People Claim These Tattoos Signal Major Red Flags On People, Here Are 40 Of The Worst Ones
Interview
For thousands of years, humans have marked their bodies with permanent designs known as tattoos. They have varied from plain, sometimes elaborate, other times symbolic, but always personal, and these inkings have served as amulets, status symbols, declarations of love, signs of religious beliefs, adornments and even forms of punishment.
No wonder people’s fascination with tattoos remains stronger than ever. While there’s still some stigma about them in our society, a more progressive approach to our bodies, identity, and self-expression is emerging.
At the same time, some people are slightly more skeptical towards body art. They even claim that particular designs, symbols, and body areas where a tattoo is placed can be read as a warning sign. “What sort of tattoo on someone is a major red flag for you?” someone asked on Ask Reddit, and we looked at what people had to say. Let us know if you agree or disagree with them in the comments!
We also reached out to Alex Alvarado, a tattoo artist at Santo Cuervo studio, and Adam, the studio manager at Vagabond Tattoo based in East London, who shared a couple of insights into tattoo art from the experts’ perspective.

According to tattoo artist Alvarado, you can tell a lot about a person from their tattoos. “I’d venture to say you could even guess nationality based on what style of tattoos they have, but the most obvious answer to me would be how much they have (or haven’t) invested in their tattoos,” he said.
Alvarado argues that this isn’t only monetary investment but also in terms of research, time, and dedication. “Getting a good tattoo is sometimes a very multi-faceted process that could even include travelling to see a specific artist. Things like this can tell you how knowledgeable, patient and committed a tattooed person can be.”
Any kind of hate symbol/speech is going to be a no from me.
It's a racist and then turns part of its skin black to show you its a racist. Mf morons
Frankly, I only judge people for racist tattoos. I don't care otherwise nor do I care where people put their tattoos.
I do tend to judge people with bad tattoos but solely because it generally means a) you didn't care to do your research or b) you're a cheap f**k. But I try not to just for the few people out there that got scammed by someone saying they were something they weren't.
Why can you be proud of being gay, or black, or trans, or Hispanic, or an atheist or one of the 50 new genders but if you say you're proud to be white you're automatically a racist? THATS RACIST!!
F**k off! White people aren't persecuted and threatened with death in more than 50 countries only because they exist! They aren't systematically pushed out of society because of their skin color! They didn't have to fight over decades for basic rights! F**k! Off!

Wow, there are a LOT of unapologetic racists in this comment stream, that's just scary.
Yeah, and it's pitiful how many other cowardly racists have upvoted their comments and agree with them. BoredPanda censors idiotic words like c**p and d**k yet they do absolutely nothing to get rid of the now constant racism and homophobia on this site-- it's freaking sad.

If this person ever comes to their f*ing senses, at least this one looks like it could be hidden with a cover-up. I have hopes.
What that generally says to me is that they went to the penitentiary.
White Pride is a nazi hooligan group in my town. Imagine a group of bald, young men high on hatred and amphetamine. Most pathetic losers I’ve seen.
as someone whose family works in a tattoo parlor, dont trust any tattoo artist who would willing put this stuff on people
As a tatt artist I have to mildly disagree with your comment. I'm constantly inking things that go against my morals and values just because I ink it doesn't mean I agree or support it in any way but I also knew it was going to be part of the job when I started.

How is this racist? I'm sure there are plenty of black, Asian and native people that have similar tattoos. I know for a fact that "native pride" is a very common phrase and tattoo choice.

Wow the ignorance in all these damn comments no there is no issue with being proud of your race yes there is an issue when you use ss bolts it goes from being proud to being a dip s**t half these commenters don't know the difference between being in the Nazi camp and the kkk so should honestly keep the dumb a*s comments to themselves and for the record to the one that wrote about the swastika sadly the Nazi camp turned it into a symbol of hate but it was a pagan symbol for centuries and it wasn't a symbol of hate
I am white and I am proud. If you don't like it. Go f**k yourself your the racist one. My ancestors fought to free the slaves but that dosnt fit your naritive of all whites are racist
My WHITE family came to America 1902 helped build railroad, fought in Korea, became police officers and mechanics. None of us have ever THOUGHT of owning a person of any color at any point. But we sit back and watch ethnicities with lower grades than us (I knew them they ditched school to go get high) given grants and scholarships, reduced rent AND supplemental income SOLEY based on their great great great grandaddy was a slave, I was denied FAFSA assistance because "my parents make too much money" (my mother was a career retirement home hairdresser and step-dad went from corrections officer to government file Clerk, we did not have much "extra" money, let alone any investments stocks or any of that "wealthy person" stuff. We played the lotto once a week. I felt ties to the boy from the chocolate factory movie lol) But it's okay to be a complete clowns a*s like Lil Wayne. Look how much paper he's stacking! America is an ABSOLUTE joke anymore. Somebody nuke us! PLEASE!

Look at the nazi lightning bolts. It's thinly veiled hate. It should say white trash
White guy, from behind.....waiting for another skin head to come up and give him lovin
But if it was black power it would be OK. Whote pride is just being proud of your heritage. Who ever came up with these is an idiot, nerdy liberal
Nobody talks about the Black Fist. The Black Panthers. You think there's whites IN the crips and bloods? Uh uh them are "independent contractors" my man. But I can't be proud of my heritage, the race to discover nuclear fission, or to put a man on the moon. Nonono let's all worship the basketball players that invented peanut butter...

Did ever occur to anyone here he maybe did that In response to black pride? I personally would not put either on me as I do not differentiate by color but I can understand how a person might want to stand up for themselves when we have all these loser trying to say people are evil just because they are white. I will agree racism is terrible but today there is far more racism against whites then there are against any other nationality and it all needs to stop. And the only way to bring it to an end is stop programs which separate people by race such as CRT, Affirmitive action along with stop feeding groups like BLM and the KKK.
I work with someone who yells black pride all the time, this is the same.
Imagine being proud to be a shitty hateful human being. Weird thing to be proud of.
Wow. What an incredibly disgusting and racist comment.

So with bad tattoos, sometimes it's because we're a good friend, and allow people to practice on us. I have a tattoo of flames on my leg. It's not bad actually, but it doesn't have any significance to me, except I had a friend who wanted to try something on my leg.
These days, it seems we're becoming increasingly fragmented and the loudest voices in the human herd are seeming to take precedence at the expense of (really) the majority (of us white folks). I'm a little pissed, not apologetic about the colour of my skin, but we seem to be taking the blame for every friggin thing that's gone wrong with everyone else's life.
It's people themselves who are racist who make pathetic remarks about someonesome believe.
I am sorry but I do not understand this, isn't it racist saying people can have black pride tattoos but not white pride?
But saying black pride is okay. White people aren't allowed to have pride is that it??
Not one "Black Gorilla" or "Black Power" tattoo yet. Guess black prison gangs and tattoos aren't racist. Just white people can be "racists" these days. Sure are plenty of the self-loathing losers on here.
I have interacted with a Veteran at the VA hospital before that has not just lightning bolts, but a swastika on his hand and an anti-Muslim one on his neck. First thing I ever said to him was “so what’s up with the job stoppers?” and he confirmed that he is indeed a Nazi.
Why is it racist to be proud of being with , brown black or Asian pride is not considered racist
Uh, maybe because of the huge a*s SS lightning bolts? Just a wild guess.

Load More Replies... Why is this considered racist? Are white people not allowed to be proud of their heritage? Would you hold the same standards if you saw a black man with a tattoo that said "black pride"? Sounds hypocritical to me
Did both of you not see the huge SS bolts? Literally a Nazi symbol and racist.
Load More Replies...And when it comes to the tattoo trends, Alvarado said that there are a multitude of them going on right now and it would depend on where you live, mostly.
“Custom lettering seems really popular at the moment. I’ve seen a lot of very delicate, very intricate Korean-style tattoos lately, and on the opposite end of that, there’s a lot of heavy blackouts going on as well, but it seems all styles seem to be flourishing and being taken to the next level all over the world.” He added that he is mainly a realism artist “and the art I see on social media nowadays usually leaves me in total awe!”
Childhood characters doing something unsavory. Like Winnie the Pooh in a dominatrix outfit. Decapitated Pikachu. Something like that.
Anything political or weed-related. It tells me that has become their identity, basically.
And when it comes to tattoos that seem to be out of fashion, Alvarado said that from what he can see, the '90s tribal style is definitely on its way out. “The majority of cover-ups we’ve done at my studio usually involve some sort of tribal that the client got ages ago when they were ‘cool’ but no longer reflects their taste and personality. But with trends being so cyclical, who knows, maybe tribal will come back in a big way soon!”
Baby’s faces, find it really unnerving, especially on the calf or top of arm. Why does it keep looking at me?
Adorable photograph of a sweet sleeping baby on the left. The love child of Gollum and Sloth on the right.
Anything in a language they don’t speak/have a connection to
Yeah, big regret for me there. Being 19 and stupid, I would seriously like to get rid of it, totally screams whitetrash while at the beach now 😐
The number 88. It's used in the Aryan Brotherhood as an abbreviation for Hail Hitler (explanation: H is the 8th letter of the alphabet)
Meanwhile, Adam, the studio manager at Vagabond Tattoo parlor, argues the opposite. He believes that tattoos don't really say anything. “There are so many different styles out there at the moment and it's so varied that you have people with different styles tattooed on them.” Having said that, Adam added that “one thing I would say is that if someone has a body suit or a large-scale piece, then they are a committed, dedicated person!”
When asked what kind of tattoos have been trending lately, Adam said it’s tribal tattoos that are having a comeback at the moment, but in a new form. “I've seen lots of biomechanical-esque tribal recently, so that may be a new trend.” Moreover, Adam said that “the 'fine line' style is probably the most popular but I don't think anything is the least fashionable right now,” when asked about tattoos which have gone out of style.
“Loyalty” The people I see with this tattoo, they usually don’t appear to be the loyal type
Sort: Exes names
Placement: Face
As the Covid-19 pandemic is over and people are getting back to their normal lives, you may wonder if the initial pandemic-induced surge in people’s interest in getting some ink is over. However, Adam said they have been pretty consistent throughout the pandemic and post-pandemic. “I'd say once we came out of each lockdown was the busiest time period with people wanting to get a tattoo,” he added.
eyeball. As in having your eyeball colored permanently. No, just no. Use cool contacts. Dont take the chance of blinding yourself.
Tear drop under the eye
A teardrop under the eye, if just an outline, Usually means the wearer has suffered pain, or more likely caused pain, or served significant time, for their associates (gang). Perhaps 15 years. A filled- in solid teardrop Usually means the wearer has caused death for their associates (gang).
I thought it meant they made bad choices. I have seen it some quite young people
And now that the summer heat is sizzling and everyone’s getting into the beach mood, more people than ever are willing to get themselves a piece of body art. “Summer is always peak tattoo season! As soon as you start showing more skin, then all you see is the empty space,” Adam told us. However, he added that it's probably the worst time to get a tattoo in terms of healing, but it's definitely their busiest time of the year.
Brand logos of any kind. If you like any corporation enough to get their logo tattooed on you, I’m guessing we have some major ideological differences.
People often do it when companies offer free food in return. Not that that justifies it.
Comedy and tragedy masks. First three people I hooked up with had them in places you couldn’t see with clothes on.
Apparently I have a type.
If I unwrap another human and find one, I may faint.
my coworker married another coworker.. Prior to that wedding.. he asked her to prove to her how much she loved him. So she got a tattoo on her neck with his last name on it.--BIG artistic letters.
Now.. mind you.. this man is a douchebag and a half. and they have "issues" in their marriage.. that tattoo just proves how much self love she had for HERSELF.. which is absolutely 0.
Now before any of you comment let me tell you what she is like. She's very introverted and never speaks up. this guy controls what she eats, what she wears, and he has no shame in telling us to shut the eff up, if we stick up for her... and HR doesn't do anything about it.
This girl still sticks with him. When we ask her why.. she gets quiet and says.. she doesn't have a car and begs us not to get involved.
SO seeing their partner's name on a very clearly visible area while the partner does not have any tatz is a major red flag.
A “Punisher” tattoo. Especially if they’re in any sort of authority position.
Biggest red flag is if it's a cop. The original punisher comic had him going after corrupt police and politicians. Police have since tried to claim the symbol means "no mercy". It's a massive red flag that whoever has it has temper issues and a lack of self control that they see as a badge of honor. F**k those people.
Erogenous zone.
I’m nobody’s idea of a love god, but I’m reasonably capable of finding your happy spots without garish billboards to guide the way. You’re a partner, not a cheesy amusement park.
A few encouraging words and movements is more than enough.
Lips on the neck
Is that a thing? Edit: I googled it. It is indeed a thing. Not a good thing.
I was once friends with a girl who had ten tattoos, all of which were matching tattoos with other girl friends. She’s no longer friends with any of them. Two big red flags there- intense codependent friendships, many enemies/falling outs with past friends. She even tried to get me to do a matching tattoo with her once. No thanks.
I do understand that, but some probably find it a funny/nice reminder of a time they lived through.
I used to work at an all purpose gas station in Pittsburgh, and was constantly told about a customer who had our store logo tattooed on his arm.
Didn't make me proud, made me feel like I was joining a very corporate cult.
A tattoo of their own face... Unless they're Steve-O.
An inspirational quote tatted on someone screams they're trying desperately to prove something to themselves.
Stupid baseless words like “Pay2play” or “Boss movezzzz”
It's rather inexplicable, but Tweety Bird tats attract the worst
Ever notice how almost any woman who exist with this type of tattoo (and lets face it, men simply don't get Tweety Bird tatts for whatever reason) tends to be SUPER unhealthy in their general lifestyle and life choices?
I know this guy with a tattoo across his collar bones that says “Uneducated genius"
I think this might just be an Australian thing but having the southern cross tattoo anywhere is a red flag.
Don't know why it's specifically the southern cross but holy s**t every person I've ever met with that specific tattoo has been a walking red flag
It is the Australian version/meaning as the Confederate flag
Cheetah print 🚩🚩
I swear guys with roses on their hands are generally a**holes.
A rose on the hand typically tends to mean "if things get heated, I'm genuinely not above hitting the woman I'm with."
Being a tattooist for 11/12 years. Really in my eyes it’s usually people with not well done house tattoos who throw up the most red flags.
Thinking they are owed something and plain rude especially when someone is about to stab you lol
In no way am I trying to say house tattoos are bad what I’m saying is the sense of self entitlement and the need to have it done then and there breeds a different type of client that is usually rude or is an a*****e in my experience.

I met this woman at a party once who had a lot of tattoos which she told me about when I took an interest. One of them was a tattoo of a fish, which she explained with major eye-rolls was a matching one she'd gotten with some girl she had a fling with while holidaying overseas. In a fit of romance they got matching tattoos of a fish and a bird. Because, you know, they love each other but they're from two different worlds. By the time I met her she was 100% over the whole thing and said it was a really stupid thing to do.
how many people are like me and searched this to see if any of their tattoos made this list?
Everyday people get paid to find more and more ways to make people hate each other. That's a trend now. Tattos? Really? How about "BLM", "Vegan", "Trans" tattoos? Those are the most poisonous people
The person that made this is trying really hard to let everyone know they arnt racist xD
I completely disagree with them not having a meaning. I have 32 tattoos and every single one has a special meaning behind it. It's my body and it tells my story
Why is people around here so fast to judge tattoos, that cause.no harm, but get eerily offended when someone mentions weight (which can kill). Ah, the hypocrisy of BP.
My goodness, according to these people there's almost no tattoos one can get!
What it all comes down to is YOU decide what a tattoo means to you. If it means anything. I could get a poo tattoo and it could be in memory of my mother. Who are you to judge.
people with their own last name tattooed on themselves... in case they forget?
I don't like this list. It's pretty clear to everyone that political or racist tattoos are a red flag and should be avoided and that tattoos with a special meaning (like the tear drop) are also... specific but all the others - let people live! I don't have any of these listed tattoos nor do I enjoy looking at them but let people be! I don't care if you have some tacky quote on your arm- as long as you don't judge my tattoos I don't care about yours.

I have a couple in mind. One to honour my cats that have gone on and make me hope for an after life. One because I am a pretty, pretty princess.

Tough one. You would have to be very, very sure of that. (Also I think some artists might refuse to do it?)

I am considering "DO NOT RESUSCITATE" across my chest, just under the scoop shirt neckline. I am older and have no desire to hang around a hospital emergency room or vegetate in ill health at a home. Have read many stories where the paperwork is not found and people are brought back when they didn't want to be. The only tattoo I consider now.
Tough one. You would have to be very, very sure of that. (Also I think some artists might refuse to do it?)
