We’ve seen some pretty bad tattoos in our time. Some were drunken mistakes, some were well-meaning but were executed horribly and some were borne out of sheer stupidity.
But the tattoo that a Texas man, who goes by the name of Chris Mendiola, got as a tribute to his dog really takes the cake. He had good intentions, and the tattoo was executed without complication, but after having the mark put permanently on his body, Chris, we have no doubts, immediately regretted his decision.
We’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite tattoo fails, so get comfortable, sit back and revel in the satisfaction that you’ve never done anything quite so foolish.
Surely the tattooist knew that this wasn’t what she meant…
Although we kind of doubt that the artist behind this particular tattoo was a professional.
We don’t know, we’re “juging” pretty hard right now…
“Pretty sure there’s some kinda ointment for that,” one reddit-user wrote. Yikes.
The spelling. The placement. Everything about this is bad.
“It’s is now or neveeeeeeer.”
Sorry, we mean “scool”.
But we’re delighted with the results to be really honest.
We can’t unsee this.
He looks in serious pain, poor guy.
Surely it wasn’t supposed to look like that…
We have a feeling that this tattoo turned out exactly as he wanted it to but it’s still awful – it’s still a huge fail in our eyes. No thank you.
But this is a huge fail. We’re cringing for her!
Chris noticed that his beloved pup, Bear, had a mark on his pelvic area.
“For those of you know bear know that he has a tattoo given to him from some previous owners,” Chris wrote in a Facebook post. “It sickens me to know that people actually tattoo their pets. So tonight I got his tattoo.”
Via Facebook.
“We talked to our vet about the tattoo. I knew what it meant,” he told Buzzfeed.
We think that this tattoo probably was a bit of a fail.
But it’s pretty cute anyway!
“A lot of people are saying ‘I’d do anything for my pet,’ but would you?” Mendiola asked. “Would you get a neutered sign tattooed on your bicep?”
Well, would you?
