It’s no secret that tattoos are permanent. However, even though that’s common knowledge, it seems like there are still people out there who don’t do their research when it comes to either the artist or the art they’re putting on their bodies. Bad news for them – hilarious news for us.
Here are 50 times the tattoo artist made a very permanent mistake.
Oops?
1. He realized it too late
This would have been a really creative tattoo idea had it not been for the glaring mistake that was Super Mario’s left hand! Or was it the right hand?
This tattoo was supposed to be a 3D version of Fawkes but ended up like the character was gazing from behind jealousy windows! What misfortune this really is!
4. What a “beauty” for someone who’s only been tattooing for two weeks
While some people really have the talent when it comes to body art, some just don’t know that they can be anything but tattoo artists! This unfortunate Redditor just tried out a friend’s recommendation only to find out that he has absolutely made the wrong decision!
It’s a great idea to have a tattoo that shows your love for God. But, doing it in a foreign language may not be the best way! This man, unfortunately, mistook “idiot foreigner” for “God Almighty”. It was such an epic tattoo fail!
When it comes to quoting tattoos, we must really be careful with what we want to write on our skin simply because the tat is going to be permanent! This guy probably wanted to let everyone know of his opinion and inked his foot with it. It’s just sad that he misspelled it real bad!
I can’t decide whether to cry or laugh when I saw this disconcerting tattoo! Had I not seen it in real life, I wouldn’t believe it if anyone told me they’d do something like this!
Here is another misspelled tattoo that could have meant something more. It’s important that you and your tattoo artist are on the same page before letting them ink your skin forever!
This Redditor could not help but notice a friend in Facebook that was totally proud of this tattoo. The tattoo seemed to be inspired by Marilyn Monroe, except that this version has inhuman feet and an alien-looking face!
This guy is simply stunned with what his tattoo turned out to be. He even had a hard time getting hold of the artist only to end up with this ugly tattoo! Unbelievable.
This guy who only wants to be a better tattoo artist finally decided it’s time to find another teacher when he had the misfortune of getting this dreadful tattoo! It’s a good thing he only did it in one arm, though.
This guy’s tat looked like it was supposed to be a Hulk tattoo but was unfinished. When he sought another artist’s help in completing it, this happened to be the unbelievable result. The tattoo looks like an Asian green monster!
Wolves are amazing choices for tattoos. They look powerful and really magical. It’s just unlucky when this fellow did not get the powerful wolf figure when he got a tattoo. Instead, he got this stray-looking blue monster up in his arm.
It’s quite admirable when siblings show how much they value each other, especially if it’s done by permanently inking it on the skin! But, remember that it is also important to check your tattoo’s grammar before deciding to do it, or else you’ll end up like this person.
If you prefer to have a quotation for your tattoo, you must always remember that your tattoo needs to be properly formatted or else you may end up having the same kind of situation as this person! Spacing and font are definitely important, you know.
This person only wanted to have a specific tattoo design. However, he ended up having a poor version of it! I mean, the birds are there and it’s black, but other than those, there was nothing else that resembled the design inspiration.
Some tattoos are straightforward while some are meant to be mysterious. However, there can be some that are downright bizarre, just like this one. What could this possibly mean?
Having a tattoo is something that is worth sharing on social media. But, when it’s not too pretty, expect some backlash and harsh commentaries! The comments on this post are simply brutal if you’d ask me.
Some tattoos are highly personalized and are based on the person’s own design. That’s fine if you’re a pretty good artist but if the design is quite awful, it would be better to just leave the drawing part to your tattoo artist. It’s good that this person loved her own drawing and was proud enough to show it off, though it doesn’t look too pretty at all.
This person was so thankful because he got the tattoo he wanted courtesy of his roommate. Everything looks good except for the fact that he should’ve written “omnia” which means “all” instead of “omina” which means “omens”. Now his tattoo basically says “love conquers omens”!
A slight misspelling won’t do any harm. But, if we’re talking about tattoos, misspelled words are a big No-No! Next time, just make sure your tattoo artist knows how to spell right.
Now, here is another confusing tattoo that will leave you perplexed. The person who had it done loves it but the comments on his social media post don’t agree with him, big time!
Again, tattoos inspired by quotes always require even more caution. Grammar and spelling are quite important so you better make sure that your tattoo artist knows these things before you agree to be inked!
This could have been a really cute tattoo had it not been for the obvious mistake in grammar. The unicorn is cute, but the words are not so wonderful at all.
Bon Jovi is definitely an iconic name in the music industry and there are a lot who want to show their appreciation of him through getting a tattoo. It’s just unfortunate that this person’s tattoo artist doesn’t seem to know who Bon Jovi is at all.
This person corrected her tattoo and used “then” instead of “than”. She claimed afterward that she loves it even more now that it’s technically incorrect! That is quite embarrassing but at least, she owned her mistake!
This person who always posts about religious things gets a tattoo of a fallen angel. He gets roasted after sharing his new tattoo on social media. It seems like he does not know that Lucifer is the fallen angel and this tattoo totally contradicts his religious image!
Some people resort to tattoos in remembering their lost loved ones and there is nothing wrong with that. Just make sure you get the right data or else, you will end up like this girl who tattooed the wrong date for her grandpa’s death anniversary.
It’s hard to miss this guy’s excitement for his new tattoo. He’s totally loving the ink on his skin! But he seemed to miss the fact that the design isn’t quite as lovely as he thought it to be and people commenting on his post are quick to tell him that!
Apart from the fact that the handwriting on this tattoo is not done well, the grammar is also quite unfortunate! It is important to find a tattoo artist who knows how to spell and write right, folks.
Having a tattoo written in a foreign language can be really cool. But remember, you need to make sure that you are not writing any funny stuff on your skin because you will regret it forever! This guy finally discovered that his friend’s Chinese tattoo actually means “turkey sandwich”. This is one epic tattoo fail!
This person’s tattoo was supposed to be a galaxy but look at what she got instead! It looks like a big puddle of colorful worm-like things and it’s not pretty at all.
This may seem like a case of chest freckles at first, but the truth is that it’s a tattoo gone wrong! The design was supposed to be inspired by stars but now, it only looks like someone sprinkled gray sand on this woman’s skin.
People get pictures that will be the inspiration of their tattoo design and artists are supposed to create life-like images on their skin. These kinds of tattoos really require the best of artists and if you don’t choose well, you might end up having your face distorted, just like this person’s tattoo of her and her friend!
Here’s another fail involving a tattoo written in a foreign language. It does not hurt to do some research before deciding to ink your skin permanently. Choose your words well or you’ll just be like this lady who unknowingly got a tattoo saying “chicken noodle soup” on her back!
You gotta expect that not everyone on social media will love your tattoo. Comments on this post are absolutely brutal but who can blame them? That’s one ugly tattoo, man.
