16 Terrible Tattoos That Have A Date With A Laser In Their Future

One of the first things you hear when you’re thinking of getting a tattoo is to do your research. If you’re gonna spend money getting something permanently etched on your skin, it doesn’t really make much sense to spend more money trying to cover it up or get rid of it right after.

After all, no matter how far tattoo art has come over the years, there’s still a good chance you’re gonna run into some clowns who are way better at convincing themselves they’ve got the magic touch than they are at actually doing the work. While it’s true that some tattoos die on paper long before they touch anyone’s skin, a bad inker can turn even the best ideas into laughingstocks.

Luckily for you and not so luckily for these unfortunate customers, we’ve got 16 of these very laughingstocks all ready for your hungry eyes. 

1. The pencil actually looks pretty good, so what’s with the 2nd-grade doodle of SpongeBob? 

Maybe the customer tried to stiff the shop after the pencil was done and this was how they got their revenge.

2. Believe it or not, this winged fish-demon is supposed to be a fairy.

That’s really bad news since it looks pretty sub-par, even by fish-demon standards. Trust me, I’ve seen a lot of them.

3. I think I’d honestly be happy with “meanie crime poet.” It sounds like a pretty slick nickname.

Also, shout out to whatever tattoo artist is apparently inventing a whole new language out here.

4. Well, they say the first stage of grief is denial.

Man, that poor skull already seemed to be going through a lot before he became the star of this atrocity.

The thorns aren’t always the bad part of a rose.
