44 Terrible Tattoo Face Swaps That Show How Bad Some Tattoos Really Are
1.2Mviews
Bad tattoos are nothing short of an urban legend - there are so many posts dedicated to them, and yet you never see one in real life. For better or for worse these tattoo fails are kept hidden in sweater sleeves, pants or socks. Seeing one is as rare as a unicorn sighting.
There's no denying that inking someone without turning it into a tattoo fail requires quite a lot of skill, but if it' so bad that it's actually good, does that mean that your ugly tattoo was made be a professional? When in doubt with the previous question, you can always check the quality of your ink by doing a simple trick - face swap. Just take your body drawing and combine it with the real thing. If it still looks quite presentable, chances are you are good to go. In the list below, though, we have gathered the fine specimens of the bad and the funny face swaps.
The saddest part is that you are stuck with your worst tattoo for life unless you do a cover-up tattoo or muster up the courage for terribly painful laser removal. Anyways, while watching these we do feel pity, laughter is also guaranteed!

It shocked me, not that it's really bad, but that it covers their whole back (or front?)

These people obviously went to some ill-reputed, third rate tattoo artists! I don't think they're even artists. Pretty much looks like they gave the job to a child to do...

Wtf!! If the 'artwork' isn't bad enough, why the one arm and red eyes?

To be honest this one is pretty close to reality... :D Good job!
The thing about tattoos is, you can't go cheap. I say this a cheapskate. If it's going to be on your body for the rest of your life, spring for the extra few bucks and get a good artist. Even if you have to save for a few years. 'Cause these... wow.
Spot on mate!! No point pissing your money down the drain, save the extra pennies and check out the artists skill set first!! Don't just go to them as Auntie Pauline (its always a Pauline) has said, 'They ARE good and since they have just brought their first gun they will do a full back piece for £20 from the comfort of your own home'
If I were getting a tattoo,which I would never do, I would have them sketch it for me on paper first so you can see what it would look like
Real tattoo artists do. These are like when someone owes you money but can't pay "but i can tat you upreal good!"
Most tattoo artists will, and it will look fine on paper. The trick to realism and portraits is all about shading. You’ve got to understand when to hold back. Go too dark on your shading and it’s over. Turns into a different person on skin. Best to always review the reputation of the artist and closely review their portfolio only when you know the photos can be verified as being said artist. And most importantly, not all tattoo artists are masters at everything.
Yeah, real tattoo artists actually plan it with pen on the skin.
Someone gets a tattoo of Michael Jackson and has 'He touched so many' written below it. Oh my days!
