People have been sharing the ‘best worst’ tattoos they’ve ever seen – 23 absolute humdingers that are never coming off

‘Went to uni with someone who had “Have Faith” on his arm in huge gothic lettering that somehow made the H look like a D. We called him Dave Faith.’

‘There’s an older woman I see at the bus station that has big portraits of all the members of Westlife on her lower legs.’

‘I met an (ex) skinhead who had got his mate to pin the word ‘psycho’ up the side of his temple, only his mate couldn’t spell.

‘Physco’

Someone there even asked him if he regretted it after he’d had it done! I thought they were going to get a slap but he just looked glum and defeated and sighed I regretted it before I had it done…’

‘A guy I worked with years ago had ‘I love you like the stars above, I’ll love you til I die’ tattooed along his forearm. As a Dire Straits fan I recognised it straight away and commented. Turns out he just thought it was a beautiful quote, not an ironic take on fleeting teenage romance.’

‘My dad has one of Elvis Presley that looks like a guy with an afro, it also has Elvis’ birthday underneath it, then a dash but no date of death as he didn’t know it so he used to write it in in biro, now he’s 70 he doesn’t bother anymore. It’s a truly bad tattoo and I love how ridiculous it is.’

‘One of my dad’s loose relatives, that he’s only met a couple of times is a huge Elvis fan. So much so that he designed his own tattoo of The King himself, stood atop a Vegas lightboard emblazoned with his name.

Problem is he’s thick. And he asked for the tattooist to copy it exactly.

So EVLIS is there, pride of place on his chest.’

‘A bloke who worked at my local chip shop had “NAN” tattooed behind his ear. You could only see it when he turned around and bent over to get a can of coke out the fridge.

It always made me laugh as it was in such an obscure place and such a vague tribute, could have been anyone’s nan.’

‘Girl at work has a tattoo of an anchor and the text “I refuse to sink”.

It is well done, but she got a bit annoyed at me when I pointed out anchors are designed to sink…’

‘Girl I went to school with had one of those 2000s “finger moustaches” tattooed onto her finger.’
–TheViscountRang

‘I know someone who got that as their first tattoo, only they passed out half way done so they have half a super light moustache on their finger now.’
–ExoJinx

‘A lower back tattoo which said “pure Welsh lamb” and another which said “daddy’s girl”.

I’m still not sure which is worse.’

‘Discussing tramp stamps at work and said what we would get, then one coworker said “I can’t have a tramp stamp cause that’s where Pluto is”

Pulls up her shirt and she has a god awful drawing of Disneys Pluto on her lower back in the classic panther pose, but he has “muddy footprints” leading from her ass crack, making it look like he is tracking poo covered footprints all over her back.’
