We all make mistakes in life. Luckily, most of them remain in the past and come back only as memories, occasionally visiting us when we lay in bed on a random Tuesday night. Most, but not all of them.

A few can get so woven into our everyday life that there's no escaping them, only accepting. The Instagram account 'Failed Tattoo' is full of such regrets.

Whether it was the idea or the execution, this fun social media project is full of designs that most of us wouldn't want permanently inked on our bodies.

I'm assuming the original is supposed to be a person parachuting? Otherwise, I love the idea of the duck farting fire.

    Little Red Riding Hood is walking through the forest and suddenly sees the bad wolf sitting behind a tree. She walks over and says, “Wolf, why do you have two extra ears?" To which the wolf replies, "Fück off, I'm taking a dump!"

    The wolf itself looks well drawn, but ruined by the placement. That's a shame, because this is generally one of the better wolf tattoos I've otherwise seen.

    Missed the "a" thought it was referring to the actual king Charles especially because of the huge ears until I read the comments. Though he look more like a Bassett hound.

    I think you should never get a tattoo of a loved one. Regardless of the quality of the artist, relationships go sour. And even if they don't bodies do, when you're 75 and wrinkly and saggy that amazing tat of your partner will look awful.

    Microblading can look natural and beautiful. Just make sure you go to someone who's excellent at it. Ask around. Your hairdresser or beautician might know who's good, cause they see a lot of eyebrows up close. Good luck!

    My only assumption is that she had temporarily lost her eyebrows for a prolonged period of time (be it from a disease, or something of that nature), and wanted to have them tattooed in to look somewhat more natural, but got them too high up, and whatever was causing the loss of her eyebrows subsided? That's the only thing I could think of.

    Wolves are strong and cool and dangerous, so if I get a wolf tattoo, I’ll be strong and cool and dangerous! /s

    You know the whole point of a cover up is to... cover up the old tattoo... right?

    Ok, factoring out the poor drawing of Jesus (?), this just a poorly applied tattoo (also ?). Tattoos need to be right side up, meaning the tattoo needs to be flipped 180 degrees around for it to be properly applied. Hopefully it's a self done job, but it's bad, nonetheless.

    Sad thing is, I think I know the artist who did this (not personally, but I know of them). "Mystical" Mike Paterek, who was a contestant on Ink Master... and lasted only 2 episodes. He wasn't a very good artist, and is a very insufferable person.

    Tattoos normally scab up while healing (bit like a sunburn) and some of the colour comes off with the skin. But I've never seen it that bad before.

It's the one thing I think I could live forever on without dying from a nutritional imbalance. And folks in New Mexico will justifiably ask for green chili on it. Yum.
