50 Times People Got Such A Quality Tattoo, It Was A Shame That The Design Was Horrible
Most tattoo artists know a bad design when they see one. That is why they might offer some slight changes or suggest getting rid of the thing overall. However, some people are determined to get what they want. This leaves the tattooist with one option—trying to make it the best possible terrible tattoo using their skills. Luckily, some of these attempts turn out pretty great and end up on the internet, where they are met with repulsion and praise at once. That is due to the cringy idea, yet exemplary execution of the tattoo.
The Awful Taste But Great Execution community on Reddit is overflowing with examples of ATBGE type of masterpieces. From crossovers of children’s favorite characters to unexpected portraits, and more—people’s fantasy has no limits. Look through these fantastic tattoos and appreciate the intricate work of the artist even with the weirdest of requests.
If you’ve enjoyed these awful yet excellent tattoos, check out the examples in this Bored Panda post that are definitely more awful than excellent.

Been Saving This Blobfish Tattoo For Today, So Ugly It’s Beautiful
Ches Yamada 3 years ago
Whoooo. So they have a horrifying, twisted inside out (and dead) fish here. Blob fish don't look like this - they only do because when humans pull them up from the depths they literally turn inside out as they die. I love fish, especially deep sea fish, so it saddens me when people think this is what they look like. The art is awesome, of course, thoygh

I mean it's a good show, but is it chest piece worthy? I wouldn't even get a Game of Thrones tattoo on my chest, and that's my favorite show ever. But that's just me *shrug*. It's kind of a spot for something sacred, I feel, since it's over the heart.

Question to those who have a tattoo.........Do you mind if people ask if they can have a better look at it?

Excellent work, but gaagh, who wants bugs and serial killers on their body? Your tattoos represent you!

Look, the serial killers are weird, but I don't see what's so weird about bugs? Lots of people have butterflies, and I personally have a stag beetle named Stanley.
