Tattoos can be art. Body art that is.

But tats can also be over the top.

There is such a thing as too much, too weird, and too obscure.

But, everyone is entitled to do whatever they want their bodies.

But whatever reactions you get, you get.

Some tattoo ideas are just very out there.


Redditor IsopodNo1129 wanted to hear about the worst body "art" ideas we've all witnessed, so they asked:

"What is the cringiest tattoo?"

I have tat ideas for myself. I feel like I may change my mind after reading this.

Rough Spot

Excited Workout GIF by Bodybuilding.comGiphy

"Barbwire on your bicep that doesn’t connect on the inside because that hurts too much."

"Lol... the inside really does hurt like hell. I always tell people to pinch themselves in the spot just under their armpit then imagine having a needle going in and out there for 30 minutes."

Besties

"I was best friends in high school with a dude whose brother was a moron. He ended up getting a portrait done of his current girlfriend of only one week on his left forearm so she wouldn't break up with him. The guy that did the tattoo learned how to ink in prison so the portrait looked nothing like her. She broke up with him after she saw it."

Fail

"My fiancée is a tattoo artist, and she recently completed a full-back tattoo for a gym rat who sells his own protein powder, depicting him flexing his biceps especially powerfully (per his request) while holding his product on his arms. If this guy's business fails, I have no idea what will happen."

Valentines Day Love GIF by Digital PratikGiphy

Stay Sober

"My drunk of an ex-husband, on a bender got a shotgun tattoo with the words 'the best will rest.' It got horribly infected and me along with the emergency room staff tried to understand what it was supposed to mean. The closest we could come up with was 'mess with the best, die like the rest.' Stupid at any rate."

The Devil's Work

"My cousin's fiancèe 'Steve' had a vulgar tattoo that nobody wanted to describe or even characterize. Very few people had seen it, and he could never go shirtless at the pool, lake, etc. His father punched him in the face when he saw it. I was eventually told that it was a large and very detailed tattoo of the devil hooking up with a girl. He was a white-collar office guy, supposedly he got the tattoo on a drunken bender with his mates. It was a point of eternal shame for him."

Hey Missy

"I knew a girl who got like a giant Ms. Piggy portrait and it has a quote that says 'You just yee’d your last haw partner!' It is arguably the worst tattoo I have ever seen. it was oversized and disproportioned and just overall TERRIBLE… I wish I had a photo oh my God."

Translations

"Asian words or letters because they look cool without having any respect for the language or what the words actually mean when translated."
