If you’re looking to express yourself through some permanent artwork etched onto your skin, allow me to suggest that you first consider how you’ll feel about the piece in ten years. How will your parents feel about it? What might your colleagues think? Will your children appreciate it? While I’m usually an advocate for not caring what others think, when it comes to preventing awful and offensive tattoos, a second opinion just might be worth getting.
One Reddit user recently invited others to describe tattoos they’ve encountered that instantly repelled them, so you can find some of their most unfortunate responses down below. Be sure to upvote the ones you can’t believe are permanently on people’s bodies, and keep reading to also find an interview with tattoo artist Xamy of Tattoos Wizard!

First, we were curious how common bad tattoos are. "I think it depends on the country or city, but personally I think they are quite common," Xamy shared. "In my country, people like minimalist style tattoos, which should be done with a fine and clean line, and most of the ones I see aren’t well done."
"It's also very common to see a couple's initials, especially when they have not been in a relationship for long, and it’s quite common for clients to ask for cover ups for the same reason," the artist added.

I forgot what this is, looked it up again: Heil Hitler - h is the eight letter in the alphabet. Although I wouldn't assume anyone having that tattoo is a nazi, might be another meaning to it for them. Ofcourse of the year of their behaviour or appearance points to that direction then it is clear.

Thankfully, however, Xamy says she has not come across many particularly awful or offensive tattoos in her days. However, she says she's seen plenty on the internet. As far as what can be done about those tattoos, the expert says, "Many can be restored, but those that have thickened a lot are best covered or lasered. Cover ups should be done by specialized tattoo artists."

I've been working in shops for the last twenty years. I only tattooed for two years but have been piercing all twenty. The one that's always stuck with me was a young lady getting her boyfriend's name tattooed across her lower back(I wasn't the one doing the tattoo). She leaves excited but comes back a little while later fuming. Turns out the boyfriend was caught in bed with her best friend when she got home. That's the quickest I've seen anyone ask for a cover-up.

Can't walk away exactly because she's my cousin, but this one's a classic. She's half black, strongly identifies as black, and feels like she's supposed to be able to speak Spanish because she's black. (Why she thinks that I still don't understand.) So to demonstrate her blackness, she got a tattoo at the base of her neck that says Atoño siete veces, levantate ocho. ... I do speak Spanish. I stared at it for a while, thinking there must be some double meaning for a word that I wasn't getting. I didn't understand what was wrong until she told me what she thought it said. Fall down seven times, get up eight. Cute, I guess, except what it actually says is Autumn seven times, get up eight. People, please never get a tattoo in a language you're not fluent in. It's not going to end well.

Google translates "Atoño" as "Autumn" but "Atoño siete veces" as "I fall seven times". I know "fall" and "autumn" can have the same meaning, but it added the "I" at the beginning so it clearly means "I fall". Any native Spanish speakers can clear this up?

"Therefore, the most important thing to take into consideration is the portfolio of the tattoo artist you choose."

I was visiting a farm in Florida about 15 years ago in a work exchange/farm kinda thing. I was camping on the property (in the middle of nowhere, mind you) and locals would stop by to chat up the travelers, have a beer, and shoot some guns. Guy pulls up in his truck. The bed of the truck is about a foot deep with empty beer cans. He brought his shotgun and wants to shoot some clay pigeons with me. Dude takes off his shirt and he has a full-chest mural of Abraham Lincoln's assassination at fords theater. The whole situation kinda dawned on me like oh s**t I could easily disappear out here.

"Regarding 'awful tattoos', I think it’s up to each person to decide, as long as they know that it’s a possibility that at some point in their life they may want to cover them up," Xamy added. "So I would suggest areas of the body where they’re not so visible."
The artist can also bear a bit of responsibility when it comes to preventing offensive tattoos. "I personally, as a tattoo artist, would not accept to tattoo serial killers, nor dictators or Nazi symbols or similar, but it's also up to each tattoo artist to decide," the expert shared.

I have a winner! Was at a small rural dive bar in the Midwest years ago & this woman in her 40’s was chatting me up. She was friendly enough & was much more welcome company than the man 3x my age who had hit on me while I ordered a drink. After an hour or two, we started talking about our favorite bands. She, without warning, jumps off the bar stool, bends over, pulls her shirt up halfway in the back, and reveals a large tramp stamp bearing all of the signatures of the members of the boy band Hanson (you know, the guys who sang “Mmm Bop”)… she was absolutely GLOWING with pride & went on to tell me about how she saw them in concert a few years prior, paid an exorbitant amount for backstage passes, managed to get all of their signatures, went to a 24hr tattoo shop afterwards, & got them all tattooed on that night. She was in her THIRTIES when she did this btw. I just sat there kinda shocked, finished my drink, and quickly left.

Ol’ Queen Lizzies face looked like a Tracy Beaker drawing. The picture itself was revolting. His d*ck had like. Shrivelled into his body so it was just stretched out peen-skin with a badly drawn fiver.

I worked at a hospital a woman came in with a intravaginal tattoo of a mushroom. Why?

First time I saw that my husband’s son’s “significant other” had the words DADDY’S GIRL tattooed across her upper chest I had to walk the fuck away….Ick. Just, ick.

Maybe she married when her husband’s son was an adult. That phrasing would make sense in that context IMO

I was once dating this white boy with blue eyes and he had a whole Egyptian scene spanning across his chest and down to his arms. Out of curiosity one day, I asked if he really was into Egyptian culture… his response, “I took an ancestry & me test and it said I’m 1% black”

Egypt is in Africa, maybe that's the connection.

Anything poorly drawn. My ex was a hot guy. He got a wolf tattoo on his chest. Omg, it had crossed eyes and a fat weird face and for some reason pine trees embedded in the fur. Ugh. Just, whyyy

I went on a date with a guy who waited until we were halfway through it to tell me he had 3 children and an ICP tattoo. He asked me if I wanted to go out again and I declined. He asked if it was the kids or the tattoo and I had to be honest, it was the tattoo.Insane Clown Posse. It’s a rap group with clown paint. Their fans are juggalos and juggalettes. foldinthecheese99 explained:

There’s a guy I work with (it’s a large company, so I don’t directly work with him but I see him occasionally) that has a 3%r tattoo on his leg. I’ve also seen a couple of iron crosses. I hate that those kind of people can find employment, tbh.

There's a guy in my town with 'F*ck Off' tattooed on his forehead. He keeps nodding to me whenever I see him, like he knows me. I do not know him - I think I'd remember! I used to nod back (don't know why), but now I just cross the street etc whenever I see him coming. I'm sure he's probably harmless, but it does make you question what kind of mental state you'd have to be in to get that done. Probably not a good one, hence my evasive tactics, but I do feel a little bit guilty for judging him based on what could just have been a temporary moment of madness twenty years ago.
Debbie 2 years ago
If he feels bothered by it he could cover it up with a bandana, make up, have it is removed.... Seeing that would instantly bezig about negative emotions for me. I'd avoid him as well, clearly he wants to be a hermit and not interact with others. Would not stop to help if his car broke down, the message is clear.

Three inch navy stars, one on either side of his neck. So I asked about the navy and his experience - he obviously wanted everyone to know - turns out being in the navy was his lifelong dream, but his tonsils were congenitally too large to work on a submarine so he was assigned something else. He was devastated that he didn’t get his way. Fair enough. The most logical response, then, was to deal drugs to some other navy people and earn himself a dishonorable discharge.

In Russian prison tattoo interpretation, this would imply that he has been imprisoned for 10 years.

Atheists don't say "Hail Satan." Atheists don't believe in God, therefore they don't believe in (God's creation) Satan either.

Mines not as intense as other's here. This chick had a few lines of song lyircs going down her ribcage. Got to admit she looked great topless but then she got a lot less hot so when she didn't even remember what song was tattooed on her body. IDK maybe I'm weird but something about that made her seem a bit ridiculous.

My ex husband got his companys' repo truck tattooed on his back. Massive. Even the phone number is clearly (badly) on the side of the vehicle. He doesn't even drive the repo trucks. He works from home and tells the guys where to go to look for the vehicles.

Went on a date with a guy and he was very eager to take off his shirt which revealed a full back piece of Satan riding a horse. It was very poorly done, and the face had a really derpy look about it. Anyway, I went home after that, I wouldn't have been able to to look at that for anything long term. Not to mention this guy had to use a butter knife to flush his toilet so that should have been my first red flag.

Wawa is a popular and locally prolific Mid-Atlantic U.S. quickie market chain based in Wawa, Pennsylvania: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wawa_(company) ... Overall, the best one I've seen, imo (but Turkey Hill, QuickCheck, and Circle K all deserve respect too)

Had a coworker who wanted to get a set of tattoos, so she went to “this guy” she’d heard did good tattoos. The series of tats she got were lady bugs, representing her kids and her parents, all on various parts of her body. One was on her chest, right above the spot for a mid-low cut top. Another was on the inside of her lower arm. Not sure where the others were (I didn’t ask), but both of them were done so horribly, they looked like cancerous growths within a year. No way did they look like lady bugs, not even right after she had them done.

If scarmods/piercings are allowed... (I think they fit right in anyways so here goes). Went to school with a kid who got a friend to cut a huge 666 on his back and returned the favor with a pentagram. Was a sort of sensational day when he stepped out of the gym dressing room without a shirt because ofcourse he was dared and ofcourse half the school saw it lol. I sometimes wonder how the scar would look today and if he's comfortable shirtless on a beach. I knew the dude fairly well throughout the years and i think he still doesn't give a *** what others think of him which I've always respected. So if this dude "T.S" happens to read this. Well, still cool. Never had a problem personally. But that stuff was crazy lol

This reminds me of my happily misspent youth, when I followed a charming red headed fellow home only to discover his body was covered in clown tattoos. Like… covered. I froze in horror when he took his shirt off, like a deer in the headlights of a very full clown car. In retrospect, my favorite tattoo was the line of clown shoe tracks encircling his bicep. I try not to remember the others when I close my eyes to go to sleep *shudders*

Whenever I see a person who's a neo-Nazi or in that area.... it strikes me that many of them would themselves very likely have been sent to a labor camp in the 1930s or 1940s. Not because of ethnicity, sexual orientation or political view. But because they are usually under the category of "anti-socials", which consists of people who can't/won't hold a job, are alcoholics or criminals. So whenever I meet a neo-Nazi and they fit in the anti-social group I will laugh so hard internally. Because I am not brave enough to risk having my a** kicked. Lol.
