A good tattoo usually takes a lot of time and effort. And not only the tattooing itself; coming up with the best idea and finding the right artist can be time-consuming as well. For a reason—the last thing you want is something this permanent to be disappointing if not horrifying.

Some people don’t seem to properly think things through. Others might have a very odd sense of beauty, while a few are plain unlucky with how their tattoos turn out. All of these and many more instances can be found on this Facebook group, with a name that says it all—”I'm not tattoo-shaming, but I'm tattoo-sorry you gotta deal with...that”. With roughly 6.4 thousand members, the group is a never-ending source of terrible tattoos, and we have found some of the best (or should I say worst?) examples to prove it. Scroll down to view the disasters.

You don’t have to be a tattoo artist to see how bad some of these tattoos are. Whether it’s the design or the execution to blame, the end results range from surprising to hilarious and horrifying. In some cases, all of the above.

They show that it doesn’t necessarily have to be misspelled to be regertful. History Of Tattoos has revealed that as much as 17% of people regret the ornamentation on their body. The most common reason for feeling this way—it’s a tattoo of someone’s name.

    According to Ipsos, back in 2019, 30% of people in the US had at least one tattoo. (The percentage increased from 21% in 2012.) The number of inked people is ever changing and so are tattoo trends. Some of the most popular designs that were cool and original back in the day would likely be considered outdated at best at the current time. 

    Glamour suggests that, when it comes to trends for 2023, minimalist lines and nature motifs are going to be the popular option. It emphasizes the importance of artistic expression through tattoos, and suggests that original pieces, as well as so-called sticker sleeves, and nature-inspired designs will take over the industry.

    To everyone minimising this automatically as "just" a BDSM thing; it's equally likely that this woman is being emotionally abused or manipulated in a non-consensual way. Just because it's slapped with a BDSM label does not mean that actual abuse can't be happening under the surface. A collar, a piercing, a subtle tattoo... that's one thing. This is coersive control in another guise. No genuine, sane Dom would want to do this to their sub's body.

    However, some designs are believed to be able to stand the test of time. According to Tattoo For A Week, parlors often help clients figure out what they might want to get, as they have books brimming with ideas. Some of the all-time most popular images there include dolphins, stars, wings, hearts, and butterflies.

    Healthline points out three main ways for removing a tattoo: laser removal, surgical excision, and dermabrasion. The first option includes working with a Q-switched laser, which fades out the tattoo—it sends a pulse of energy, which dissolves the ink by heating it. Laser removal usually requires multiple sessions, but it’s one of the most common and successful ways of getting rid of the design you no longer want on your body.

    As the name suggests, surgical removal is a more invasive procedure, during which the tattooed part of the skin is cut out using a scalpel. Dermabrasion also requires removing the skin, but instead of a section, it is removed in layers, allowing the ink to ooze out.

    Look at their skin. This person is older, has that crepey skin. Tattoo is recent. I suspect it’s a memorial; it could be that it means something to that person, a place of change in their life, perhaps a wish for a lost someone who they see as freed into eternity.

    Commemorating that time my friends told me Doc Ock wasn't home so we rode our bicycles over to his house and stole his Christmas lights but it turns out my friends lied, Doc Ock was home and he punched me in the nose. My friends got away but I was trying to look cool so I had my hat pulled down over my eyes and tripped on one of his tentacles. It was weird how the blood ran behind my lips instead of over them. I'll never forget that day. (Seriously, WTF was this person thinking?)

    There can be hundreds of reasons for removing a tattoo, and work might be one of them. Depending on the job, some workplaces still have a negative outlook toward them. Statistics show that nearly 76% of Americans believe that they (together with piercings) make it more difficult to get a job. (The majority (61%) of HR specialists agree with being less motivated to hire a person with a visible tattoo when it’s on his face.) However, roughly 40% of employed people (aged 18 to 34) have tattoos nevertheless.

    It could have worked, but the ear is a very tough spot to work on. It doesn't have a clear, flat surface that most other areas of the body would have. I think it's also one of the most sensitive areas of the body, so it's going to be very painful.
