People Who Decided To Get The Most Horrible Tattoos That They Would Instantly Regret

Burtland Dixon | November 23, 2024 5:00 am

They say you haven't thought about it right if you didn't think about it twice. When it comes to tattoos, you'd better think about it for a year before doing what the following people did to their bodies.

Sure, you can get them covered up or possibly removed, but that's just an extra waste of cash and time. Don't be these people.

What In The World Is Going On?

I don't know what to call this, but he shouldn't have got it.

The look on his face seems to express some despair, so it probably won't be long before he gets it covered.

He Must Love Turkey

If he knew that was what this meant, should we give him less or more of a hard time? Unless turkey sandwiches changed his life, why would he waste space on his body like this?

Well, What Do You Say To This?

Even though this is creative, it's more creepy than anything. It looks like this man's soul wants to leave his body through the back of his head. The haircut makes it even weirder.

That's Not What He Wanted

If you're looking to get a new tattoo based on another idea, make sure you leave out unnecessary details. It seems like this guy didn't get the memo, or his artist was lazy. This is why you should never plagiarize.
