Tattoos are a fun way for people to express themselves in a creative form, even if they are kind of uncomfortable to get. Tons of people have tattoos, with some people having one or two and others getting hundreds on their skin. People can put a whole lot of meaning into a tattoo or no meaning at all, it's personal preference. Tattoos can be used to memorialize someone or something, they can make a person feel unique or boost their confidence, or they can just be for fun. No matter why someone gets a tattoo, people should be careful when considering who to let tattoo them.

Tattoos are very permanent; that's kind of the whole point of them. People are stuck with their tattoos forever unless they use a laser to remove them or cover them with more tattoos. Both of those processes can be a pain, though, so it is best to get them done right the first time. There are millions of failed tattoos out there, though, which proves that people don't think before committing. A bad design, a bad artist, or a combination of those two elements can leave someone with a major tattoo disaster.

Have a look at these 26 tattoos that turned out so badly, it is a little disturbing to see. These tattoos are odd, peculiar, interesting, and just plain bad. People really need to start thinking before getting inked.
