We all experience regret at some point in our life. Experts categorize it into two types: inaction — things we didn't do, like asking our crush on a date — or action — things we wish we wouldn't have done, such as drunk driving. This time, let's talk about the latter.

The Facebook group with the glorious name 'What in the $20 wish tattoo machine is this?' collects the absolute worst designs people carry on their skin, and they serve as the perfect proof that not every (drunk) idea is worth executing.

Since this online community is celebrating its birthday (it was created on November 9, 2020), we thought why not commemorate it, and introduce you, dear readers, to its content? Continue scrolling and check out some of the group's most popular posts.

    She had plenty of time to say “I said the INSIDE of my lip!” and clearly didn’t, so she got what she deserved.
