Everyone wants their tattoo to be unique, even if they don’t have a solid grasp on what it should actually look like. This often means that people will get the most bizarre things inked on their bodies without really doing their homework.
Someone asked “What’s the dumbest thing you’ve ever seen tattooed on someone?” and netizens shared the worst examples they have encountered. We also got in touch with the person who asked the question in the first place. So get comfortable, prepare to feel some intense second-hand embarrassment as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and share your own thoughts and experiences.

Met a girl who has a tramp stamp that says "Only God Can Juge Me". Apparently her God can't spell.

A man had a full sleeve of satanic imagery and had no clue what any of it meant he just wanted to p**s off his Christian manager.

I saw an unfortunately unattractive guy in Vegas that had his own nearly life-size portrait tattooed on his shoulder. The tattoo looked just like the ugly MF.

I once saw a guy with "Tattoo" tattooed in a stencil font on his bicep. It was very meta — but also a dumb joke.

I had a friend in high school who got a very brightly colored burning american flag on his neck with the phrase next to it "Burn Baby, Burn!" This was in TX in the mid-90's. When he showed me after getting it, I was like, damn, bold move, man, you're gonna regret that s**t. Ran into him years later and he'd become a straight edge and a pastor. First thing I said was "well, regret that tat yet?" He just said he does indeed have to explain himself alot.

I knew a guy who lucked into $70k. Got "pay up" as knuckle tattoos, but had the "up" as a dollar sign that was also an up arrow in the middle of the S instead of just this $. So that symbol with an up arrowhead at the top.
Everybody read it as "pays up" when he showed them and he had to have the whole S covered. Now it says pay on 3 fingers and has an arrow sign almost as thick as his f*****g finger.
He had to move back in with his mom after 6 months.

Back in 1990 when tats were so not mainstream, I met a dude covered in all sorts of bad tats (bad taste and quality). The worst was Woody Woodpecker sitting on a toilet reading a newspaper. He said it was political, but I forget exactly how.
