15 Tattoos That Went Horribly Wrong

Remember that week when everyone just sat around, talking about "The Dress"? Just in case you need a refresher...

This tattoo artist should never, ever enter a 5th grade spelling bee.

When I asked people to send me their bad tattoos for this piece, my favorite response came from Helen, who not only acknowledges that she has a bad tattoo, she actually embraces it. "It's Kevin French from the show Mission Hill covered by Malevich's Black Square, which is really a terrible rectangle," Helen explains. "Then it was laser-removed 24 times after the face scarred through the square like puffy paint."

If you're going to get a text-based tattoo, make sure to read it over. Twice. Three times. Then read it out loud.

"Goonies never say die," reads this quote tattooed on the foot of Twitter user @borderlinefemme. "I wanted it to be on the side, but the artist said my foot was too tiny so he did it diagonally," she explains. "Oh, and turns out if you choose a font from a film about 12-year-olds, it will look like a 12-year-old DIY tattoo."

This is a serious commitment to the idea of having eyes in the back of your head — but it's somehow even creepier.

This is the tattoo that belongs to yours truly, folks. It was done in — wait for it — a living room the month I turned 18 by somebody, who barely knew what she was doing. It is patchy and jagged, and if you turn you head to the right, it looks like a sad face. Yes, I regret it. No, I am not getting it removed. Yes, I'm glad it's on my back and I don't have to look at it ... except for when I'm doing roundups of bad tattoos.

The owner of this tattoo may be reconsidering "no regrets" these days.

At least now there's enough people for a support group.

This tattoo is supposed to look like the girl snapping a selfie in the mirror. Sadly, however, we don't see much of a resemblance.

And you thought baby dolls were creepy — imagine waking up and seeing this eerie face every day.

Which is the best part: the mustard-colored hair, the exceedingly long neck or the Beelzebub claws?

Your grandfather would so appreciate the sentiment, but probably not the misspelling.

Yes, of all the musical artists in this day and age, it is Miley Cyrus who will stand the test of time. 100%. On the bright side, at least dolphins never get old.
