15 Failed Tattoos That Were Major Mistakes

Whether you're into tattoos or not, you can agree that these examples should have never been inked. Sometimes, it's the artist's fault, and they made something truly disappointing compared to what the customer asked for. Other times, the customer just asked for something completely ridiculous that was bound to look absolutely horrible. And in even worse situations, the customer wasn't a customer at all, they just DIY-ed it themselves. All of them are pretty rough to look at, and we can't imagine spending the rest of our lives proudly flaunting it or shelling out thousands of dollars to get it removed.

Tattoo fails are scary enough to make even the most devoted tattoo fans fear their next work of art. While many people have beautiful and intricate tattoos, sometimes a drunk guy outside the local Renaissance fair wakes up with a sobering reminder of how permanent they really can be. Here are some of the funniest times tattoos didn't go as planned.
