Bad ideas seem to have an eternal bond with permanent ink. These 'masterpieces' were born in moments of certainty but without any design review. You can almost hear artist question what they're being asked, but hey, business is business.
Each tattoo tells a story of regret, impulsivity, the belief that spelling is optional. The commitment to the bit is commendable.
So roll up your sleeves, (or cover yours up), and prepare to witness what happens when imagination goes rogue and the tattoo gun just keeps going.
1
The Unking
If courage had a typo, it’d look like this lion. Half jungle king, half fried potato.
2
Wake Me Up When My Artist Learns to Draw
This Green Day tribute looks more like “Moldy Afternoon.” Billie Joe called, he wants his dignity back.
3
The Smudge Awakens
Looks like the Savior was resurrected… mid-earthquake. Hallelujah for effort, though.
4
Woman or Mystery
Some say it’s a woman. Others say it’s the ghost of a melted candle. Either way, she’s unforgettable.
5
Jesus, Take the Needle
The Lord may forgive, but that shading? Never.
6
Lion (Reloaded)
Because one tragic lion wasn’t enough. This one looks like he’s seen the first one and gave up.
7
Baby Got Back (and Wings)
That cherub looks like it just discovered taxes. Maybe heaven has daycare?
8
Benjamin Franken-monkey
Neck tattoo says “money moves”, but the face says “banana time.” A real investment in bad decisions.
9
Cartoonish Behavior
Looks like a 5-year-old was onto something.
10
Dragon? Drag-off.
More like an overcooked lizard with commitment issues. Puff, puff… pass on this design.
11
Nolege Is Power
Yes, and spelling is apparently optional. Tattooed proof that school was overrated.
12
Too Cool for Scool
When autocorrect takes a sick day. Bonus: a school bus that looks like it crashed into a crayon box.
13
Dragon Ball Zzz…
Even Goku would power down after seeing this. Super Saiyan? More like Super Sloppy.
14
Finger-Legged Giraffe
The concept? Wild. The result? A giraffe wearing human pants. Stretch marks, indeed.
15
Bat Guy
Big eyes, small talent. Looks less like Batman, more like your cousin after three Red Bulls.
16
Baby Bunch
Four babies, one tragedy. One’s wearing a hat, the rest are wearing regret.
17
Lone Wolf, Lost Artist
Howls at the moon, cries in shading.
18
Tiger, But Make It Confused
Half tiger, half bad dream. Looks like Frosted Flakes after a power outage.
19
Unfinished Business
A snake without skin, it’s either symbolism or the artist’s lunch break gone too long.
20
Rules of Regret
“God, Familey, Money”, at least they spelled money right. Priorities in order, spelling in chaos.
21
Ryan Gosling, Arachnid Edition
Eight legs, no logic. Drive (2011) meets Spider-Man (the rejected cut).
22
Stick Figure Wisdom
Two stick people, one says “nice shoes.” Minimalist? Sure. Meaningful? Only after three beers.
23
Sleepy-Eye Body Art
A tribute to nap time.
24
Take It Ease
He tried to say “Take it Easy.” He took it literally. Grammar went on vacation.
25
I’m Awsome
self-confidence: A+. Spelling: F-. Proof you can't believe in yourself too much.
26
My Mom Is My Angle
Acute? Obtuse? Either way, she’s proud. Nothing says love like a typo in math form.
27
Beauty and the Beast? Closer to Both Beasts.
Two portraits, one nightmare. She’s half monkey, he’s all mistake. A love story in permanent ink.
