I can't help but think that it looks like a crystal version of the original. Like the Crystal Guardians from Adventure Time.

To understand what happened at the diner, we use Mr. Papaya. This is upsetting because he is the friendliest of fruits.

So between the hair and the jawline, I can't be the only one getting some Syndrome vibes from that face, can I?

It can be quite a few. Check out the documentary Erasing Hate. Former Neo-Nazi gets a bunch of skinhead tattoos lasered off his face. poo poo looks painful as hell.

This is the only thread I look at NMS stuff in, maybe I should stop that. It looks like infected scarification.

I swear at first glance I thought the last 2 words were "And Lawyers" Even knowing what it says, I still see that.

EDIT: For content, a local station is having a contest where people submit terrible tattoos and the masses vote on the worst one. I think the "winner" gets a free removal.

"Mutated butterfly/snake/dolphin. Had it done may 2011. My husband & i were having issues back then and a "friend" drew it (we would come up with these random mixes of animals and he'd draw them all mutated together). Out of anger towards my husband for not wanting to participate in lemonade day with our then 4 yr old, i left and went to get one of the drawings tatted on with no thought. The next day at lemonade day, my mom pointed out it looked like a penis fish. I don't talk to this "friend" anymore and my husband & i have never been better now and its just a horrible reminder of many mistakes done at that time. ~Sylvia"



"A unicorn with 2 hearts and a dagger through a ribbon. Mine and my ex wifes name are on the ribbon although now her name is a blob of black because my current wife didn't care for it much. I was 16 when I got it. ~Juan"


"Crabs. I was 18, thought it would be cool to represent my cancer sign ... never thought someone would point down n say ... Oh, Sh-t you got crabs. Its embarrassing. ~Marty"

I like how she doesn't talk to the friend any more, as though it's the friend's fault that she's a loving moron.

Holy poo poo, there's 178 of these and they're all incredible. It's like someone dropped this thread off a year's worth of material.

If the art isn't enough the backstories make up for it.



Frog/sybolizing a time period of my life. 8 years ago at friends house. I got married to high school sweetheart right before she joined the Air Force and moved to Germany,I was on probation at the time so I couldn't leave the country until I was clear. Over the course of the next several months I got very close to a female friend and ended up sleeping with her. The night before i moved to Germany to be with my wife, I got this tattoo symbolizing a big section of my life. I metioned to the friend that I was getting the tattoo (it's from a video game called Ribbit King, which if you smoke pot, you should definitly check out). Even to this day, no matter how i explain it to her, my wife sees it as a reminder of me cheating. ~Britton

I love this. I'd bold it again if I could.

Some of the explanations are pretty realistic, "I was stupid." but plenty find ways to blame everyone else for their tattoo.

"Flames. A friend did them at my house about fifteen years ago. I have missed out on three really good life-changing jobs because they are so ghetto-looking and they can't be covered by clothing. They really pose an image that does not represent me at all. ~Mike"

So many of these say their horrible tattoo decisions have caused them to miss out on jobs. It's almost sad. Almost.

quote:


Naked Girl. This tattoo is about 8 years old. My friend had just started as a tattoo artist. One night during a party, while drunk, I decided it would be a good idea to let him give me a tattoo. I now have a three year old daughter. I am embarrassed to wear shorts when I take her to day care (it is at a church). I hate this tattoo and want it gone. ~Aaron

Also lots of "I have kids and now my ink is inappropriate"

At that point get them colored in, might as well. That just looks like some lovely squiggle someone drew across his knuckles. I mean, that's exactly what they are but still.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one to Flavortown, and that has made all the difference.


Most of these could be fixed by a cover up at a reputable studio easily. If people really hated them as much as they say they do it would be simple to get them fixed.

There isn't a single thing you could tattoo on your hand that won't deny you a respectable job.

I don't think that person was just a friend and I don't think they stopped talking because of the tattoo.

Represents my first marriage. I had the tattoo done in August of 2004 while I was in the Army. I was married in Nov of 03, and was deployed to Iraq two weeks after my honey moon for a year of stop loss. I came home for two weeks leave in August, and had a dragon screwing a fairy done on my right arm. A month later while back in Iraq I found out that my wife had been cheating on me ever since I was deployed. So with a knife and lighter I did my own self removal of the fairy. The joke is the dragon had to burp but farted and blew his a$$ off, and the fairy with it. ~Bryan



Turbo Snail. I had it done a few years ago when I met this guy at the gym. He had his own tattoo gun and I always told him no 'cause I thought his artwork sucked. Well one night in my apartment I was drunk and he finally convinced me that he could do an awesome job. It came out really bad. Anyway, I moved on. A month later, he is waiting outside my apartment saying he couldn't get in his place. So i let him in and I fell asleep. While I was asleep, he took my wallet, Military ID, ran up $500 in charges on my card and took my Subaru wrX STI out for a joy ride. He denied he did it until the end. It reminds me of a lovely person And it looks just aweful. ~David



I had the tattoo started back in 2004 and it was started by my brother. After he started the tattoo, I found out he was sleeping with my wife which is caused us to divorce. ~Vincent

So there was a triple whammy of terrible tattoo (done in the 2000's for a band from 30 years ago), a brother's deceit and his wife cheating on him. :drat:

A big gangster cross. Got it 9 yrs ago when I was 20. I was at a bar with my then bf next to this tattoo shop & after some drinks I decided it was time to get a tattoo to represent my previous 2 miscarriages. It was supposed to be a small solid cross on the nape of my neck. I told the dude I wanted to be able to hide it with my hair down. He not only completely disregarded what I requested, but he took a random cross off his wall art & permanently branded me with it! Not only is it a horrendous tattoo, it hurt like......you don't even understand! ~Leslie


I wonder how often tattoo "artists" disregard what a client has said. Or if that's just people lying because they know that tattoo was stupid as hell so "Oh it wasn't me it was the tattoo guy!"
