Bad tattoos are almost an art form in themselves. Truly, who could want to have a bad tattoo on their skin permanently? Yet sometimes, it seems that some people are in some kind of race to see who can get the worst ink out there.
We here at Bored Panda love things that are so bad they cross the threshold into being absurdly funny. The subreddit “Bad Tattoos,” then, is the perfect place to roam if you’re looking to poke some lighthearted fun at others’ bad decisions. Here is yet another compilation of the worst of the best from the subreddit that is like a PSA of thinking twice before getting that tattoo.
