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.

That's kinda funny. I wouldn't get it, but I also wouldn't call that a fail...
Reminds me of that badly taxidermized lion that someone did for the King of Sweden! :)
Oh boy! That kid was probably cute as a button once past the ‘old man’ brand new stage too!
I don't think I would draw attention to the first tattoo by getting a second tattoo like that... XD but it's kinda funny/silly. (Unless he's the guy with "RESPET" on his eyebrow)
I feel so bad for people who want a tattoo of a loved one just to have it turn out so horribly... :(
If they were going for the Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz they are not far off.
I think this will be an entry for a redo criteria in a convention...
Poor 2Pac... This is horrible all over, but especially his teeth. Tupac was so handsome, and he had gorgeous teeth.
That looks more like a symptom of self-harming.
I believe that was done on purpose (I've seen it before several times).
Ok so I get the whole long faced lion but wtf is the other tattoo 😭
I love drawing bones on my hands! Most of the time it looks better than this...
The little stencil looks like this person either drew it or knew exactly what they were getting. Dummy.
When you have get a tattoo telling people what your other tattoo is supposed to be...
This is the sort of tattoo forced upon women by pimps and abusers. It doesn't belong here.
Some of the tattoos were horribly infected. I hope those people went to see a doctor...
I can't draw for sh!t. It's nice to know I can still get work at a downmarket tattoo shop.
why on earth would you ever get a tattoo of a photograph from an artist without seeing other tattoos of photographs that they have done? I have to believe that there are A LOT fewer tattoo artists that can pull of this tattoo vs those that can't. It takes talent just to draw photorealistic pictures, much less to do it with a tattoo gun.
