There’s bad luck, and then there’s tattooing “No Regerts” across your chest in Comic Sans. I don’t know what’s worse. The misspellings, the wonky portraits , or the sheer confidence some of these folks had walking out of the shop like “nailed it.”
These tattoo fails are the kind of choices that scream, “it seemed like a good idea at the time,” and whisper, “laser removal is expensive.” From inspirational quotes gone horribly wrong to ink that looks like it was done mid-earthquake, this collection is a permanent reminder that not all ideas need to live on your skin forever.
Let’s just say these tattoos are unforgettable… for all the wrong reasons.
