These People Got Bad Tattoos Without Realizing It And They’re Hilarious

1. They Even Copied the Nipple

A lot of poeple take in a picture of what they want or their inspiration when they go to get a tattoo done. But, this tattoo artist took this very literally.They've not only copied the tattoo but the body too. They have literally tattooed an image of the other man's nipple onto this guys arm. I'm pretty sure this is not what he meant or what he was expecting.

2. An Inspirational Poem

Unfortunately Dave actually had this poem written on his back...forever. Not even somewhere discreet, but right in the middle for everyone to see.  We aren't sure if this was a serious decision - or a serious misjudgement.There's no saving grace here, there is nothing poetic or meaningful about it whatsoever. There's one thing for sure, he won't be giving up his day job any time soon.

3. Voldemort Style

We can all picture the moment when Professor Quirrel from Harry Potter has Voldemort on the back of his head. This man has a full face on the back of his head. And it doesn't stop there.He actually has shaped the hair on the back of his head to make it look like the eyebrows and moustache. It's kind of freaky and also kind of cool in a very strangely fascinating kind of way.

4. Oriental Tattoos

Oriental tattoos became really popular. You can have whatever word of phrase you like, in a different language. But, the thing you really need to check is what it actually means in the other language.This guy has Chinese writing on his arm. But, he's made a mistake and now there is no meaningful name or inspirational quote. It literally translates as turkey sandwhich.

5. An Artistic Mole

This is definitely one way to embrace your blemishes. Instead of ignoring it, or having it removed...this guys has really made the most of it.He's used it as a basketball and then had a silhoutte of Michael Jordan drawn underneath so that it appears like he's doing a slam dunk. It's unusual but pretty creative at the same time. But, I'm not sure he's about to create a new trend.

7. A Nipple in a Hat

It turns out that nipple tattos are a thing. Yet, usually if someone gets one, they looks good. Or, at least they probably put a lot more thought into it than this guy. He's created a kind of Spanish amigo.And it looks pretty bad. But, at least he's always got company. We aren't really sure what this guy was thinking but hopefully he likes it at least.

8. Jon Bovi Lyrics

This surely cannot have been done by a proffessional. It must have been drawn by someone who had never used a tattoo gun.And, the real irony here is the fact that this person loves Bon Jovi so much that they have one of his famous lyrics tatooed on their body. Yet, they cannot even spell his name right.

9. Abstract Tiger

The drawing skills here are definitely questionable. If you were going to get a big tattoo all over your body then you'd think you would make sure your tattoo artist could draw.And in this case, it seems like they couldn't. The face is especially abd. Unless, they were going for the unrealistic abstract kind of effect...

10. Tiger On Fleek

Okay, here's another tiger tattoo (we think), and it's equally terrible if not worse. This Tiger has one eye with a bold winged liner look, and the other au naturale.The dimensions and position of this tiger are all wring. It kind of looks like it's got a tail sticking out of it's front. Or, like he has a tiny body and super sized head.

11. Mini Muscle Man

There are no mistakes here, in fact the tattoo itself is pretty good. It creates  a very strange illusion that there is a mini muscly man popping out of his chest that has the same head as him. As an illusion effect, it's good.But, as a a look - we aren't so sure. It's pretty weird and we're not sure that his future partner is going to be as much of a fan of it as he clearly is.

12. A Big Mess

You may be wondering what this is actually meant to be, because it looks like a big mess. It was supposed to be a galaxy. We aren't sure what has happened but what we do know is that it definitely does not look like a galaxy.It's more like some kind of disease or even a kind of brain. Whoever the tattoo artist was, they cannot have been proud of this one.

13. Marilyn Monroe?

Someone here paid for a tattoo of Marilyn Monroe's face. And instead what they got was some kind of image from a horror movie. The outline was going fine...then it came to filling in the face and it all went seriously downhill.As for the eyes, they're couldn't have been less in line. The main problem is, is that the result is fairly scary. It's definitely not a tribute to the glamorous Monroe.

14. Snake Man

Unlike the majority of the tattoos we've seen so far - this one os actually too good. Because, the effect is too realistic. This man literally looks like he has scaly legs.The effect is so three dimensional that it looks as though it really would be scaly to touch. Props to the tatto artist, but why this man want a permanently scaly leg we do not know.

15. Homer Vs Charles Burns

Here we have a serious Simpson fan. We have to appreciate the fact that this person has created their very own Simpson yin yang.On the light side is Homer, and on the dark side os Charles Burns face. It's definitely not the worst we've seen, its pretty clever and Simpson fans out there will appreciate it at least.

16. Spelling Mistakes

This is a rookie tattoo error - spelling mistakes. Either the person requesting the tattoo had written them down wrong. Or, the tattoo artist cannot spell.Either way, the spellings of hope and yourself are way off the mark. Instead the result is completely illegible. And, what was supposed to be inspirational is now laughable.

17. Gear Stick Fail

This gear stick tatoo is a complete mess. At first glance it looks fine. Until you realise that it's actually all wrong.This person or the tattoo artist either must not drive or must have an automatic because they do not know how the gears work.  The third gear should be adjacent to the fourth gear.

18. Eminem or M&M

When you love Eminem...but you also love M&Ms. Then, the best thing to do is to merge them together. This tattoo is not a fail at all. In fact it's purely brilliant. This person has turned the famous rapper Eminem into an M&M.And, the artistry is also very skilled. In fact, his face is so good it looks realistic even despite the fact that it has been turned blue. I wonder what Eminem himself would make of this.

19. Gorilla Head

This tattoo is kind of awful but also kind of cool. The concept itself, it weird. But, the effect has totally been pulled off. At first glance it is hard to tell what is going on here.Getting this precise part of the head shaved and leaving the rest is just part of the effect. The person cutting his hair must get a shock when a gorilla's face is revealed underneath.

20. North South West East

This person definitely hasn't heard of Never Eat Shredded Wheat. Or, any kind of rhyme to help them remember it. They must never have seen a compass either.There are four cardinal directions to remember and this person has managed to get four out of the five wrong. This person not only needs a tattoo removal but also a basic geography lesson.

21. Dog Nipples

We don't even know what to say about this one. There is no explanation. Because, even if the idea had been well executed, it would still be terrible. In fact, it's the idea that is the thing that needs changing.Why you would want dog nipples drawn onto the front of your body is unimaginable. And, because it's not clear what these random circles are, they've had to write the annotation 'dog tits' next to it.

22. Tortoise Speed

This tattoo is good, there's no denying it. The artistry is not the thing to be criticized. But, having a turtoise tattoo all over your head kind of implies that you are a very slow thinker, due to the nature of a tortoise.But, we have to admire the fact that the tattoo itself does look very realistic.

23. Cat Babies

Again, this tattoo is pretty amazing, it looks very realistic. But, instead of babies in the womb it's cats. And, there are also four wombs.This person must really love cats. Also, I have no idea what the bananas are there for. But in terms of the art, we cannot criticize. The concept is very weird though.

24. Anglelina Jolie Gone Wrong

This is meant to be Angelina Jolie. And it's clear what the attempt is. There are parts of this that aren't so bad for example, the hairline. But, overall the effect is quite terrifying.This is more like Angelina Jolie's evil twin. Whatever is going on around the mouth is not a good look. Perhaps the artist would have been better copying a photo where her mouth is shut.

25. A Child's Drawing

When we compare the two drawings it's hard to find the similarities. One, looks proffesional and realistic and would be a good effect for a tattoo.The other, looks like an attempt to copy it by a five year old. Yes, they've managed to get the jagged branch edges. But, why is the stem of the tree so thick.

26. Picture Perfect...Not Exactly

This was supposed to be a portrait of their stepmom on their arm. The idea is really sweet and it's such a shame that the execution is absolutely terrible.Because if we're being honest what should have been a lovely photo to remember has actually turned into a terrifying image. This tattoo artist has a lot to answer for.

27. Fake Glasses

Glasses are usually functional. They help you read, or protect you from the sun or they are a fashion accessory. But why, would somebody want a pair of glasses tattooed onto their face.A permanent pair of non useful glasses in the middle of their face forever. This one is not the fault of the artist, but a completely baffling decision by the man who wanted them. Thankfully, he's smiling about it.

28. Egg Head

This is clearly suuposed to be Benjamin Franklin. Not that anybody would know by looking at this tattoo. It looks like some kind of face on an egg.And, there's next to none resemblance to Franklin. This tattoo was clearly meant to be cool and now it's turned into a laughing stock instead.

29. I'm Vegan

We've heard about the slogan 'I'm vegan' T shirts and the memorobilia with the word vegan on it. But, this takes it to a whole other level. There's extremes and then there's this - getting vegan tattooed onto the top of your head.Her reasoning was that she was tired of having to explain and sick of people serving her meats. That's one way to solve a problem. Let's hope she never changes her mind and decides not to be a vegan anymore or she'll have a lot of explaining to do.

30. Neutered

The reasoning behind this guy's tattoo is very cute. It's just a shame that is was totally misunderstood. He did not understand that the symbol was to signify that he was neutered.And now, in honour of his dog he also has a tatoo that suggests he is neutered. The thought behind the sentiment was definitely there, but it's still terrible.

31. Grumpy Pikachu

The only thing we can say for this tattoo is we can tell what they were trying to do. We can tell that this is Pikachu...of sorts.The face is where the tattoo really goes doenhill. But, for some reason this Pikachu looks very angry. Almost as if he's sat on the toilt...

32. Tiger Flower

We don't know what the idea behind this tattoo was, but the execution looks like that of a child. And, unfortunately, it happens to look like a load of plasters attached to its head.Everything about this tattoo is terrible, right diwn to the lobsided smile/grimace of the tiger. In fact, most children could do better than this. 

33.  Red Nosed Tiger

There is one thing in this tattto which can't be ingored. One thing that takes all of the attention. The tattoo is bad as a whole, but the nose of the tiger just takes it to a new level.For some reason it's a big red blob. The girl witht he tattoo actually claims that this was the reason her boyfriend left her. It's a terrible tattoo but it's an extreme reaction.

34. Baby Face, Lauging to Crying

What it's meant to look like vs what it is. On the left, there is a very cute picture of a baby which is chuckling happily.It's clear why the person has picked this picture to get tattooed on their body. But, the baby tattoo actually looks in pain and it also kind of looks like an old man.

35. An Eagle On His Forehead

This uncle thought it would be a good Christmas suprise to get a tattoo od an eagle on his forehead. We cannot deny that it is very effective, particularly the way the beack and eyes mirror his eyes and nose.But, it turns out there were no Christmas parties that year. Maybe it was not a good idea after all. Then again, the tattoo artist has real talent.

36. One Way Not To Lose Your Socks

This man had socks tattooed on his ankles. It's an extreme way to make sure that you never mismatch or lose your socks.Then again, he'll still need to wear socks so the point of this tattoo is unknown. Perhaps he loves socks, but hates to have them on his feet. Who knows.

37. Onion Pits

This really is one way to suggest that you smell. Having an onion tattooed onto your armpit. These are two things that can smell. And judging by the blue ring around the onion it's even going mouldy.So, why combine them together. I'm not sure what this girl was thinking but judging by the look on her face she's very happy with it. Nobody wants to be called onion pits.

38. Unusual Hair Growth

This guy has unusual hair growth on his arm. it's a random hairy patch. Instead of shaving or hiding it this guy has really embraced it and celebrated it.He's used it as part of his picture. He's made it into a troll doll by using his arm hair for it's head. Who can't love that? Even if it is kind of terrible.

39. It Could Be Chucky

We think that this is a tattoo of chucky. But, it's so bad that we can't really tell. one thing we do hope is that it wasn't supposed to be a picture of a child that has gone horrible wrong.In this case, the tattoo is bad, and the tattoo artist is also bad. I don't think this will be giving anybody tattoo inspiration.

40. Polka Dot Abs

There was a craze where people started getting a tattoo of a six pack on the stomach to try and make it look as though they had one.This guy clearly did not want to get a real one and so he's opted for the tattoo option. For some reason he's decided to get it dotted onto his skin. The effect makes it look as though he has a lot of hair folicles.
