tattoos

Sometimes it blows our minds to see how popular tattoos are. People are covering their bodies with near-indelible inks, not wondering if they'll change their mind, or if the tats will look good later in life. Even worse? That they pay decidedly untalented and unintelligent people to ink these permanent pieces on their bodies. These cringeworthy tattoos may serve as a cautionary tale for anyone who was thinking about getting tatted on a whim. Be very, very careful.

In a weird way, it's kind of comforting to know that anti-mask lunacy isn't just an American problem. Apparently it's a thing in Europe too! You'd think it'd be a no-brainer to wear a face covering in a close-contact business like a tattoo shop where the artist is literally being paid to touch you, but apparently not everyone fully grasps that concept!

Getting a tattoo is - or should be - a serious decision. Getting inked up is a hell of a lot easier than getting a hasty tattoo removed. That's why you should never get the name of that person you're absolutely in love with after just a few months of dating. It's also why you need to choose an artist you trust, and try not to request a tattoo when you're under the influence of alcohol or under the influence of stupidity. These awful tattoo fails will probably scare any lackadaisical ink addicts straight.

Getting a tattoo is a big decision. Well, it should be. And sometimes, even if someone's thought over their pretty permanent commitment, their poor taste cancels out the planning phase. That's definitely the case for these cringey tattoos. At this rate, tattoo removal should be an essential service.

Getting a tattoo shouldn't be a decision that's made lightly. It should involve planning. Maybe a little research. Good communication and trust in the person wielding the tattoo gun. The people in this gallery clearly went about the process in a very different way - and are left with the cringey tattoo fails to prove.

We're not sure who is more to blame: the people that actually immortalized these images on their bodies, or the so-called tattoo artists that changed these peoples lives forever. Either way, these photos of terrible tattoos are pretty much guaranteed to shock and entertain you - they might even make you lose your lunch. The cringe is real.

Moby's gone and done it again, Just months after he got a tattoo that reads "VEGAN FOR LIFE," the musician got another tattoo that people can't help but mock. To commemorate 32 years of being vegan, he had Kat Von D tattoo "Animal Rights" down his right and left arms, respectively. The Instagram post went viral, and memers couldn't help but mock the very mock-able musician with memes and photoshops. He means well, but man, does it do it to himself.

Cringe. Cringe everywhere.

Oh, the humanity! We spend hours and hours trawling the deep corners of the web for fun stuff for you all to gaze upon. Every now and then, however, we come across pics or videos that make us wonder why we bother with this "life" thing at all. Here's some of the content that makes us wish the asteroid would hurry the f*ck up. 

When you get caught in a glaringly obvious web of lies, the best policy is generally to just own up to it. Nobody's falling for your BS anyway so it's probably best to not make yourself look even more stupid.

This "tattoo artist" blatantly stole a bunch of their designs from other artists off of Google and then continued to play dumb after being called out.

And the worst part? The copied art is definitely not as good as the original!
