Let’s talk tattoos, or more specifically, the absolute trainwrecks people willingly paid to have stabbed into their skin forever. We’re not talking art. We’re talking oops. Scribbled regrets, misspelled wisdom, and dragons that look like dehydrated lizards.
Somewhere, someone said: “This is fine”, and then let a guy named Skip tattoo it behind a gas station. Permanent decisions made by temporary brains. And listen, maybe you’ve got one. Maybe you don’t. Maybe you’re still trying to scrub off that dolphin from Cancun ’92. No judgment here.
This slideshow isn’t about shame, it’s about entertainment. We’re diving into the absolute Mount Rushmore of Mistakes, ink edition. So be ready. Laugh loud. And remember: you can laser off a tattoo, but you can’t laser off the internet’s memory. Ready to cringe-scroll your way through some lifetime oopsies? Good. Tap next, we promise it only gets worse from here.

Snakes on a… Stick?
Medical symbol meets medieval fever dream. Call a doctor... or a therapist.

Is it an eagle? A turkey? A rejected Pokémon? Nobody knows.

Jesus, But a Sketchy Doodle
He died for your sins… but apparently not for your artistic standards.
