Tattoo artists often recognize poor designs and may suggest changes or discourage getting the tattoo altogether. However, some clients insist on getting what they want.
In the case of these images, the artist used their skills to make the best out of a bad situation. Occasionally, these attempts result in surprisingly good tattoos that are both cringe-worthy and well-executed and are shared on the internet where they elicit both disgust and admiration.
The Awful Taste But Great Execution community on Reddit is filled with examples of unique and creative masterpieces. Here are some of the most imaginative tats these skilled artists completed, despite the unusual requests.
