Tattoos can be great. So many people now have tattoos, young and old. Tattoos can be a great way to express your creativity. They can also be used to commemorate something, like a person or a pet, or they can just be for fun.

No matter why someone gets a tattoo, one of the most important parts of deciding to get one is deciding what it's going to look like and who's going to do it.

Because tattoos are so permanent, a tattoo fail can be super devastating. It will lead to years of embarrassment and ridicule, and to hide or remove it will cost a significant amount. So it's best to just be confident in what tattoo is to come.

The people on Reddit's multiple tattoo-shaming subreddits did not do this, clearly. These 25 tattoos are pretty bad. Whether it's a bad design, a bad artist or both, surely no one will be recreating these tattoos.
