Regret — we all experience it at one point or another, and nothing stirs up remorse quite like a bad tattoo. An estimated 32% of people in the United States have a tattoo, and about one-quarter of them may end up regretting their funny tattoos or wanting them removed.
Before getting a tattoo, most of us spend a long time picking the design, consulting with the tattoo artist, and choosing the perfect spot for our body art. The lesser part of the people get drunk, find a guitar string, some fountain pen ink, and presto — they now have a truly regrettable tattoo.
As far as we can tell there will never be a lack of tattoo fails nor a shortage of people willing to share their ugly tattoos. Bored Panda has added a new list of bad tattoos that either didn’t go as planned or will make you question what goes through people’s minds.
From bad artists who didn’t quite nail it to bizarre artistic choices, scroll down below to see these cautionary tales of the worst tattoos ever!

When Do Tattoos Go Wrong?
It usually starts with a bad design or a spur-of-the-moment decision. Imagine someone picking a tattoo on the fly, not thinking about how it’ll look years down the road or if it really suits them.
Then, there’s the actual tattooing part. Things can go south if the artist isn’t… qualified, to say the least. You know, shaky lines, words spelled wrong, colors that blend into a muddy mess — basically, a great idea getting lost in the process.
And let’s not forget aftercare. Tattoos need TLC to heal right. Skipping out on the care tips can lead to all sorts of trouble, like infections or a faded, sad-looking tattoo.
And while you’re checking out these hilariously stupid tattoos, think about where it all went wrong. Was it a quirky idea that didn’t work, an artist’s slip, or maybe just bad luck in the healing process?

How Common is Tattoo Regret?
It turns out that tattoo regret is a real thing for quite a few people. In a Pew Research Center survey involving 8,480 adults, they found that about 24% of tattooed Americans have some regret about their ink. This isn't a tiny number, considering 32% of US adults have at least one tattoo.
Interestingly, the level of regret varies among different groups. For instance, 30% of tattooed Hispanic adults reported some regret, compared to 23% of White and 21% of Black adults.
There also appears to be a slight variation in tattoo regret based on education levels. Those with some college or less education are more likely to regret their tattoos (25%) compared to those with higher educational levels (19%).
This info helps put things into perspective, doesn't it? As you’re scrolling through these bad tattoo choices, it’s interesting to think that a good number of these people might be part of the 24% who regret their decision.

What to Do When You Get a Bad Tattoo?
So, you’ve got a tattoo that didn’t turn out as awesome as you thought it would. Don’t sweat it! First off, give it some time — what seems like a disaster at first can grow on you. If not, you’ve got options.
Cover-up tattoos are a popular choice. A skilled artist can work wonders, turning your regret into a piece you’re proud of. Laser tattoo removal is another route, though it’s pricier and takes several sessions. And hey, if it’s a small or simple mistake, sometimes a little touch-up is all you need.
But remember, the best fix is prevention. Think long and hard about your design and artist choice before getting inked. And if you end up with a tattoo fail, don't be too hard on yourself. Everyone makes mistakes — yours just happens to be a bit more permanent!

A Facebook Friend Wanted A Very Specific Tattoo, I Think The Artist Really Nailed It
Lucida 7 years ago
Don''t people check up the tattoo artist's skills before getting in the tattoo artist's chair? The birds look like they were done by a five year old and the tree is just a lump of black ink.
djinnjeannie 7 years ago
I’ve seen people come in when I’ve been in the chair who’ve just waltzed off the street with no idea what they want and no idea whether the artist is any good or not. Luckily for them, my tattooist who has done all but one of mine, is not only a good artist but also a good person. He often sends people away, if he thinks they’re even slightly drunk or impaired in any way, he won’t do face tattoos on anyone unless they’ve already got them and often times if he just thinks the person hasn’t thought it through. One of those was the girl that came in once when he was doing my arm who wanted him to suggest a design and said it didn’t matter because if she didn’t like it one day she’d just laser it off. He said if that’s what you’re thinking you should never get a tattoo and kicked her out. He’s not rich and like most small business people has to watch his budget but he’d rather do without the job relatively often.

Trisha Dragon 7 years ago
They do it while the animal is still sedated in surgery. It was seen more prior to the current chip implants. Early 90's my dog had my SSN and the spray symbol tatted on her inner thigh. Small dogs were frequently stolen (everybody had pitbulls or labs) and my mom wanted to make my pup as unappealing a target as possible since I was a kid and scum bags would find robbing me of my dog damn near irresistable. The joys of being trailer trash. They ate my pet rabbit but they left my damn dog alone. No resale value. Added bonus she found the hair shave and tattoo itchier and more unpleasant than the surgery wound so she didn't mess with her sutures at all. She healed from her spay really well.

sunnyrei82 7 years ago
I think this one is reaaaally cool. Just because you think it's extreme to have a huge, creepy tattoo on your face, it does not make it a "bad tattoo". I would never have this done, but I think it looks great, the coloring, shading, highlights... I think it's pretty good.

When You Get A Tattoo At Age 11

Umm... Ruth. You got so downvoted because that S is known as "The Cool S". So that was the joke. Also before anyone says anything I also know its called "The Super S" "The Superman S", "The Sussy S", and many other nicknames... but its cool that that S literally has its own wikipage and someone is making a documentary about the origin of that S.

While a lot of these are really poorly done and there's no reasonable explanation why anyone would choose some of these designs, quite a few of these are well executed, even if the ideas are silly to some.

For one, most people who are heavily tattooed and/or have a good bit of tattoos do not mind getting "joke tattoos" or just all around questionable ones because it makes us happy.
