There are so many people out there with tattoos. Skilled tattoos are works of art that capture the individuality and creativity of people perfectly, and they can be great reminders of people, places, pets or a certain moment in time.

Unfortunately, for every great tattoo out there, there is an equally bad tattoo fail to accompany it. Tattoo fails are tattoos gone wrong, whether inherently bad in design or made bad in execution.

Tattoo fails are particularly bad because they are permanent, and really hard to get rid of. They have to be removed by laser or covered, both of which are expensive, don't always work and are painful.

It's best to just avoid a tattoo fail by researching artists, thinking long and hard about a design and generally just using common sense.
