I found 22 of the funniest bad tattoos that will have you laughing your head off! Even the ink seems to regret these choices. Each tattoo perfectly proves why some ideas are best left uninked.
You won’t believe how a simple tattoo idea and an amateur tattoo artist can turn into a disastrous fail!
1. Why You Have Dr. House All Over Your Face?
Actually, amusingly bad placement is what makes this tattoo outrageously funny! Four eyes, two noses, two mouths, and two chins! Why would you want to have Dr. House’s face inked all over your own?!
2. A Bouquet?
I don’t know if this is a bouquet or what but it looks like a terrible joke. This guy must not have been conscious when this “work of art” was inked on his neck and face.
3. Subtle Cover Up
It’s almost impossible to spot the coverup. Truly an “amazing” piece of work for a person who had some misconceptions in the past but now it’s all behind him. Now he’s just a loyal Windows user.
4. Purrsome Eyebrows
“I don’t want just any tattoo! I have a great idea — cat-shaped eyebrows tattoo! Awesome, I mean purrsome, right?”
5. Enjoy Your Flight
Imagine a 3-hour flight with this masterpiece in front of you! Seriously, a very creative idea that requires the joint effort of a tattoo artist and hairdresser to achieve such a brilliant result!
6. Foot Crack-Up
I’m trying to understand the initial idea of the person and their tattoo artist. And how did they manage to come up with such horrible ink?!
7. Crabby Hug
At first glance I saw a huge bug and thought this person must be a Kafka fan! Boy, was I wrong. When you end up with a massive, bug-like crab tattoo fail all over your back, the best thing is that you hardly ever have to see it.
8. Rod of Asclepius Went Horribly Wrong
You wanted to ink a powerful symbol of medicine and healthcare, but you realized too late that your tattoo artist has the drawing skills of a 4-year-old. Things get worse when he adds flowers to the snake, hoping it’ll somehow make you feel better.
9. T-Rex King
A T-Rex, king of all the dinosaurs is depicted with just one front limb, half-legged and missing a tail. Not to mention the “masterful” execution, a tattoo artist is probably proud of himself!
10. In Denial Of Balding
Hair loss makes men feel depressed, but this buddy came up with a very creative idea for that problem. Can you spot any sign of depression on his face? Of course not, he’s so proud of himself and this “stunning” piece of work!
11. “If I Sad You”
“If I Sad You Cause You Said Me… “ Wait, let me read that again! It takes serious brainpower to decipher this “poetry” in ink. It just seems like a senseless bunch of words, but there must be a “deep” meaning behind it.
12. Scribble My Back
“Yeah man, just scribble my back as you please! You can do the script, and I like hearts, unicorns, whatever… But don’t forget to add colors — colorful tats are so artistic!”
13. Lion, I Guess
I guess this is a lion, but for a moment I saw a tiger. Then I noticed the lion mane, but wait — it looks like a lion has a problem with a hair loss. Probably that’s the reason why he looks so frustrated and ugly!
14. Bored Geisha With A Cute Little Sword
Besides a thin sword (or a knife?) the funniest element of this ink is Geisha’s face. The moment you see it you can’t stop laughing. OMG, what a hilarious tattoo fail!
15. Cat Paw Print Went Wrong
You had one simple job… A cat paw print tattoo should be the easiest thing, but somehow this one turned into a total fail. And that bold black ink only highlights the weird shape–hahaha! Absolutely “gorgeous”!
16. If You Stay, Go?!
Another cryptic poetry script tattoo. Truly mind-boggling. Such a clever choice — everyone will ask you to explain the meaning!
17. Tiger Head Blossoms
This piece of body art shows how a tiger’s head blossoms! I don’t know whose idea it is but I must notice this is a product of an outstanding imagination! Bravo!
18. Time Is Slipping Away
This is a brilliant representation of a global phenomenon we all experience — time is slipping away. Such an “astonishing” and “creative” design. Not to mention the execution.
19. Angel Wings
“I want large angel wings on my back, can you do it?” said an enthusiastic man to his tattoo artist. “No problem, I have done dozens of angel wings tattoos.”
20. Michael Jackson’s Portrait
Not only does the portrait look like a 10-year-old inked it but the worst part is the script element under the image: “Forever with us. ‘He touched so many…'”
21. Portrait Of A Girl
Poor girl, I’m sure she looks way less scary in person. Next time you’re gonna double check if your tattoo artist is really capable of inking a complex portrait of your loved ones!
22. “Pharaoh’s Horses” Tattoo Fail
“Pharaoh’s Horses” hilarious tattoo fail! I guess when he realized how bad it is, the tattoo artist tried to “fix it” by adding two extra horses to the design!
