45 Funny “Awful Taste But Great Execution” Tattoos The Tattoo Artist Should Never Have Let Happen

Let’s be honest—tattoo artists have one of the toughest jobs out there. Not only do they need to have incredible skill and precision, but they also have to deal with some truly wild requests from clients. And sometimes, those requests lead to tattoos that are… well, let’s just say they’re a mix of awful taste and great execution.

You’ve got to wonder what goes through a tattoo artist’s mind when someone insists on getting something questionable inked permanently on their skin. Do they try to talk the client out of it? Or do they just shrug and say, “Hey, it’s your body”?

Either way, these artists have done their job well—even if the design itself leaves you scratching your head.
