CULTURE: Bad Tattoos

While definitely not wanting to step on the toes of fellow SG Culture Editor and tattoo expert Marisa_DiMattia, I must share the following link. I've been thinking about how great it would be if someone had a website cataloging funny tattoos ever since one of my best friends showed up at my house with a Christmas tree on her arm.

Bad tattoos pretty much needs no explanation. Some are random, some are hilarious, some are disgusting, but all are showcased there for a look and maybe a chuckle.


Photo Location. Clockwise: carrot tattoo on toe, lucky charms full back tattoo, scary clown on shoulder

Hat tip to Meathaus for the link. Clown hat tip to the weirdos who got these.

There are too many "lol"s on that site.

This one is awesome! This is one of the best tattoos I've ever seen.

Thats so cool!

so, it's just a site of people making fun of other people's tattoos? how edgy!

I think the carrot is really cute.

Yeah, what's not to make fun of here:

who's to say what constitutes "bad"

Admitedly, there is some awful work on that site, I mean tattoos that are just badly done. I don't think it's funny to mock peoples tattoos for what they're of though, that's just shitty.

There's at least one thread on SG right now making fun of people's clothing choices, and I don't see how a choice being more permanent preotects it from ridicule.

is that the L word chart or something???? lol.

of course it's cool to make fun of people's shitty tattoos. they inevitably end up sucking when people try to make them "mean" things, and all the deep meaning just makes them more hilarious. insulting shitting tattoos will hopefully discourage people with no taste from attaching tacky-ass pictures permanently to their body and maybe just buying them in commemorative plate form from the home shopping network.

It's eyes are kind of disturbing.

More like hypnotising!

A "bad" tattoo is kinda subjective. Maybe some should put a bit more time into determining what they want, but than again a "I did it because I felt like ..." is the expression that makes body mods so personal.

IMO the only "bad" tattoo is one that lacks originality or creativity, like Nike swooshes and other things commercial, they make me cry. That's just my perception though.

so long as it means something to ya it aint bad !

I'm guessing those are "notches on his bedpost."

All these girls' names, then I notice, dead center, "Dale". For some reason. That made me giggle.

[EDIT: You have to look at the original pic to see what I"m talking about. The reply trimmed the photo too much]

The pointless bitchiness would be a little more acceptable if the commentary was funny. As it is it's repetitive with a smattering of awkward homophobia and vague racism.

The creator of those galleries also appears to have nine pages featuring screen-caps of "My WoW character standing near a tree", so we can only temper our judgement with pity.

Well, at least he remembers all of their names. That's got to count for something, right?

I actually like some of these.... does this mean I have bad taste?
Well, screw it, I don't care.

I like this one:

This one is pretty funny.


Hell, I think it's cute.

yup.
