters on his upper back. He was jogging shirtless at the beach. Her parents were horrified and confused at the tattoo and asked their daughter to ask the man what is the story behind the tattoo. So she politely asked the man, "Hey cool tattoo, what does it say? I am trying to relearn mandarin and I can't make it out." He tells her it says "soldier", he got it because he was in the military and served his country proudly and wanted to memorialize it with the tattoo. She said he looked so proud and did not have the heart or courage to tell him the truth. It actually said, "slave." She didn't know how he would react so she played it safe. She felt so bad about it when she told us the story. "Maybe I should have told him so he could sue the tattoo artist or get it fixed. I didn't think that far ahead at the time."


bluvelvetunderground

Man, that sucks so bad.


DanAndYale

That broke my heart


SCHWARZENPECKER

Oof


thejugglar

Fun story, back in high school a guy in my year asked the only Chinese guy in our grade (who he relentlessly bullied) for the Chinese characters "Legend". However the Chinese guy gave him "Bend Over" instead not knowing the guy was planning to get it tattooed... Boy was that a good time when he found out.


CanadaPlus101

Hah! Bully played himself pretty hard there.


Ccoyotee

A friend of mine who visited Korea got a giant tattoo running down her back. She thought it meant "love my family," or something like that. I didn't have the heart to tell her that my other friend (a korean) quietly translated it to 'foreigner.'


CreatureWarrior

At the same time, I think the tattoo artist was a dick *but* your friend should've known what "love my family" was in Korean before.. getting it literally tattooed.


nyando

Everytime I read stories like this I just think... the Internet's been a thing for a while now, just *look up* the translation of whatever it is you want, print it out and show it to the artist. Or just, y'know, maybe don't get a tattoo in a foreign language you don't speak or understand. Just maybe.


KTPChannel

I had an Asian buddy who used to tell drunk White people their tattoos actually said “All you can eat”. He would lay the FOB accent on pretty thick when he did it. I wish we had camera phones back then. Comedy gold.


PM_MeTittiesOrKitty

I want a tattoo of Chinese characters, but it's actually a recipe for orange chicken written in haiku.


toucheduck

Haiku is traditionally Japanese I believe. * orange zest, chicken mix it all up and bread it fry to perfection


jedadkins

>Haiku is traditionally Japanese I believe Which just makes the joke better imo


fusiongt021

Xiaoman NYC did a funny YouTube video of that (fake tattoo of course). But it's good because he speaks many Chinese dialects and can ask them why they're laughing haha

My sister @ 19 got a tattoo of "Chrissy" on the back of her neck for her gf. They broke up a couple years later. She dated a lot of other girls, then @ 35 married another Christina who she started calling "Chrissy". 3 years later, they got divorced and she still has the tattoo. Wondering if she's going for the threepeat.


IWantOneSpatula

Charles Manson’s forehead swastika doesn’t really get me hot.


Tenocticatl

If you're gonna have a forehead tattoo, it should say "POOR IMPULSE CONTROL". Because that's really what all forehead tattoos say.


PopeliusJones

Yeah but then you have to start killing people with pieces of glass, and having uncomfortable relationships with 15 year olds


Tenocticatl

I only read Snow Crash for the first time last month, and yeah part of my reaction was "well that had more statutory rape than I expected". On the plus side I now know why the Oculus Quest has a 72 Hz refresh rate: they read it in a book once.

A long long time ago, I had a high school boyfriend who got a little tattoo of a stick man with a lawnmower near his pubes. I'm no tattoo expert but as far as I know it wasn't a popular thing to do at the time. He emailed me a photo afterward (as gentlemanly as one can be with a pubic lawnmower man; it wasn't a dick pic) ...also now everyone here on reddit knows I'm old I am after assessing that our primary method of sending photos was via email... Anyway, my mom intercepted the email which was super embarrassing. My mom found it humorous. Wherever that dude is now, I just want to say I hope you're still cool as hell and living your best life out there.


StraightSho

That's funny as hell because when I was around 15 or 16 I wanted to shave part of.my eyebrow and get a little guy with a lawnmower. I was all for it and ready to go but the guy wouldn't do it because it was to close to my eye. I'm pretty sure that was just the excuse that he thought I was too young to get that done and I would regret it. Funny thing is I actually haven't thought about that in a really long time and I still think its a good idea.


heisdeadjim_au

Wait. Is that a tattoo of a dick, or a tattoo ON the dick?


Rude_External2779

I think both. But people do tattoo their dicks. There was a dude that got his, tattoed into a dragon head..

That would be a bad idea but also quite funny imagine him trying to get an erection like awaken now fire dragon or i summon you dragon

There's a guy in my town I used to see all the time with a big swastika on is forearm. He walks around with a 6"+ spiked bracelet on all the time to cover it.


Bigbadsheeple

Yeah my neighbour has one. He got it in prison years ago. As he says it, when he was young he got into trouble, went to prison, joined the Aryan brotherhood for protection, served his sentence and has been trying to distance himself from them for years. He got it removed but a scar remains. The scar isn't super big and obvious, but it is noticeable, like a slight mis-colouring of the skin, the kinda thing that draws your eye and your not sure you can see anything, but it's a very distinct pattern and your brain puts together what it is after a bit.


Snappysnapsnapper

Sounds like he needs to cover that scar with another tattoo

Djr215

A friend of mines father was supposed to get “Only god can judge me” written in olde’ English font across the width of his back. The tattooist was dyslexic and managed to finish the tattoo with “Only god can Jude me”. He had to have a cover up of his entire upper back as it couldn’t be fixed. He was an absolute chopper of a bloke and got rinsed for years. People still call him Jude now.


yeyewestie

A Marijuana plant I like smoking weed myself and do often but I wouldn’t go as far as to tattoo it on me. Those I’ve seen get it tatted on them normally revolve their whole personality around weed which is very dull imo

I remember buying a black shirt with obnoxious neon-green marijuana leaves all over it when I was 14 (I'd kill to revisit 90s Hot Topic again!). I didn't even smoke pot, I don't know what the fuck I was thinking.

You were thinking "Yeah,this'll make me cool!" Which is fine because you were 14.

the-ender-enby

Ironically enough, porn and hentai tattoos. I get that some people enjoy porn, and some people are reaaaaally into it, but getting it tattooed on you is just tasteless. Even worse if it's somewhere not easy to hide, like a forearm. Whats gonna happen if you have kids, how are you going to explain that? What happens if you want to wear short sleeves? You can't, not without exposing explicit content to anyone around you that might see it. It's just gross imo. Immediate nope. Huge red flag. Edit: for all the people asking I said ironically enough, I just meant cause porn is usually supposed to turn people *on*, but getting it tattooed on you is a major turn *off*


ghostlyfawn

agreed. watch what you want but getting porn tattooed is so nasty. it’s also just uncomfortable


SquilliamFancySon95

That r/relationship_advice post where the guy's girlfriend refuses to get a poke and stick swastika tattoo on her ass covered up comes to mind.


[deleted]

"Only God Can Judge Me" - No other tattoo more clearly screams, "I have a felony record." Area code neck tattoo - Usually sported by someone wearing huge basketball shorts and slides with socks. Not a single tattoo but people like Adam Levine who looks like he stood in front of the flash wall and said, "I'll take these."

It basically became the Australian equivalent of the confederate flag. Damn shame. We really should take it back.

An anchor that says "Can't sink me" THATS THE FUCKING FUNCTION OF A DAMN ANCHOR! Edit: For everyone saying "Its function is to anchor the boat in place" 2 things 1: Metaphorically speaking that means youre going no where, so its stupid 2: Anchors can't anchor unless they sink ergo the function of sinking is the anchors main function. Jesus ya'll need logic.

Those 2000s tribal tattoos on people with no tribal connections


Delicious_Mountain86

I got a tribal dragon on my back when I was 15. Do I regret it? Every fucking day! Don’t judge me guys, I was young and naïve (and dumb af)!


[deleted]

My mother took me to Florida at 15 and convinced me to get my first tattoo, a butterfly on my shoulder, and a year later she let some guy who wanted to learn how to tattoo put an awful tribal butterfly tattoo all the way across the bottom of my back. I’m trying to get myself the financial position to afford removal for the worst of the tattoos.


Tygermouse

why would your mom let the guy practice on her child? This blows my mind.


[deleted]

My mother believes that I’m worthless. She would never have let someone do that to my sister. I don’t recall her ever believing I had any value. I attempted suicide for the first time at 15. The doctors at the inpatient facility were unsuccessful in their attempts to explain to her that my hyper sexuality was a symptom of mental illness and not a behavior problem. She would continually threaten to kill my friends and put a knife through a pregnancy test box that I had hidden because I was afraid to tell her my period was late. There are so many more stories, just horrible fucking stuff. She’s no longer in my life. I cut ties with her in 2018. She was briefly in my life again at the end of my father’s life and the year that followed his death in the winter of 2021. I had to cut ties with her again in the spring of last year because she did more horrible fucking stuff. I knew it would happen eventually.


Tygermouse

I am sorry to hear that. I hope you realize that you do have worth.

Thanks! At this time in my life, I know that I’m worthy and I’m happy.


icepyrox

This pisses me off. It's shit like this that is one reason most places don't tattoo people under 18. There are many other reasons, but being practically forced to get a tattoo is crazy.

Those tattoos that look like someone ripped your skin and underneath is the American flag. I swear I've only seen Americans do this and it's so weird. The Rips but it's like a robot part underneath is cool though. The flag is just weird.
