If you take the advice of many professional tattoo artists, including the artists that we have featured on this blog, you shouldn’t settle for mediocre work. The price doesn’t matter. If you have to travel to get to the artist you want, do it. Tattoos are on you for the rest of your life, so make them count. Unfortunately for the people in these pictures, they either didn’t receive any of this advice, or ignored it all.
12: The rainbow zebra cheetah queen
Okay, this one isn’t really all that outrageously bad, it’s just awful in a mundane sort of way.

11: Blaze
Similar to the last, not any special kind of bad. Just bad. The specialties come later.

10: Star power
When I think of a tattoo that will take up a whole back, I imagine it’d probably be the tattoo with the most time and effort put into it on your whole body. Not this.

9: Atlanta’s finest
I’m not particularly fond of any tattoos comprised solely or mostly of words. Especially in fancy fonts. The tattoos done in this manor usually have little effort put into to them, and even less thought. At least nothing is spelled incorrectly.

8: Danee life nalody’s watehing
Speaking of which… How does this even happen? Even if no alcohol is involved, how can this happen? I feel like it is the “artist’s” fault just as much as the client. All of the internet is “watehing” now, pal.

7: Dime Piece
Logos and slang that will only be around for a couple months. Usually not the greatest ideas. I bet she could be great friends with the Louis Vuitton guy from our last post about awful tattoos.

6: Angel-demon
This one is just bad art. The idea might’ve worked with a better artist.

5: Heart unicorn thing
Again, simply bad art. This time the idea wasn’t all that great.

4: Senselessness
I don’t even know what could possibly possess someone to get a tattoo like this. Maybe a gallon of Jack Daniels? On top of that, the work is worse than I’ve seen from a jury-rigged jail tattoo gun. Even comparing them insults the prison rig.

3: Not sure what to say
I’ll admit a curiosity as to the idea behind this one. Not that it would, in any way resemble a good idea.

2: Interspecies mating
I don’t know what they were aiming for, but they either hit it dead on, or missed it by a long shot.

1: Mama
This person either hates their mother with the fiery passion of 1,000 stars, or loved her equally too much.
