There are plenty of reasons why people might end up with a bad tattoo. Maybe they lack taste, maybe they went to the wrong studio, or maybe they wanted crooked lines on purpose. Who knows. Either way, now they're stuck with the design for good, and if they go, for example, to the beach to have a swim, other folks might notice it, take a picture, and share it online. That's just the reality we live in. And it happens more than you might think. Just take a look at the Instagram account @worst_of_tattoos. It's on a mission to show that, "humans are trash at making good choices" and has already posted over 360 examples to prove it. Here are some of them.

Bad tattoo reading "Roses are red, My name's Dave, This poem makes no sense, Microwave" on a person's back.

    Apparently, statistics about tattoos are pretty available, especially. Even about the ones their owners aren't happy with. For example, a Harris Poll survey of 2,225 U.S. adults asked them about their top regrets and here's what they said:

    • They were too young when they got the tattoo;
    • Their personality changed or the tattoo doesn't fit their present lifestyle;
    • They got someone's name that they're no longer with;
    • The tattoo was poorly done or doesn't look professional;
    • The tattoo isn't meaningful.

    You're honestly not ready for tattoos if you're not ready for people having opinions about it. This is an extremely stereotypical tattoo and you need to be ready for people to think it's lame of you choose to get that. I have extremely dumb and impulsive tattoos and I couldn't give a single shít what anyone thinks about my art on my body.

    It's not uncommon to have regret immediately after getting a tattoo, especially since you're used to seeing your body a certain way and then, all of a sudden, it appears different.

    To help you come to terms with any immediate anxiety or regret you may experience, experts at Healthline suggest you permit yourself to wait it out.

    It may take a while for you to grow into or get used to the ink but remind yourself that if the anxiety or regret doesn't pass, you still have options to either cover it up or start a removal process.

    However, it's often best to think about these things prior to sitting down in front of the needle. In a recent Bored Panda article on bad tattoos, artist Josh Young of Highwater Gallery told us that homework is vital to the preparation process.

    "In my opinion, what causes a tattoo to be 'bad' is perhaps not enough research," Josh Young said back then. "Nowadays, there is such an extensive range of different styles by such a huge variety of tattooists, and so you have to go to the best artist suited for the type of tattoo you are after."

    "So many times customers have complained to me about bad work they have had done by tattooists who were ill-fitted for the type of tattoo they wanted, and so I try to encourage them to do some research and actively seek out the best for the job," Young explained.

    "You wouldn't go to a carpenter to fix your boiler so why would you go to a black and grey realism artist and expect a traditional tattoo? Unless you go to an artist who excels at all styles, do some research, find out who specializes in what, and you more than likely won't be having any bad tattoos."

    Young also added that if you are getting tattoos from your friend in his apartment from a two-bit machine he bought from Wish, that will also probably end up being a bad tattoo. "Stop that. Please," he said.

    But if you aren't happy with the tattoo you already have, there are still a few things you can do.

    "Firstly, don't go back to the artist who did it," Young advised. "A lot of customers I know have complained about work they have had from someone else, and yet, have returned to them for more, expecting a different outcome—that doesn't make sense."

    But if a touch-up can't hide your disappointment, a trip to the laser is basically your last option. But you need to wait until your tattoo completely heals before even considering it.

    While the exact time frame can vary, Dr. Richard Torbeck, a board-certified dermatologist with Advanced Dermatology, P.C., recommends taking at least six to eight weeks after getting the tattoo before going for removal.

    He said this allows for delayed tattoo reactions to be resolved that can occur with some pigments.

    Additionally, it gives you the opportunity to think through the process and decide if this is really what you want.

The tattoo is his nickname 'Devest8'. He didnt sleep thru it he just doesn't remember that terrible choice.

    don't get what we in the tattoo industry refer to as JOB KILLERS without a career in place and a backup plan that are both accepting! I hate it when people come in wanting their hands/face/neck etc when they have like 2 tattoos. it used to be you got at least some tattoos where you wanted them and so you can hide them with clothes now so many people just get arms, hands, neck etc they take off their shirt and there's not one tattoo under it. so many s**t artists willing to tattoo job killers on kids that aren't even 21 yet it blows my mind where's your integrity? I have no issues turning them away just like I turn away anyone under 18, and anyone wanting some racist or hate filled bs. begone

And I’m pleased that most tattooists have some morals about refusing to serve people they think would suffer as a result. Want the tattoo so bad? Do it yourself. But stop with the entitlement

    Please remember that tattoo and taboo are basically the same word. If you want a tribal tattoo, make sure you have the tribe's approval. It's best if you participate in the rituals and can speak at least some of the language.

    i've seen words like "jobn't" to describe being unemployed and "aliven't" to mean not being alive. so "winnersn't" likely means not the winners. i'm guessing this person is English, because Croatia beat England in the semifinals (according to google). maybe he got the tattoo before England was beat, and it said "England World Cup Winners 2018" but later added the "n't" when they didn't win

    It's probably the dermal piercing they do with this type of skin hole puncher. I'm not clear on the details but an old coworker had 3 on her chest and told be they punch a hole then insert the "stud?"
