Top 20 Worst Tattoos

wooooooooohoooooooooo first comment babyyyyyyyy!!!!!!….too excited to say nething else !!!!!

Good job on getting real tattoos. I was actually surfing for bad tats last night, and a couple that made the list were clearly paint jobs. (Beautiful, artistic, different, but also washable and not painful.)

I think the dragon weener would be the most painful…

There are literally thousands of bad tattoos floatingaround the net, I could have done a top 100. The corndog one, although not artistically bad, is just so bizarre, I had to include it.

Great list!

I’ve been thinking about making a list like this for some time, but teacherman apparently beat me to it. Damn you! :)

That said, my friend has a very crappy tribal tattoo on his arm. It’s not crappy in itself, it just doesn’t match his other tattoo (the placement isn’t very good either). I’ll see if I can find a picture of it.

Those were great! I was thinking about getting another tattoo . . . can’t decide between #4 and the corndog . . . JK! Love the captions also! :)

Angelina: hahaha! That comment could win best listverse comment!

Do a search for Mr. Cool Ice and you’ll see the hideousness of his tattoos in FULL glory. Front, back, and head…

There are a surprising amount of belly button vaginas/buttholes. (Or unsurprising, considering…)

jfrater: Definitely do a “Top Ten Best Listverse Comments”

:)

You know you have hit it big when people are excited that they get the first comment. And i wouldnt call these the “worst” tattoos, maybe some of the worst places but to be honest some of the tattoos are really well done, no matter then intentions behind them.

Keep in mind i said SOME, not all!

maybe i’m just missing something completely,
but can someone explain to me why #10 is so bad?

I believe that the girl on the corndog is from a painting by Robert Williams.
I am a tattoo artist and even I wonder why the hell people do these kinds of things to themselves.
Mr. Cool Ice just cracks me up though.

I have several tattoos on my arms/shoulder areas and I have always been cognizant of exactly what and where they are. How these people, be it drunk or otherwise (and I have NEVER been that drunk) decide that they desperately need asshole bellybuttons and snake dicks is so beyond my comprehension as a human it’s just staggering. Art work as beauty aside, think before you ink, friends!

what’s wrong with # 10, it’s just a lighthouse scene. it’s not the best tatto but it’s not the worst, or am I missing something?

glad to see i’m not the only one missing something on #10

9 is just righteous, Great detail, good colors. 16, is funny but if you hate him so much why tattoo his name on yourself.

Had a Friend Jim, went out and got his first tattoo, He shows up at the hangout and flashes everyone. He opted for a thought bubble about his junk with an arrow pointing down that said “The Other White Meat”. Most of the time I’ll congratulate youfor getting poked for the first time. I think he hit the “this was a bad idea” stage of life about an hour after he showed up.

#10 just struck me as so blahand unoriginal. It’s a huge tattoo of a lighthouse, not even a specific lighthouse. It doesn’t seem to be copied from a photograph. The grass is brown and the sky is purple and the shoreline doesn’t match when it goes behind the lighthouse. It’s just a really bad tattoo. I just can’t imagine what was soooo inspiring about thislighthouse to have someone devote an entire leg to it.

check this one out, this HAS to be up there

Awesome. Mr Cool Ice still has me laughing.

OK, I’m just going to have to let it be known….I am actually The One that has all of these tats! The fuckers above in the pictures are all posers! Go to any tattoo convention and you’ll see me there. I am Steve-O’s hero. These dudes that try and strut their stuff, knowing that I am “The One” have got another thing comming to them. …ok…I cant keep this up again. I’ll puke, I confess, my flesh is squeaky clean. To the guy with the cow anus: You rule!
Your my virtual buddy. ahem…dont get the wrong ideas if you happen to read this.

Interesting list. Tattoos are fascinating to me, but I am in full agreement with StewWrither “Think Before You Ink.” I have two tats myself and both of them carry significant personal meaning to me. My first is a claddaugh over my heart to always remind me of where my family came from and the second is a labrys on my shoulder marking my coming out.

Amazing Pictures. I agree, really some of them are the worst.

It’s not a corndog – it’s a waterplant called a cat-tail. I believe it is also called will-o-wisp, marsh mallow, and (perhaps the inside joke of the tat) pussywillow.

A washing machine? What about a fridge, or stove? We have number 8 with a tat of hulkster and number 7 that looks like a pro wrestler.

17 I too am speechless.

Here are a few more ones to check from the same site I posted earlier. Say goodbye to your faith in humanity…and also your lunch.

In one of the many tattoo mags I have collected through the years, there was a guy with a full sleeve of ears of corn. Just ears of corn covering his entire arm, ending in a sort of spiral into an infinite universe of golden corn on his shoulder. The quality of the tattoo was superb, and the colors were incredible … but to this day I still want to know the story behind it. Honestly, a full sleeve? Of corn? Ah, well, I may never know the answer …

That, and the guy with the new-skool flaming salt shaker. WTF? o_O

Yeah, you should try get 9 and 4 together, what a couple they would make. I have 1 tattoo and had no problem with it, didn’t think it was painful at all but I reckon 9 was.

#14 is actually fine, at first glance, then u look at it again and see how crazy vagina crazy it is. Then number 18 is just hilarious, I think my fav. one.

I LOLed at number 5.

hahahahahahahaha

The lighthouse is Cape Hatteras in the Outer Banks, NC…I’ve been to it..http://www.destination360.com/north-america/us/north-carolina/cape-hatteras.php
the rest..are hideous

I LOVE this website. Seriously it’s one of about 3 I check everyday.
One thing I must say though that I seriously disagree with is your comment: “Tattoos (whilst removable with extensive laser surgery) are permanent scars. They can occasionally be tasteful, but for the most part are not. Sometimes they are downright ridiculous.”
True, some tattoos are flat out stupid, but ‘occasionally tasteful’? It sounds like you mean 1 in 1000 is alright. In my experience (My hubbie is tattoo artist), at least 90% of the ones I saw are either nicely done, or at the very least have a great meaning behind them, and can easily be ‘fixed and cleaned up’ if need be. Personally, I have 7 including a chest piece that covers the entire top part of my chest. My father HATES tattoos, and he even likes my tattoos, because of the meaning behind them.

Just a thought man, no offense meant at all :) I love your website!

as someone else has said already, i dont see anything wrong with #10. the rest – lol – outragious. there was a woman who had her internal reproductive organs tattooed on on both sides of where they would actually be… i wish i had that pic to post.

great list – great site ;)

From the OP’s intro: “They can occasionally be tasteful, but for the most part are not.”

Wow. Close minded much? Tattooing, whether you like it or not, whether you agree or not, is a legitimate art form. That being said, there’s absolutely no accounting for taste, or personal preference. If someone wants to make their belly button look like a snatch, or a cow’s asshole, then more power to them.

As a heavily tattooed person, as well as a member of Mensa and all around good guy, I can say that the MAJORITY of work I see these days (including my own) is very high quality, and for the most part tasteful. Taste is relative to each individual. Would I ever, in a million years, get any work done that even remotely resembled numbers 18 or 19? No. I won’t comment on whether I would (or do) have my junk tattooed, but I can assure you, that if I did (or do), it would be (or is) in very good taste.

I sincerely hope you aren’t really a teacher, and if you are, I hope it’s at a higher level than grade or middle school, so your pupils can (hopefully) see your glaring prejudices for what they are, and not take your every word as gospel.

the tattoos r fuking awful lol but funny wot a freak show lol

i must be the only one, but i thought that dragon penis tattoo was hot…
its so original and different

omg!!!!!

Hah, my Biology teacher has a tattoo of a strand of DNA of the back of his shoulder. It’s pretty cool, actually.

And I feel very bad for #1

#4 is hot!

I think #9 is pretty hot. I wouldn’t mind doing it with him

nr 4 was actually well done, but yet, horrific..

omfg that tat on ur dick must of hurt lol

tbh these tattoos are the stupid thing ive ever seen and trust me ive seen some stupid things, take baldy for example getting thhe old windows sign on he has a reciding hairline, why would u get a tattoo on your privates that disgusting eww u make me feel sick my mummy would send me to my room if i got a tattoo like that not that my mum would see my fanny but u know chow for now tadaluu cheerio u hunnie monster mmmmmmm corndogs x

Wow, that was funny xD I love the cow one.

I actually like number 9, a side from the peircing.

“can occasionally be tasteful, but for the most part are not.”

Who wrote this? And what tattoos have they actually see a side from these ones?
Most are tasteful and I’m sorry if they cannot see past the steriotyping that dissappered long ago.
Tattoos have a meaning to each person, weither is it to show your personality, passion or in memory of a loved one.

If the dude like star wars what’s wrong with that? And there is nothing wrong with being a computer geek? How would you know if they guy help to make windows operating system and it’s a sign of his achievement? If it wasn’t for windows, we’d all be stuck with shitty macs.

Also the mask in 4 is a sign of protection.

Number 1 & 15 are not the peoples fault, it was badly done.

Number 7, they are prison tattoos, I doubt he would be getting a job, unless those were forced upon him, or he has changed his ways.

Whoever wrote this is a fool.

dang… and that stuff is permanent.

some of those tattoos are crazy lol

…oh wow…i hope they know there gonna be stuck with those horrible takes for the rest of there life..unless they get them removed

omg what kind of dude would make his dick a worm and yes i said worm.

i mean what sort of bloke decides he wants his penis painted like a snake/worm? imagine if you will getting it on and he whips that out! OMFG i would run a god-damn mile!

http://www.theginblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/suicide-bomber.jpg

dynamite belt, yup

18 and 19

cant… stop… laughing…

The Zombie Bride Tattoo was done by Dennis at On the Edge Tattoo in Bowling Green Ohio. Apparently, he finds it to be some of his best work… The wife is still alive, and the RIP is written on to make a pun on the bad quality of the tattoo. It was a nice idea, but very poorly executed.

just think #4 can grow a beard yuuuuck!

Has ‘Mr tool ice’ become aware of the fact that he’s now an utterly hilarious internet meme in the english speaking world? Move over rodman you’re not the coolest joke anymore.

Furthermore, romano is a gabbering unfunny spud-muppet hellbent on testing our sanity whilst we fumble franticly for the remote.

I think it would be an epic party trick to get my jonson adorned with a novelty tattoo. I’ve seen another one where the groin was a spiky skull with the tongue hanging out.

1# terrible job lol, 9# wow dude lol, #7 well he sure as wanted his tatts to be noticed 16# helerious 12# you could of had an awsome tatt but that chaps face there totally wrecked it lol 17# are those actually tatts on his face

Mr. Cool ice ?? took that a LIL tooo far and the wang tat dude…WTF MAN really…

i think some ppl are just fu**in Stupid.

hahaha this is crazy stuff!! how can people be soo dumb!!

#11 is a great, beautiful tattoo
it takes a disgusting mind to think otherwise

but…

#17, truly speechless…

The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse will eventually be washed out to sea due to erosion. Maybe they just wanted to preserve it a bit longer. And we have multicolored sunsets in the south.

Here are some more tattoos that are pretty bad and eligible to be addded to the list. http://exploitedink.com/

Worst tatto I’ve ever seen was the guy who got Goatse tattooed on his chest…

WTF is with #4 and #9 *shuders* UGH

Theres nothing wrong with 11. maybe its the persons son, we don't know. maybe it was his favorite picture of him. maybe the kid is dead now, and he wanted him to be remembered by his playfulness. its an artistically well tattoo. who cares if its a little different. its not like its some random kid, obviously its from a picture of a kid that is important to that person.

i'm getting #4 :)

whats with the picture of the chick who got beat up? or is that just a really bad tattoo

I really don’t know what tattoo artist would even think about doing these.

the number 10 is simple, he got raped by a well endowed barber in a beach until he or she bled, and now the image if say person`s penis became the focus point of its life.

Who’s curious to see the devil take on the dragon? That’s one hell of a double entendre….

this is bad

wow the one with the devil vagina thing disgusting you need help omfg

I so seexxxx and I acute bitch two.

Fantastic points altogether, you just received a brand new reader. What would you suggest in regards to your submit that you simply made some days in the past? Any sure?

i was 6 and obsesed with elefants, i told everyone when i grow up im getting an elefant tatood on my blatter and my penis would be the trunk. glad i changed my mind when i developed a genital torcher fetish, now im geting cbt tated at a specific angel that runs along my go spot for pain. colored blood red. hey, atleast its not branded like i used to fanasise about all the time as a kid, i consulted and found tatooing to actually be more torcherous, less repelling, colorable and more fun for her. then i must go threw a longer more difficult and more painfull healing process. when i saw that his whole dick was tated different colors i knew that hurt as bad as tatooing could on a dick and was like “thats some hot shit, and the pearsing. maybe we can be friends in the cbt slave comunitys. i know i misspell,im in a hurry.

Crazy ex-relationships, drunken dares and college nights, there are many instances where a decision made can haunt you for the rest of your life, especially if it is made permanent in ink.

High school sweetheart not so sweet anymore? Sick of your husband, Steve, asking you who “John” was? Flash art lost its flare? Wish it were still the days when tribal tattoos were cool? Did you find out what that Japanese symbol on your shoulder actually means? Tramp stamp tattoo not fit the prude you?

You lived the memory, you loved the ink and now it has lost its luster.

Do you or someone you know have a great story as to why you want to cover up your ink? Doron Ofir Casting is looking for people who made a mistake in ink and want the chance to re-do their tattoo.
