tattoos

Okay "tastefully" might be a little bit of a stretch. These are either pretty cool looking or funny though. If you're getting a tattoo of your SO's name and/or face, be sure that the relationship will last. Otherwise you might have to slap down a couple hundred dollars for one of these bad boys. For some outright bad tattoos, here are some really not great tattoos people went through with.

Of the many things to skimp on in life, tattoos are not on that list. Make sure you have a good vision in mind, mull it over, and find a professional artist. But that's just a suggestion. If you really really want a tattoo of Richard Nixon in fishnets and your friend's cousin's step-dad says he can totally do it in his garage for 50 bucks, we'd sure like to see how it turns out.

Sometimes we get too caught up in all the tattoo fails to notice all the truly cool ones. These took some mark or scar and turned it into a piece of art. Under the magic hands of some skilled tattoo artist, a mark that made someone self conscious instantly became a wonderful conversation piece.

You may have thought your day sucked, but these photos might give you some extra insight into whether or not it really did. Here are some big errors, medium mistakes and comically sad moments that will help you decide.

Ariana Grande's intentions with this tattoo were to promote her new album, 7 Rings, and instead she ended up sharing a tattoo that says "BBQ Grill", to the online world. Naturally, the fans and trolls of Twitter clashed online to defend and condemn her seemingly careless move. There's talk of the fact that she stopped the tattooing process due to the pain, but that didn't stop her from sharing the unfinished tattoo, that did NOT say 7 Rings in Japanese. 

It's hard to tell if these people are joking. If they aren't, we have a very serious problem.

Whether it's to complain about a restaurant, falsify a new story, or just to get likes, people are out there lying like it's their job. Thankfully, there's also people on the internet who feel compelled to call those people out and prove them wrong. Sweet, sweet Justice.

Feel the embarrassment. Drink it in like a shame smoothie.

These are so bad they're borderline monstrous. 

Learn from their ill-conceived, obscene failures to that you don't repeat their regrets. 

You can't choose when it'll happen to you. Just be glad that it's probably not happening right now.

Prepare to be overwhelmed by the daunting levels of stupidity. 

There (see what we did there?...) hearts are in the right place, but sometimes that isn't enough to NOT drive you totally insane. Also, we're playing around with a particular word in the headline/body paragraph, in case you missed it. 

At least they look cool...

These terrible tattoos weren't meant for reality. 

Ice picks and drug money? Why did any of us get in trouble for having gum?
