Inking someone is just as big of a responsibility as getting your tattoo ideas inked. I mean, if someone is determined to get a permanent mark on their body, the one who is making it happen has to be skilled enough to make sure the tattoo design doesn't become a regret of a lifetime. But that's not always the case. A good way to test if a tattoo artist did a good job is doing a face swap with a real-life object it is meant to represent, and some tattoo fails are so hideous, it's hilarious. Bored Panda has compiled a second list of these face swapped bad tattoos (you can find the first one here), and it's just as priceless. From a cartoony version of Avril Lavigne to a tiger that looks like it was drawn by a two-year-old, these funny tattoo designs will definitely make you think twice before letting someone pick you with a needle and ink. And while we do feel sorry for the people who got these, we're also incredibly grateful it wasn't us. Scroll down to check out the worst tattoos ever and upvote your favorites!

    It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. Everyone likes birds. The question is, do we love the lesser striped Koalatiger?

    The hand is especially grotesque. Why do people insist on getting ugly tattoos of babies or people in general. If you can't draw don't think you can tattoo. Yikes!
