Life-Ruining Tattoos That Make You Want Off This Planet

The stories are legendary... errors made when selecting tattoos under duress, heightened emotions, weakened relationships, or substance influence. But in the end, you alone are responsible for your ink. What follows is a gathering of standout people that boast tattoos that everyone will take pictures of... just for all the wrong reasons.

Star Light, Not Too Bright

The undeniable top of the bad idea list goes to this winner, whose drunk-night-out ended with a fantastically poorly done night sky scattered across her mug. Clearly already on the phone planning its future removal before the morning’s end, her facial ink proves the hard truth: when in doubt, try it out with a Sharpie first.

On the bright side, at least for the people around her the stars will be out every night. I wonder if there are any hidden constellations? probably not, that would take too much thought.

When Millennials Take it Too Far

What we have here is a millennial that decided to get their love for all things avocado tattooed on them for life. Apparently, simply posting pictures on Instagram of their avocado toast or letting everyone know how much they love guacamole just isn't enough. Nope, they have to get it tattooed, and not just anywhere, but their armpit.

This tattoo is a real home-run. I hope whoever got this gets free guacamole for life at Chipotle after this bold move. I didn't know it was possible, but this person may have just managed to make avocados unappealing. Thanks, man.

Got My Order?

There's a fine line between loving something and being totally and completely delusional. At this point it seems that Stian Ytterdahl from Norway is the latter. Yes, that is a tattoo of his McDonald's receipt, which doesn't look like a terrible order if I knew Norwegian.

ADVERTISEMENT

Nevertheless, there are few food orders in this life that anyone should get tattooed onto their body in such a visible spot. If that isn't dedication, I don't know what is. Go get yourself a Big mac Stian, you've earned it, but refrain from getting that receipt tattooed on you please.

We can’t be totally sure who this is. It appears as though it started off as Marilyn, but then something went horribly, horribly wrong. Maybe some anti-itch cream, perhaps? She looks like a decomposing corpse that was left out in the sun. Was this the intent? Hopefully not.

ADVERTISEMENT

Either way, it takes a certain type of person to want to have this overused picture of Marilyn Monroe tattooed on them for life, and something tells me this isn't their only horrendous tattoo. More likely than not, they don't even really know who Marilyn Monroe is other than "she's hot".

Aaron Carter's Massive Medusa Tattoo

Aaron Carter has seemingly been in a downward spiral for a while, including dealing with addiction problems and a very public feud with brother Nick. In September of 2019, he debuted a massive tattoo on his face. The singer, 31, took to social media to share a pic of the large face tattoo. He captioned it, "IM THE BIGGEST THING IN MUSIC RIGHT NOW. I CANT BE DENIED."

ADVERTISEMENT

It turns out that the tattoo could have been even larger if he'd had his way. His ink artist, RockRollG, told TMZ that Carter wanted even more tattoos on his face. He "wanted to keep going and I had to stop him. I couldn't cover his whole face in a tattoo. I just couldn't," he said.

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say that's a tattoo of a baby's face. At least I hope it is. I wonder what was going through this guys mind when he had the brilliant idea to get this creature-looking child with beady little black eyes on his face. Nothing probably, but that can't be unusual for this person.

A nice touch of the tattoo is also how it partially goes onto his earlobe without any real reason to, except to make it look even dumber than it already does. Congratulations on the kid man, good luck with the rest of your life.

Oh man, where do we even start? The band, or the tattoo? There's nothing wrong with having a favorite band, there's even nothing wrong with even being obsessed with your favorite band. However, there is something wrong with getting a full-blown back tattoo of your favorite band that looks like it was drawn by an 8th grader.

If the tattoo didn't say Green Day in its questionable tramp stamp location, who knows what this tattoo is about. I hope it looked better on paper and that this was a huge mess-up, because if not, there are no words for this guy or his love for Green day.

Think she reps Team Meek Mill or Team Drake? What a classy way to show support for your favorite hip hop artist. Surely, Drake himself has stumbled upon this on the internet and his response was probably along the lines of, "Oh sweetie, no. C'mon now, what were you thinking?"

ADVERTISEMENT

A similar reaction to anyone that has had their day ruined by stumbling upon this definition of a mistake. There's only one thing that could make this tattoo worse, if it got infected, which it looks like its well on its way to being. Maybe Drake will pay for its removal so he doesn't have to live with the guilt of you doing that to yourself.

This is Sylvain Helaine. He is covered in tattoos and even had the whites form his eyes surgically removed. And before a parent complained about his unique ink, he was a kindergarten teacher in France.

Helaine says getting tattoos is his passion, and once people get to know him they aren't scared of him, "It's only when people see me from far away that they can assume the worst." Since losing his teaching job, Helaine has found other opportunities in education. Hopefully his ink doesn't cost him another job!

Not even really positive what's going on here except that tattoo is awful. Pretty sure that's the screen you see when your computer is about to randomly shut down and you lose everything you were just working on.

ADVERTISEMENT

This usually makes people want to punch their computer screen, but not this guy, he'd rather tattoo it all over his right arm so he can be reminded of it every second of his life. One would think that with a tattoo like that, this guy may not have the brain capacity to even turn on a computer, let alone restart it, which is why he had to get it tattooed on him.

This guy went so far as to get his entire face inked. It must have been a brutal session to sit through- even his eyelid and lip are tattooed. We hope this guy already found the love of his life, and she loves him regardless because we have a feeling he's going to have a hard time meeting any women now.

We wonder if he took inspiration from the checkered tapestry in the background. Up next: we get it, you like music!

Also, this tattoo needs to be updated ASAP, they left out The Jonas Brothers, Good Charlotte, and even Disturbed, but hey, at least they got to see Nickelback and Gwen twice In all seriousness, I hope this tattoo is either in a very hidden spot or at least a joke, because if not, this individual probably had a very rough young adult life.

Poor Bon Jovi, this "supposed" fan is tarnishing his name and music. Not only is the handwriting atrocious, but the grammar is so wrong it's funny, and he doesn't even know Bon Jovi's real name. I wonder who's at fault here, the amateur tattoo artist or the fool that likes this Jon Bovi character a little too much?

Either way, it doesn't take that much effort to turn your head to make sure everything is going smoothly. However, something tells me this guy couldn't bear to watch or just couldn't t even see through his tears.

Sometimes once you're inked up past the point of no return, you can get away with some crazy tattoos with no questions asked. However, when your skin is as clear as they day you were born and you get "Jeb 4 Prez" tattooed on your neck, it might raise some eyebrows.

Is this for Jeb Bush, maybe a friend running for senior class president? I guess it doesn't even matter. All this guy can do is hope that some serious beard growing genes run in his family or that tattoo removal technology skyrockets ASAP.

Something tells me that this isn't actually a tradition that his entire family participates in. If it is, that must be quite the Christmas card. But hey, at least this isn't his only face tattoo. He also has a pretty star, and even what looks like a filled in rectangle on his temple.

All kinds of good decisions here. It's tattoos like this that make me wonder if tattoo artists have any form of moral compass to maybe suggest that he should sleep on it before he decides to get something like this done to his face.

I'm sure that at one point in time, this tattoo seemed like a brilliant idea to this hot dog lover, but sometimes you need to think outside of the moment and into the future. is your future wife (if you find one) really going to be okay with you sporting that at the neighborhood pool party, or is it still going to be funny in 20 years? Probably not.

The hot dog lover guy and this lady should probably get together and scarf down some dogs together, and while they're at it get some more ridiculously awful meat-related tattoos! It's a match made in heaven. This lady is a complete meat fanatic, I mean vegans don't even have such tattoos dedicated to their lifestyle diet.

It appears someone has not got the training wheels off their tattoo gun just yet. Hopefully, that was just a test run with Sharpie or something. Nevertheless, nowadays, this tattoo could be a hipster's dream. Rugged yet simple, a great discussion piece to spark up any conversation at your local gin bar.

Whoever got this done also probably has a minimalist arrow running down their wrist, or an infinity sign on one of their fingers. They also probably spend their evenings at "secret" art shows with equally as impressive art pieces as their tattoo.

The bad armpit tattoo tradition continues. What happened to leaving some things up to the imagination? And is that an ONION? I wouldn't want to advertise an onion odor anywhere near my pits.

ADVERTISEMENT

Also, I didn't want to go here, but I think that a whole onion tattoo would have at least helped to avoid any misunderstanding of the tattoo at first glance, if you catch my drift. Regardless what the tattoo even is, there's really no explanation for any type of pit tat, especially of the onion variety.

They could've just gotten a simple All-Star logo somewhere on their body to commemorate this timeless show, but no, they had to actually have it tattooed on their foot. Also, if you're going to go this far, you might as well get the whole shoe tattooed.half of it is missing so it looks dumber than it already is.

You don't even need to type it in these days, you can just talk to your phone and it will tell you how to spell it. Apparently, this guy was so confident in his spelling of courage that he didn't even need to look. Wonder if he knows its spelled wrong to this day?

You know a tattoo is a fail when even a newborn baby recognizes how bad it is. This infant can’t seem to tear his or her new eyes away from the circle that’s permanently inked around Mom’s eye.

That’s a real look of shock there! To be fair, this new mom probably looks a lot better when she’s fully made up and in character, but her tat really doesn’t seem to fit into this photo of an otherwise beautiful and natural scene. I bet the baby is a little nervous about whether it will be expected to get a matching tattoo.

Nothing like some good old-fashioned Australian patriotism. Once again, this person could have gotten their point across so much more effective and tastefully if they had just kept it simple or maybe asked for a little bit of advice from a friend.

ADVERTISEMENT

I mean, come on, the two tattoos are two completely different shades, and those stars are so 90's. Perhaps, the most hilarious part of this masterpiece is not the kangaroo, nor the love of pointed emblems, but that the shape of the stars actually, just barely, resembles Australia.

This is one messed up decision. The subject and location are both questionable. I'm going to assume this guy is in a chair himself and isn't making fun of others who are. But maybe I'm giving him too much credit and he's a jerk who makes fun of handicapped people.

Why the nipple man, why? There are no many other locations on a person's body that could make this a meaningful tattoo. Now, not only do people have to see your thoughtlessly placed tattoo, but now they're eyes will be diverted to your nipple, jerk.

This is the stuff nightmares are made of. This is the kind of thing crawling around in the seventh circle of hell while you're forced to shave it's head alongside Judas for eternity. While everyone else is startled by this tattoo, do you look at your skin and smile? I bet you do.

Something also tells me that this isn't the first regret they've had in their life, they just had to get a tattoo to convince themselves otherwise. I can only imagine what's on the other arm...

Did you lose an eye and this is your form of eye-patch? If so, that's kind of cool, if not, you're weird. This was probably the guy in college who said he wasn't looking for a relationship because he feared commitment but then went and did something like this during his mid-life crisis.

I wouldn't be surprised. Also, lets not forget about the classy face swastikas or the random circle tattooed around his eye. Well, on the bright side, this guy looks like he's in prison, probably for the better. More time for him to add onto his prison tat collection.

Gucci Mane's lyrics, "Tattoos on my face it's my face not yours" have some serious meaning here, and at least he owns his interesting face tats.

The only question here is why he decided on such a poor quality tattoo when he has more than enough money for a better one. Yet, considering his past criminal record and rap lyrics, I don't think anyone is going to be telling him it looks bad anytime soon. Keep doing you, Gucci.

What it really looks like is that she came out of a sever blackout, looked down, and realized she was getting a naked lady tattooed on her arm, freaked out, and the rest is history.

When the chair is long gone, it's legacy will live on your arm forever. Hopefully, there is a story behind this chair and has more meaning than this person simply "liked" it or thought it looked cool, so he figured he might as well get a tattoo. Oh, the questions I have.

Also, people tend to know how to draw better than that by the time they're in third grade. Come to think of it, this may the unfortunate situation in which a child got their hands on tattoo gun. In reality, it was probably just another fool with a bright idea to get a tattoo.

Not too sure what this little guy is. A 3-year old's depiction of a Smurf, perhaps? No matter what it is, it's probably something that should be on the refrigerator and not your body for life. But who know's, maybe it's one of those meaningful tattoos people get of their children's drawing.

Aside from the bruised and pale skin, it's hard to look at without smiling a little bit. It sure beats having a scary looking baby covering half of your face, or a big steaming turd on your back.

This tattoo very well might be the influence behind George R.R. Martin's white walker characters in the Game of Thrones series. The facial structure, the bright blue eyes, it's all there. Why it's on the back of this guy's head, I have no idea, but I can definitely see the humor in it.

Honestly, this dude seems to be rocking it confidently, incorporating his hair and everything. it looks like he made the best out his situation and I applaud him for it. I'd probably ask to take a picture with him if I saw him on the street.

I wish I could make out the tattoo on his arm more clearly, but the "STUPID" across his forehead says enough. They used to brand people with similar labels in the Middle Ages as a punishment, but it looks like he did it for fun!

ADVERTISEMENT

At least he saved everyone the time of discovering that he's stupid without him even having to open his mouth. Also, it appears that he's drinking a beer in the car which is stupid, and he doesn't even know how to drink from a bottle, further proving that stupid is as stupid does.

This mother of the year auctioned off space on her forehead on eBay. The highest bidder was GoldenPalace.com, who paid $10,000 to tattoo their URL on her forehead. She desperately needed money to pay for her kid’s Private School.

ADVERTISEMENT

Although the tattoo artist tried to talk her out of it, she insisted. Although surely there are easier ways to make $10,000 than ruining your entire life, what's done is done. The kids probably would have turned out just fine in public school. Yet, if this isn't motherly love, I don't know what is. Only the best for the kids.

Ah ha! Another meat lover down for the cause! It turns out there are more people out there than you may think that felt the urge to get various meats tattooed on them. This wouldn't be an unusual tattoo with just the sunset with the palm tree, but the cheeseburger takes it to a whole new level.

Aside from the inspiration of the cheeseburger tattoo, the other question about this photo is where this is on someone's body. That could make all the difference if this tattoo is kind of fumy or downright sad.

Not Quite Famous

It is a very bold move to get a misspelled tattoo proclaiming that you're finally famous when nobody even knows who you are. Although technically, now she's finally famous enough to be a part of this slideshow of horrendous tattoos that make you want to leave this planet if that's what she means.

Considering her pose, and the way she is showing off her new ink, I'm willing to bet that she put this up on social media to show to all of her other trashy friends.

Hmmm I don't get it. Is this a cheat code or something, or is this girl unnecessarily obsessed with the now far outdated Game Boy? I don't even think that's a Game Boy color, not to mention it looks like it was colored in with colored pencils rather than a tattoo gun.

ADVERTISEMENT

The arrows aren't even color coded which just makes this whole tattoo confusing. Also, I didn't want to bring it up, but why is her belly button so high up on her stomach? It's distracting from the real issue at hand, her tattoo.

Super cliche saying, check. Terrible tattoo placement, check. Avoidable misspelling, check. Awful font, check. A lifetime of regret, check. This guy covered all of the bases on this one. He's right, no dream is too big, however, sometimes one letter can be too big for your tattoo.

This really is unfortunate considering that he probably got this tattoo as an excuse to take of his shirt the next time he goes paintballing with his boys. Now he has to endure a lifelong string of insults about his terrible grammar and poor decision making.

No way this wasn't the result of a drunken bet. I don't care how in touch with his masculinity this guy is, a tat like this is sure to cause a whole lot of good-natured ribbing with his colleagues.

ADVERTISEMENT

The one upside of this tattoo is that he hardly ever has to see it, however, he's forever going to hear whispers behind his back when he's at the beach, or bending down to fix someone's toilet. Also, I guess this cute little butterfly is better than seeing than what we usually assume we're going to see in a picture like this.

Obsessed

I thought it was common knowledge that doing laundry is one of the top five worst things to do on this planet. Most people could go the rest of their lives without hearing or seeing a washing machine ever again. Some people even pay services to come and get their dirty laundry and have it returned to them clean and folded.

ADVERTISEMENT

Not this person, it appears they love doing laundry so much that they figured a tattoo was necessary in order to show the world. It's certainly not the best tattoo, but we need people like this out there that can do the laundry for the rest of us normal people.

This woman tried to get "stars" tattooed on her chest and all we cant imagine how this could happen. Usually tattoo artists with large-scale tattoos like this will show you it halfway or do a stencil so you know what it looks like.

If we were this woman and saw a stencil of what looks like spattered mold on our chest, we would have ran out of that tattoo shop as fast as we could.

I think we've found the world's most dedicated Eric Stoltz/Mask fan. Who else would have Rocky Dennis' poor deformed face inked on themselves for all eternity? One aspect this person didn't think about is that few people under the age of 30 will even know what this tattoo depicts.

ADVERTISEMENT

So essentially, to most people, this is just a tattoo of a disfigured face. Not only is the subject a little odd, but the tattoo isn't very well done either. Also, are those blemishes tattooed as well or does this person just have a skin condition on their arm?

Regret

I'm sure you do my friend. Not only is this tattoo in a hard to cover up spot, the ink looks like it was written in sharpie, and the font looks like the writing on the cover of Harry Potter novels.

ADVERTISEMENT

My guess is that this tattoo was done on a dare. Or maybe it's the ultimate in hipster irony? Either way, I'm sure it leads to a lot of funny conversations with strangers. 10/10 times when that conversation ends, the other person will walk away thinking, "What an idiot".

People Might "Juge" You For This One

That's a perfectly fine belief. I just hope that he believes just as strongly that God is illiterate, because he'll certainly be pissed when he sees this monstrosity if he happens to be a grammar freak.

ADVERTISEMENT

I also hope that this devout young man understands that God is not the grim reaper, and that the grim reaper does not appear anywhere in the Bible. What really makes this tattoo even more cringe-worthy is that "Juge" is in bold. That means they went over it several times without noticing that it was spelled wrong. God, if you can hear me, it's time for another flood.

Your first thought when you see this tattoo is probably the same as mine: who would commit to loving Arby's enough for a tattoo? Arby's is easily one of the lowest tiers of fast food restaurants in America. Nothing says "nutrition" like lukewarm shaved roast beef and fake cheese.

ADVERTISEMENT

It does make us feel a little better to know that this person didn't actually pay for their tattoo. Back in 2018, Arby's was offering free tattoos from a flash sheet of drawings. You don't get anything in return for pledging your allegiance to Arby's, but at least you got a good story out of it.

At first glance, I thought she had used her back as a place for classmates to sign their names. Just like they would in you know, a yearbook. You've got a couple of names, a bad sketch, and the cheesy "Peace" message. All that's missing is H.A.G.S (Have a great summer). This woman also seems like she has a problem with commitment.

There's a lot of what look like unfinished tattoos that she got bored of so she decided to start another one, and ended up with this masterpiece. This hurts just to even look at.

I didn't know that it was possible, but his man-made pandas not look cute. Their bodies look like stuffed animals with their limbs sewn together. Also, it's highly doubtful this guy knows that the symbol above the tattoo even means. He probably saw it on his favorite MMA fighter and thought it was a good idea to get a matching one. Oh, and throw in some pandas in there while he was at it.

From the sink to the nicely arranged magazine in the background, it's hard to ignore that this photo looks like it was taken in a public bathroom. I guess he couldn't wait to get home to show it to all of his friends.

We don't know who the lovely inspiration for this tattoo is, but it'd be great to see a picture. For the sake of this individual, I sincerely hope that this looks nothing like the actual subject.

She looks like she's had one of her hands re-attached, brushes her teeth with ink, and hasn't been to the gym in a few weeks. I'm sure this lady broke up this guy when she saw his representation of her, as she should. This tattoo is not just an insult to this guy's body, but the lady as well.

We do have to hand it to them though, it's nice to see they're still so confident in their camo zippers that they actually wear a dress in public. I would be all-pants, all the time if I had these on my legs.

They say people are either optimists, pessimists, or realists. Judging by this back tattoo of a very, very rainy day we're going to say this person is a pessimist. Why else would they get something so depressing tattooed all the way down their back?

Of course, you could argue they're an optimist and that the rain symbolizes the washing away of negativity. But something tells us it's not as elaborate as we want to think it is.

There's no wrong way to show how patriotic you are but this is as close to wrong as it can get. We're all for an eagle tattoo on the arm or maybe a flag on the back of the calf but smack front-and-center on a forehead feels like a bit much.

It also doesn't help that it now looks like this man has four eyes. Maybe it's a reminder that freedom is always watching you.
