Getting a tattoo is an important decision. They are meant to last forever, so it is essential always to choose the best possible design, as well as the most appropriate tattoo artist. Or at least, that's what we thought!

Human beings don't always get to make the best and wisest decisions. And while we feel sorry for the people on this list, we cannot stop laughing at their ludicrous tattoos! From incredible tattoo artist fails to unimaginably lame designs, do these men and women know that a tattoo is meant to last forever?

Hmm, Something is Off...

Is there something wrong with our eyes? Or has this man tattooed a fake pair of glasses in his head? We've heard of no-lenses hipster glasses before, but this guy has decided to take the concept to a whole other level!

A fan of tattooing, he has probably inked one too many tattoos in his body. This kind of mess will not only get you out of most job opportunities out there, but it will also stick with you forever! This is the kind of eye issue that not even the most expensive pair of contact lenses will ever solve.

Famous For All the Wrong Reasons

This woman is finaly ready to become famous! Yes, you've read it right. Finaly. Considering that the girl in this picture has decided to misspell a word in her ever-lasting chest tattoo, we have decided to honor her with a misspelling of our own. Fortunately, we will not have to see it every single time we look ourselves in the mirror for the rest of our lives!

The least you can do before signing up for a tattoo is a quick grammar and spelling check. Regretfully, the idea didn't even cross this woman's mind. After all, who needs that extra L taking so much unnecessary space?

Where Did All the Skittlez Go?

This woman was sane enough not to use the real name of the brand, changing the last S to a Z, probably due to copyright reasons. But at the same time, she wasn't sane enough to call this off before the ink touched her skin, and she was forever doomed with one of the ugliest tattoos we've ever seen.

We get it; you love candy. But wasn't there a more subtle way of portraying your admiration for your favorite sugary snack? We know too much sugar can get you into trouble, but we never could've guessed it would also get you a spine-chilling tattoo!

Well-Crafted Joke or Total Disaster?

There are so many things wrong with this tattoo that we cannot help it, but considering it was all made on purpose. If that's the case, kudos! If not, our condolences. The only right thing about this quote is the start and end with the proper use of the quotation marks.

The rest is so off it's hilarious! The writing is shaky and child-like. The quotation itself is a grammatical nightmare of epic proportions. And even the name of the ever-inspirational Bon Jovi was misspelled! Fortunately, this tattoo is not part of our life!

Others Will Be Working Out at The Gym

Were you never a ladies man? Have you always missed the necessary body mass to attract the opposite gender? Is working out just too much for a guy like you? We have the perfect solution for you! Why spend hours at the gym like all the rest when you can simply ink your fake abs and get all the female attention you've always wanted?

We sincerely hope this Barney-Stinson-type trick has turned this guy into a serious player. But for some reason, we feel like this tattoo will get him even further away from all the women he so desperately wants to seduce.

The Intention is What Counts

Usually, we would agree with the saying. But while it applies perfectly to gifts and competitive efforts, we're not so sure it fits a tattoo that well. When a man decided to get a portrait of his beloved girlfriend, we don't think he specifically asked for a zombified version!

Sometimes, picking the right tattoo artist is as important as deciding on the right tattoo. This guy was probably trying to save some bucks on this black-and-white portrait, and the result is gruesome. Cover-up tattoos are commonly associated with break-ups, but this guy is probably looking for one even if he is still together with his girlfriend.

You Too, Ariana?

If you think ugly tattoos are a poor people's problem, you're in for a change of mind. After getting her song 7 Rings at the top of the charts, pop singer Ariana Grande decided to celebrate her success by tattooing the song's name in Japanese. But Ariana, like most tattoo lovers out there, doesn't speak a word of Japanese.

The result? A tattoo that, according to the fans of the singer, means something like "barbecue grill." Ariana has over ten small tattoos on her body, but none nearly as messed-up as this one. Next time, maybe try an English one?

This Onion Will Surely Make Your Cry

As Mr. Shrek himself has once put it, onions have many layers. But how many layers of wrong can you find in this tattoo? We count at least 3. The first is the odd location, which is the often-concealed armpit. The second is the subject, which is the mighty onion, a vegetable best-suited to be used in braising, and not in a tattoo shop.

The third one has got to be the woman's reaction. She seems to be genuinely happy about her new tattoo, even though it looks, well, not exactly tasty. We always thought that a "recipe for disaster" was just an expression, but we were wrong!

All Hoop is Lost

We're guessing this cataclysmic tattoo was made in a non-English country, considering how massively wrong it is. It's almost impossible to mess-up this much using your native language. Still, there's no excuse for how hilariously bad this "inspirational" quote turned out to be.

How can you believe in youself when you cannot even spell that same conviction correctly? And how are you supposed never to lose hoop if all hoop was lost in the first place? The tattoo artist responsible for this ode to disaster should be punished with this very same tattoo, word by word!

Sometimes, Ignorance is For the Best

There is a timely occasion to check the spelling of your Chinese tattoo. And that's before getting the tattoo. After it's done, it's probably better to keep the truth aside and continue living your life as though your Chinese tattoo indeed says what you wanted it to say.

We're pretty sure this man was happier when he thought his tattoo meant something grandiose, like "courage," "compassion," or "love." Now, he's only the guy who mistakenly got a Chinese tattoo praising a meat sandwich. Thanksgiving celebrations have just gotten a lot harder for this accidental turkey fan.

Make Your Baby Look Like He is 80-Years Old? Gotcha!

Babies. Nothing fills a person with greater joy than having a baby. The miracle of birth was the inspiration behind millions of tattoos all over the world, but we don't think there was ever a baby tattoo that looked like this one.

This unique masterpiece was supposed to be an accurate representation of the baby's picture of the left. But once again, someone decided to save some money and go with the low-cost tattoo artist. The outcome? A "baby" that looks like a character straight out of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

We Agree!

Man, we wish this guy had decided to go with just the skull. But even though speaking English was not his specialty, he went on and included the caption. Now all of his friends are taking pictures of his new tattoo. Probably because they think it looks so cool? Or maybe they can relate to the message?

Writing the words "Born to lose" on your arm is kind of sad. It's not a positive message. But when you mess up such a simple sentence, it stops being sad. It starts getting kind of appropriate. We do wish this guy the best, though, as we believe everybody should get a chance at winning.

Marilyn Who?

Marilyn Monroe tattoos are pretty common, as Marilyn is deemed as one of the ultimate symbols of female beauty, charisma, and star-quality. But when you ask the wrong tattoo artist for one, and he ends up delivering an unrecognizable version of Marilyn, what can you do?

This woman is probably tired of explaining to her friends who the strange woman in her left arm is. On the other hand (no pun intended), this is perhaps the one picture of Marilyn in which she looks terrible while wearing a bikini, which is an accomplishment in itself.

Poetic Justice

In architecture, there's something called exemplification. It applies to things that showcase its nature in a literal way. A good example would be the word Green written in green letters. And an even better example would be this woman's tattoo.

Although inadvertently, she had recurred to exemplification when she decided to engrave this puzzling tattoo on her chest. The words "Nobodies Perfect" are, ironically, a brilliant literal display of the message she is trying to convey. We're pretty sure this mistake wasn't made on purpose, but if it was, we need to offer her our congratulations!

Obsessed Much?

The puzzling tattoo on this man's back was made out of love. Or so he thinks... You see, love comes in many different forms, but there's a difference between loving someone and being obsessed with someone. This man has not only crossed that threshold. He completely obliterated it!

We have no doubts Brenda is a special lady, but does she know that her name is repeated countless times on the back of this creepy admirer? At least there's a fun game to be made here. Can you count how many times the name Brenda appears in total? Don't forget to count the little Brenda's that make up the word Brenda!

Low-Cost Cover-Up

We get it. You were too young, and you knew nothing about what's truly important in life. So you got yourself a Monster tattoo, honoring your love for energy drinks and extreme sports. But as you got older, Monster started to play an increasingly smaller part of your life. It was time for a cover-up!

But cover-ups are expensive and hard to make. Unless... You turn that Monster M into the first letter of the word "mom"! No one will notice, and your momma will be finally proud of your tattoo. Saving money was never this easy!

Is That You, Spider-Man?

We have sometimes wondered about how a real-life Spider-Man would look like. Well, we don't have to wonder anymore. This man has got as close as it gets to being Peter Parker, but not even he seems particularly happy about his life's choices.

What kind of madness drives someone to completely cover his face with an ever-lasting tattoo of a gigantic spider? We don't know, and we don't think anyone will ever be able to solve this enigma. Maybe he just wants to keep everybody away? He's undoubtedly not getting invited to house parties anymore.

Not Sponsored by Nike

We have heard of sponsored tattoos before, but this man has a good chance of becoming the first person ever to receive money from a company to stop promoting their products. If Nike's marketing department ever gets to see this, they will probably start waving millions at this guy just to make him cover this extraordinarily messed-up tattoo!

Nike's slogan is great to sell sportswear, but not the best advice for life in general. And believe us, this man is aware of that, considering that his back now looks like a child's drawing. And what's with the four straight lines beneath?

A Broken Heart? Let's Shed It to Even Smaller Pieces

Memorial tattoos are highly emotional and often seen as a way of overcoming grief. But while some tattoos help people in distress to find solace, others simply contribute to increasing their pain. This man was trying to pay tribute to a lost loved one, but his tattoo artist decided he was not going to help him at all.

A once beautiful woman has been transformed into this dreadful rendition of Samara from The Ring. And unlike most horror movies, this scary tattoo will not be over after 80 to 120 minutes. Tattoo artists out there, please stop trying to make tattoos that are clearly out of your league!

We Appreciate the Caption!

Ryan Gosling is a big movie star who's especially popular amongst women. But when you feel the need to add his name to a tattoo of his face, it probably means something did not go according to plan. This particular Ryan Gosling shares close to no resemblance with the original, and having a weird spider body doesn't help at all.

We guess that Gosling's face was used as a cover-up tattoo, hence the inexplicable spider body. Does that mean there was an even uglier tattoo hiding behind all of this? Forget La La Land, because this makes us want to scream Mamma Mia!

Twisted Neck

Catching an airplane is a stressful and scary experience to start with. But when you're sitting right behind this guy, it can turn into a legitimate horror movie. This man is providing real-life jumpers to everyone around him, and he's making sure his haircut is contributing to the terror plot.

We have to admire how carefully trimmed his fake eyebrows and mustache are. But we cannot get around the fact that this guy wakes up every day with a scary portrait of himself on the other side of his head. His wife must love it!

Inception, the Tattoo

In a way, your body is like a machine that's being driven by the pilot that's your brain. At least, that's the main philosophical conclusion we take from this enigmatic tattoo. However, sometimes it is probably better to simply ignore all logic. Trying to make sense of something like this can drive people crazy.

Even the "proud" receptor of this inexplicable tattoo seems to be unhappy with the result. We cannot imagine how he is going to explain this to his family. How does it feel like to see that every single time you look yourself in the mirror for the rest of your life?

Tigers Are the Coolest Animals

Tiger tattoos are incredibly popular. But when this man decided to cover-up his body with a tiger tattoo, we're pretty sure this was not what he was expecting! This sketchy tiger is so poorly drawn that it looks like something a 10-year-old would scribble on a napkin.

The lines are shaky, the stripes are unrealistic, and the face of the tiger draws some unwanted inspiration from a Picasso painting. Once again, going with the low-cost tattoo artist has proven to be a costly decision. At least for his guy, who will never listen to Eye of the Tiger with the same enthusiasm ever again.

Let's Get a Little Bit of Face on Your Tattoo

You can tell by his reamer and padlock tattoo that he loves extreme body modifications. But while he loves changing up his body, he is not a big fan of his face. So, he decided to cover-up the entire thing, leaving only room for a little bit of human left on his tattoo.

What would drive someone to cover their face completely with something that resembles a Medieval-era helmet? We don't know. But we can only imagine how painful the entire process must've been! Remember: tattoos are made with needles and can take up hours to complete!

The Difference One Letter Makes

Correcting people's spelling and grammar can often be annoying. But sometimes, spelling is important for conveying the right message, instead of an opposite one. This woman was so proud of being the prom queen that she decided to add an E to her cherished high-school title.

But the problem with being the prome queen is that it comes with unintended meaning. According to the Urban Dictionary, "prome" is a word that describes a promiscuous person, working as the opposite of the word "prude." We don't think that was what this girl was going for initially.

Photo Opportunity

People will go into great lengths to make the best social media pictures. But inking your body with an ever-lasting tattoo of colorful suspenders is probably going too far. This man's future trips to the beach will get extremely confusing for everyone around him, but he doesn't seem to care.

For now, he seems very happy about his suspenders, which include two small finger tattoos and makes for a great photo opportunity. But will people still be laughing at his tattoo in the years to come, or is the joke really on him? Only time will tell, and there'll be plenty of it for this tattoo to be admired!

The Original Troll

The male body can sometimes be characterized by the sudden appearance of tufts of hair in the areas of the back and shoulders. For most men, these hairs are considered unappealing and removed as soon as possible. But this man decided to get creative!

Paying tribute to the troll dolls, known for their long hair, he crafted this hilarious tattoo that's about to turn him into the most popular guy at the pub. We have nothing to say against his sense of humor, but does he know that this joke will last forever?

Nobody Will Notice

The world is not always fair. While some people are born with beautiful leafy eyebrows, others have close to no hair above their eyes. For these men and women, drawing eyebrows with the use of make-up is an everyday task. But it doesn't have to be.

Using the power of tattoos, this woman has decided that enough is enough! She is never going to draw her eyebrows ever again because she found a way out. The only problem is that her new tattooed eyebrows are not exactly a masterpiece... To be fair, they look kind of cartoonish.

That's Just Outrageous!

This man loved his Converse All Star sneakers so much that he didn't ever want to take them off. But when he realized how uncomfortable it was to sleep with the sneakers on, he knew he had to try something different. So he devised this smart tattoo, turning his real feet into a legitimate pair of All Star sneakers.

If all of this sounds like an outrageous idea, that's because it is! The timeless design of the Converse All Star is made to go well with almost every outfit, but it was not conceived to include veins, nor fingers.

Well-Crafted Joke, or Hilarious Mistake?

There's no better way of remembering something than writing it on your hands. Inspirational hand tattoos can help you to keep a message on your mind, and allow you to have greater emotional control over your decisions. Whether this tattoo is a well-crafted joke or an honest mistake, the message carries through!

Planning in life is essential to avoid rushed decisions and errors that can lead you down a dark path. This woman is certainly keeping that in mind every single day, especially because she's extremely familiar with the consequences of not planning ahea. Sorry, ahead!
