Artists Transform Bad Tattoos into Beauty

Regrettably, there’s nothing quite as unfortunate as looking down at a tattoo and realizing it isn’t everything you want. Perhaps, at one point, you even liked it, but over time, the quality really started to show, or the concept just didn’t work anymore. Nevertheless, that’s exactly the type of challenge that these tattoo artists took on. Remarkably, their works of art transformed these awful tattoos into beautiful ones.

People Share Their Tattoos They Totally Regret

Many of us are enthusiastic about getting tattoos, given the many design choices available for embellishing our skin… However, the proficiency and experience of tattoo artists can vary significantly. When you entrust your skin to an inexperienced artist, the result can sometimes turn into a regrettable decision. Let’s delve into the stories of individuals who personally experienced the aftermath of these nightmarish tattoos…

Tattoo Artists Reveal the Worst Tattoos They Have Seen

The popularity of tattoos has skyrocketed in recent years, and with that has come a dramatic rise in the race to create the most unique body art. While others are happy with a small cute tattoo or a full back with intricated lines, some people take it up a notch and choose for themselves the most horrible designs.

Today’s list includes some of the lousiest artwork including shaky lines, lousy resilience, and bad shadows. After witnessing these atrocities, we hope you never decide to design a tattoo yourself, and always check the artist’s credentials before your appointment.

Lip tattoo

A few years ago, tattoos on one’s lips became very popular. It’s probably because you can hide it, and it only shows up when you pull your bottom lip down. It is an incomplete form of rebellion. Well, at least that’s the idea. This artist got it very wrong. Instead of being obscured, the tattoo is only on the lower lip and is rather very conspicuous. To make it worse, why would she choose such a silly word?

Twilight fish

It’s unclear how this person came up with this combination, but they somehow put a sick Twilight quote into the rainbow fish-like tattoo. The two seem to be far apart, but there is some common ground for this individual. It’s a unique look, for sure. We hope they pay less for this, as the design needs to be revised. The quote will be a bit gory, but adding the fish is coincidental.

Compass

A lot of people have tattoos dedicated to their significant other. Usually, they receive a heart, their lover’s name, or some form of symbolism for their relationship. This person chose the third option uniquely. This uneven compass has a heart with what appear to be knives cut through it, with a quote around it. The original saying was, “I was once lost, but now I have been found.” This person used their version of the famous quote and ended up with this body art.

Sunny day

“The sun will rise.” This is undoubtedly true. However, the sun in this tattoo has already risen, so it loses its purpose of this tattoo. The lines are also very uneven and shaky, so clearly, this is not the most professional artist who has done this tattoo. We don’t knock feelings down because it’s a friendly reminder that everything is temporary and tomorrow will always be a new day—no matter what you’re going through.

Crystal Lake

There’s so much going on here, from the horrible fox design to the random rose. The face is a bit thin and not very proportionate, so now it looks half like a side view and half like a straight face. The rose that grows out of the fox’s mouth is an entirely different design, making us think this could be a cover-up. It also seems a bit out of place. Wolves are powerful creatures, but this one has a delicate flower in its mouth.

Epic Tattoo Fails That Have Us Laughing Out Loud

As most tattoos are permanent, many people will have to think it through before getting one. Moreover, the meaning behind each tattoo is also essential since it could represent a personal memory for us. As a result, you always want to find a reliable tattoo artist. However, these people below might not be as lucky in their search for the right guy. Here are some of the most epic tattoo fails that will give you a good laugh. 

The Infamous Tattoo List

Using a quote or famous phrase as your tattoo is a common thing. Nonetheless, you must think long and hard before getting it. First, make sure you can pick the correct phrase. Besides, you need to consider the font and size of the tattoo. Finally, its location is also a crucial point.

Most tattoo artists would offer to do some specific fonts if you didn’t know. When choosing the “Finally Famous” phrase, this guy must not think he would become infamous instead. 

A Proper Translator Is A Must

Non-English tattoo is also a familiar type that many people choose to have. For Naz Mila, she picked a phrase that means “Only God can judge my mistakes and truths.” However, the social media influence made the mistake of letting her tattoo artist do the translation. 

A Proper Translator Is A Must

Things took a terrible turn when he gave her a tattoo that read, “I can judge a single god with my wrongs and wrongs.”  

A Haunted Tattoo

Finding good tattoo artists couldn’t be that hard. When you want to have a portrait tattooed, you must look for a talented one. When this guy wanted to have a tattoo of his girlfriend, she should have said no.

His final tattoo came out a bit too ‘haunted’ for our liking, don’t you think so? 

A Vegan? 

How do you spot a vegan? Simple, they will announce that whenever you have a conversation. Nevertheless, this woman could be too lazy to mention it several times.

As a result, she will let her tattoo do the talking. Having a face tattoo is a big sacrifice, so we have to applaud her commitment.

Tazte The Rainbow

We could have made a spelling mistake once in a while, but it’s a big NO to most tattoo artists. If you’re a big fan of Skittles, you will see what went wrong in this case.

Perhaps he’s not a big fan of the candy himself. On the other hand, it won’t be much visible in the long run. 

Guess The Old Hollywood Star

It’s not uncommon to have a tattoo related to their favorite idol. However, it might be a bit tricky to identify this famous star. Can you take a guess? 

Guess The Old Hollywood Star

If your answer is Marilyn Monroe, you must have a great imagination. Despite having a great original pic, the tattoo left a bit to be desired. The ling work and shading are just bad overall.  

Japanese Style Barbecue Grill

You must have heard about Ariana Grande’s epic tattoo fail once before. When her hit song ‘7 Rings’ came out, she wanted a tattoo to commemorate the success. The famous pop star ditched English for a Japanese character tattoo this time.

Something must have gone wrong during the translation, as she ended up with a tattoo that meant a type of Japanese-style barbecue grill.
