This Facebook Group Shares Pictures Of Tattoos They Believe Shouldn’t Exist, And Yikes (New Pics)
Interview With Expert
Your body isn't just a tool, it's also a canvas, and tattoos are one of the most personal forms of expression. But if there's one thing people love to do with art, it's to critique it.
Ink Shaming — All Bad Tattoos is a Facebook group where that becomes especially clear. From terrible designs to bizarre subject matter and questionable placements, nothing escapes the judgment of its 397K members.
However, since the group also sees a lot of discussions (mainly over who's to blame for these pieces), some of them even get acquitted. So continue scrolling, upvote the ones you dislike, downvote those you believe are actually alright, and don't miss the chat we had with tattoo artist Nat Rita of Rita Tattoo — you'll find it in between the images.

No matter how little cash you have or how drunk you are, never let anyone near you with a tattoo gun unless you have researched their body of work and exactly what you want. Good work does not come cheap.
