Good tattoos are an art form. Bad tattoos are a multiple sign of stupidity. Bad ideas designed by idiots and applied by tattooists that don't have any more ability than a kid with crayons trying to capture the Sistine Chapel...

Behold and cringe....







This deluded candidate for the Darwinism Awards is 21. Seemed like a good idea at the time....



This one is kinda poignant. The guy lost his daughter in an accident. Unfortunately, he picked a tattooist with no skills at all and is left with this grotesque tribute to his loss...



If you can find any worse than these, post them up

Oh I have a shed load of bad tattoo pictures
A girl I used to work with opened up her own tattoo shop last year, and although she is really good at doing them, she doesnt have the sense to try and persuade some people not to get tattoos that are absolutely vile. It might just be a matter of differing tastes on some of these, but still:


I like this one simply because it has managed to successfully integrate two sterotypical unclassy tattoos i.e. 'kev', and the rose.


I dont understand why you would want your status as a Notts Forest fan broadcast to the world..


Nice.


Why do this.. you arent chinese!


My all time favourite
The first time I saw this I stared in awe for a good 10 minutes, absolutely brilliant!

Ya'll should see the one where a guy has a cat tattooed on his bellybutton. Guess which part of the cat is the bellybutton......

There was on I saw just recently where a woman had a giant vagina tatood on her back. All i could do was ponder what drugs she was on when she decided that, that might be a good idea

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's one... Eye Tattoo..awful absolutely awful!!!

You know, I'd say 75% of people that get these tattoo's are doing it for the "cool" factor. Do you think Chinese people have English tattoo's?
No.




That site, badtattoos.com is hilarious. I seriously laughed out loud a few times too many. I don't know what these people are thinking letting idiots permanently mark their skin. Mark....I meant disfigure.

I've been to a few local tattoo shops more times than I can count, just for my own work and we all know that if any shop, or artist, has a bad name, its for a good reason.

Sheesh.
