“I’m Not Tattoo-Shaming, But I’m Tattoo-Sorry You Gotta Deal With… That”: 50 Of The Worst Tattoos (New Pics)
It’s safe to say that the undo function is an absolute lifesaver. You know, the CTRL+Z (Command+Z if you’re an Apple person) thing. The only other true contender to the throne of computational significance is the save function.
Alas, some things just can’t be undone. Like tattoos. And while laser removal is a thing—a rather effective thing, actually—you can’t run away from the time, money, and potential shame you had to deal with throughout the entire process.
At least the silver lining is that folks can laugh about it. There’s actually a dedicated place for that on Facebook. Yep, a group called I'm not tattoo-shaming, but I'm tattoo-sorry you gotta deal with...that.
Bored Panda also got in touch with tattoo artist Pat Fish to talk about all things tattoos, including some helpful insights for those who want a tattoo or two (or twelve), so be sure to read on!

They shrink somewhat when you stop wearing tunnel plugs, but yes, they will never be the same, especially when it comes to bigger ones. Though, I know a person who had 1,5 inch diameter ones and after few years they shrank *almost* to the point where they're no longer visible.

So, I'm not tattoo-shaming, but I'm tattoo-sorry you gotta deal with...that is a free-to-join public group that’s all about bad tattoo art. How bad? You can be the judge of that, but let’s just say they range from "OK, I kinda get it (but that's about it)" to "this is just flat out criminal".
As of this listicle, the group is home to nearly 149,000 members. The whole idea behind the group is to just have fun, and it is by no means a tattoo validation group. If someone does end up getting into a roasty toasty mood and going to town on a design, it’s not really frowned upon. Within reason, of course.

So, what is a “bad tattoo”? For some, it might be a mere issue of taste, but it’s things like skill and artistic aptitude that have a direct impact on how well a tattoo will turn out. And that correlates with money.
Tattoo artist Pat Fish, who brings the art of Celtic culture and symbolism to life on skin, elaborated on this:
“Unfortunately, if price is the first consideration, the result may be sub-par,” elaborates Pat. “The resulting tattoo may have shaky lines, the tattooist may get lost in the pattern and put lines where they ought not to be, or the novice apprentice may give it their best which is not yet adequate.”

If you want to get yourself a tattoo and not end up on the aforementioned Facebook page as a textbook example of a crime against the arts, there are several things to consider.
At the very least, do your homework, i.e. research designs, shops, artists, all that jazz, and make a firm decision. Brace yourself as this is quite literally a 'you get what you pay for' deal.
Also, make sure you’re comfortable with this, understand that it’s a personal choice, and take your time. It’s a serious decision. Even something as simple as starting small can go a long way.

“When a trend comes along, like outlining in color, or doing an entire tattoo in color without any black defining lines, the result is guaranteed to age poorly,” explained Pat.
“Tattoo artists know this, but when a potential client insists many will go ahead and bow to the economics of money in hand and go ahead and do a tattoo that will look lovely the day it is done, but will blur over time. People see something they want to copy on the internet and they do not want to listen to their local tattooist who understands the technical limitations of the medium.”
“This applies equally to questions of scale. If they see a photo of a backpiece TikTokTat and ask to copy it on their wrist the artist should be honest and say that level of detail cannot be done in a reduced size. But again, many will say they can do it with a poor result.”

Fun fact, the way tattooing works is a very stabby needle enters the second layer of the skin, called the dermis, and then it leaves some ink there. This triggers the immune system—this is normal, after all, ink is a foreign object in the eyes of the body—and then essentially makes sure that the ink doesn’t spread.
Under normal circumstances, the immune system would attack viruses and bacteria by quite literally engulfing them. But with ink, since it can’t effectively dispose of it—it’s not an organic creature—it instead contains it so it doesn’t spill out further while trying its best to dissolve it.
The white cell in charge of this process ultimately dies and another comes in to replace it, slowly breaking the ink down. But that happens extremely slowly, hence the tattooed image sticks around on your body for quite a while and is by all means permanent. Unless you’re an eternal, like a vampire. Then everything is temporary.

Now, when we say tattoos are permanent, that’s not entirely true. Besides letting it fade out (again, if you’re an immortal), lasers (the bzz bzz ones, not the pew pew ones) have been proven to be one of the safest and most effective ways of removing tattoos. Not without its flaws, though.
“ALL the methods of removal leave a scar, and in most cases you can even tell what the old tattoo was,” explains Pat. “The ink is deep enough that for full removal the only sure way to get rid of it is to cut away all the skin. MUCH preferred is to go to a competent artist who can design and implement a cover-up tattoo, so the skin remains healthy and the new design completely obliterates the one that did not meet expectations.”

You’ve seen a tiger before, right?…Oh yes, yes, yes, yessssssss…
Depending on the complexity, size and a number of other artistic and physical factors, getting a tattoo can take anywhere between a few hours to several months to complete. But that's just one part of the challenge. Besides you, there's also the tattoo artist who takes on a great deal of work. Remember when we said you gotta do your research? Yeah, synergy and vibe also matter.
“Being an artist, the ego gets involved, so it is important to keep in mind that the client is trusting you to do your best and create for them something they will be proud of for the rest of their life. That should be humbling, and an exciting challenge,” added Pat.

while I don't care for religious tattoos, the perspective on this is amazing. this is amazing artwork.
Pat concluded: “The most important thing I’ll say is that walking into a studio with a photo on your phone and demanding a low bid to replicate it will start off the encounter poorly. Far better to look online for portfolios of tattooists whose work you like, then bring them several ideas and photos of tattoos you like and ask them to create something ORIGINAL for you. If you want an artist’s best work, give them room to be creative. You’ll get a result you can be proud to wear.”

The fish body is based off the fish from the book "The Rainbow Fish" in which the fish was very glittery and vain. The human head is based off Edward from "Twilight" and the words at the bottom are a play on the quote "this is the skin of a killer, Bella." Which Edward says (he's a vampire and has sparkly skin or whatever). It's a very memed quote and you can find it with a quick Google search :)

Did anyone else initially think something inappropriate and disgusting was going on in this hideous tattoo?

Ghost concert. Ghost is a band and that is their logo.

I guess there are cases where "voluntarily" doesn't mean much. True, nobody pointed at her with a gun, but there are psychos and narcissists out there who pray on "weak" people and convince them of the most outlandish ideas. This person needs urgent psychiatric help! (In this context, weak = traumatised, self-esteem, abused, etc. I don't mean to say they are stupid or anything like that)

I do hate this kind of tattoo. I think people who want to have this "property of..." s**t tattooed should be hospitalised under psychiatric evaluation for a while, because they are profoundly sick. This should be treated as self-harm, or a suicide attempt, a symptom of something profoundly wrong. This person needs help! I know a similar case, and it's soooo creepy and sad. Her family laughed as if it was a joke, and it wasn't. It didn't end up well. I don't care if you are a man, a woman, trans, gay, whatever, you are nobody's property.

"Enjoy life today, Yesterday and is gone tomorrow. May? Never come." Hey if you're not going to punctuate (or put the words in correct order) I'll do it for you.

The quote may be overdone, the tattoo itself is well done. Nice lettering.

The serenity prayer from AA/NA/CA fellowships? Probably not the kinda thing you want to advertise, people can be so judgemental these days.

This looks more like some crazy burn scar from a bar fire at a dart tournament.

Oh! They're meant to be arrows! I didn't get that until you said darts.

"You want a deer ... rose?" "Yes. I want it to say Dear Rose..." "Really? A deer... rose...?" "JUST DO THE TATTOO ALREADY!"

I get what they were going for but the 3 big roses kinda throws me off. More and smaller Any-kind-of-flowers-except-roses, finer lines and lighter shading , if I was into deer or hunting, maybe. I have about ten rose tats all different and small, in single, three or five flowers

OK time to gripe. Some of these tattoos were absolutely fine. You not liking a strangers tattoo does not mean that it is bad or awful. I have odd tattoos on me but I got them because I like them. I don't care about some random persons opinion. A bad tattoo mean crappy line work, mistakes, spelling errors, offensive material etc...

What have I learned from looking at this page: 1. self tattoos are not a good idea. 2. Don't blindly trust the "professional: artist - see examples of their work first!

Some of these make the "brutal black project" look good by comparison.

The title bugs me so much. Some are good, many are really old and repeats on BP. Let people live their lives. Use your degree to write something instead of just ripping off pictures to shame others.
