Tattoo fails have got to be one of the funniest things on the planet! How is that people decide that they want to get a tattoo, which is permanent, and then do so without double-checking that it’s indeed what they wanted. These hysterical tattoo fails will not just make you burst out laughing, they will make you double (even triple) check the next tattoo you wish to have inked on your body.
These days there are a few things you could do if you are not satisfied with your tattoo. There is the option of having laser surgery to get it removed. Some people choose to get creative and they manage to cover up an old tattoo with something prettier. This is usually the case when it comes to tattoos of ex-boyfriends or ex-girlfriends who we thought we would never separate from. Their name usually requires very creative engineering to change something like “Elizabeth” to a detailed portrait of Ellen DeGeneres… it has really happened. Google it.
But what about spelling errors on tattoos? They happen more often than you might think. If you aren’t convinced, then just take a look at the people in this gallery. You get the usual misspelling of ‘your’ and ‘you’re’, but then you get some others that in my opinion, are inexcusable. You can’t help but ask yourself, “What were these people thinking?” and “Why did no-one stop them?” I guess some people could not let an opportunity of humor go by without hopping on. You also start to wonder why the tattoo artist doing the job didn’t say something, or maybe they thought something like, “Well if this is what the client wants, then this is what the client will get. The customer is always right – that’s what they say.”
Now enough of this tattoo banter, it is time to get involved and take a look at the most hilarious tattoo fails that have practically broken the internet. That could be a little bit of an exaggeration, but we’ll let you be the judge of that. Here is a slideshow of the funniest, the most ridiculous, the most intense, and the most embarrassing tattoo fails of all time. Enjoy!
They Just Fit So Well
Finding your soulmate is like searching for the other part for your two-part puzzle. But what are you to do when your significant other is a corner piece just like you?
They Just Fit So Well
Loves Her Ice Cream
I know a few people who have a sweet tooth, but what would you call this? A sweet cheek? No, I don’t think that would go down too well.
Loves Her Ice Cream
She Sees You In Her Dreams
Is this creepy or sweet? I mean how would you feel about your wife or girlfriend looking at you even when she’s asleep? So we agree, creepy it is.
She Sees You In Her Dreams
That’s Your Mom
Before Marion gave birth, she thought what her baby might see first. When she realized that it would be her, she made sure to get herself a little bit of permanent make-up.
That’s Your Mom
Wait, Who’s Brenda?
There’s someone in Greg’s life, can you guess who it is? Brenda must be a wonderful woman, and Greg thinks so too, he just hasn’t built up the courage to speak to her yet.
Wait, Who’s Brenda?
Unforgettable
Has there ever been a time when you ate a meal that was so good you didn’t ever want to forget it? Most people take a couple of pictures, even write it in their journals, but not Terry. Terry gets a tattoo of the receipt on his arm.
Unforgettable
Muddy Marilyn
Who doesn’t know who Marilyn Monroe is? Everyone does really, but I can promise you that there is a good number of people who would have no idea who this is.
Muddy Marilyn
Drake Mistake
Drake might not know about this superfan, but this superfan sure knows about Drake. When it comes to tattoo fails perhaps getting one with someone else’s name on your forehead is a clear sign.
Drake Mistake
Programming Is Life
It’s not uncommon for people to dream about their jobs. But this guy took it further than just dreaming about coding, he got it tattooed onto his arm. Now that’s dedication.
Programming Is Life
Where Do We Start?
He’s not going to lay you down on a bed of roses, and do you know why? Well because his name isn’t Jon Bon Jovi, it’s Jon Bovi, apparently. The spelling isn’t great either, but we can’t expect more from Jon Bovi, can we.
Where Do We Start?
Feeling Content With Body Odor
So here’s how it works – you get two really great choices when you go to a tattoo parlor. They offer you to get any tattoo you want, and anywhere you want. “Onion on my armpit” is a valid request.
Feeling Content With Body Odor
Merriage Is Permanent
The moment a couple engages in a proposal is a moment they will remember for the rest of their lives. So make it count and make sure it’s not one riddled with spelling mistakes.
Merriage Is Permanent
Oh, The Irony
We can look at this two ways: either he has a great sense of humor, or he really doesn’t stick to his own advice. I’d like to grant him the honor of believing it’s the first.
Oh, The Irony
Remember This, Kids
Ah yes, with so many choices of tattoos to get, why not get a school bus. Nothing says you’re too cool for school quite like this masterpiece.
Remember This, Kids
Walking Advertising Board
There’s no shame in trying to get a promotion. But maybe there’s a line to draw when you attend your weekly AA meeting and you have a tattoo of a website on your forehead.
Walking Advertising Board
To Big What?
It might only be a single letter, but without it everything is wrong. All he needs is another ‘O’ and this would all be kay… O-kay!
To Big What?
This Could Have Been Different
There’s nothing quite like having regrets before you’ve made a decision. “What would you like the tattoo to read, son?” “Hmmm, let’s go with ‘I regret this tattoo.'”
This Could Have Been Different
Is This Hefner’s Arm?
Who said you can’t have a sense of humor when it comes to tattoo fails? This guy sure knows how to make the most out of a sad situation. We hope Hollie is good with it too.
Is This Hefner’s Arm?
A Writer’s Motto
As a writer I can totally get behind this motto, but something tells me that ‘pen’ is not what he meant.
A Writer’s Motto
Who’s Going To Tell Him?
It could just be a smudge. Possibly. Either way that apostrophe is definitely not meant to be there, just like this guy was never supposed to be at the tattoo parlor.
Who’s Going To Tell Him
*You’re
Life is all about progress. Sometimes that means tackling one issue at a time. So when Suzy corrected the spelling on her tattoo, she had completed 1 out of 2.
*You’re
Belief In Miracles
How’s this for a message to send to the masses? Oh, I don’t mean the motto of the tattoo, I mean spell-checking before permanently inking your body.
Belief In Miracles
Do You C It?
She’s absolutely right, and no-one can tell her otherwise. It’s just a ‘C’ that’s missing, nothing big. And maybe she intended to be ridiculous… sorry, ridiuolous.
Do You C It?
As Long As You Rember
Is there something that I’m missing here? If I forget before I remember, haven’t I just forgotten? And how will I know which one I’ve done?
As Long As You Rember
Instructions For Mom
Before you start judging, did you maybe think that this dude is a sensitive guy? I don’t mean his feelings, I mean his body. He needs special care when it comes to washing himself.
Instructions For Mom
The Same Goes For Tattoo Fails
So this ‘life’ thing, you mean I’ve been doing it all wrong until now? I’ve been living, should I have been lifeing? This surely ranks high on the tattoo fails list.
The Same Goes For Tattoo Fails
Except This
If you haven’t seen the issue yet, take a second glance. Life certainly should not be about regrets, but I can assure you that it shouldn’t be about regerts either… whatever those are anyway.
Except This
The Most Famous
Who else has this tattoo? I really hope you don’t know anyone other than Mike Tyson with it. This has got to be one of the most iconic tattoo fails in history.
The Most Famous
God’s Plan
It’s not right to judge someone until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes. But where does it say anything in the Bible about fudging someone? And since when does God have the right to fudge us?
God’s Plan
Where Are These ‘Ledgends’?
Is this a new Marvel series coming out that we don’t know about? Either way it doesn’t sound too exciting, I’m sorry to say so.
Where Are These ‘Ledgends’?
Or Your Tattoo Artist For That Matter
She’s absolutely right – don’t let your past make your decisions, or your tattoo artist in any case. That is especially true when they can’t spell.
Or Your Tattoo Artist For That Matter
Your Spelling Is A Marshian
We have to give this guy the easy way out, because the word ‘martian’ can be easily spelled out as mar-shin. But you would think that he’d check that out before becoming another tattoo fails candidate.
Your Spelling Is A Marshian
In Case You Forget
For anyone who doesn’t know, YOLO means “You Only Live Once”. So for the rest of his life he won’t have to explain that to anyone, they can just read it themselves.
In Case You Forget
Makes Sense
“My, what a beautiful child you must have!” Said no-one ever based on this very disturbing tattoo of a young child eating a sock.
Makes Sense
It’s Hereditary
We all have our own family traditions, but Kevin was really upset about his. All the men in family grew great, big, twirly mustaches, but he couldn’t. So he did what he could.
It’s Hereditary
What? Just What?
Yeah, sure I’ve heard those song lyrics… when I was completed wasted and we were at a Bulgarian karaoke bar.
What? Just What?
Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey is one of the most beautiful and talented women out there. But I draw the line at getting her name tattooed across my back.
Mariah Carey
So… Always Give Up?
So this doesn’t make any sense if anyone was wondering. This tattoo basically tells us that it’s okay to fail… all the time.
So… Always Give Up?
ALLways
Ladies and gentlemen, what you’re witnessing is this young woman’s first lesson. And it comes in the form of a misspelled tattoo.
ALLways
An Extreme Mistake
Would you consider this to be an extreme tattoo? It certainly is, except that it isn’t spelled right. There’s a ‘t’ that needs to be somewhere in there, right?
An Extreme Mistake
You Know What Else Is Awful?
Considering that this tattoo is on her back, it’s possible that it will take her an awfully long time to realize what’s wrong with it.
You Know What Else Is Awful?
This Is Tragic
Oh the comedy! Oh the tragedy! Oh the terrible spelling error that makes this so hilariously ironic.
This Is Tragic
When Avocado Is Life
Do you love eating avocados? Can you guess who else does? It’s a pretty colorful tattoo, but it looks kind of scary.
When Avocado Is Life
And A Spelling Test Is Coming For You
Another one of these spelling tattoo fails and I think I’ll explode. How many times do we need to explain the difference between ‘your’ and ‘you’re’.
And A Spelling Test Is Coming For You
Something Else To Read On The Toilet
So we understand that he’s a bibliophile, but is there a word for someone who gets tattoos of dictionary definitions?
Something Else To Read On The Toilet
Owning Up To Them
Honestly, this is the most direct tattoo on our list. At least this dude is willing to admit his errors in judgement. However, we have to say he could have just said this aloud instead of opting for the ink, but this is one way to never forget your mistakes…
Owning Up To Them
We’ll Keep Laughing
Despite this being a major tattoo fail, it does keep the viewer “smilEing.” Also, it’s an interesting choice to go with a tiny mint candy and not the usual yellow, generic smiley. At least they kept it original!
We’ll Keep Laughing
So So Close
Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, they’re both great musicians…but there is definitely a huge difference between the two! Honestly, this is a great rendition of Jimi, but that bottom part needs to be fixed ASAP! Unless, they actually wanted Bob Marley, which would be a much more costly repair.
So So Close
Being Honest
Now, this one isn’t exactly a tattoo fail, but it’s definitely a tattoo you don’t see everyday! Seriously, this guy deserves some respect for this hysterical tattoo!
Being Honest
Your Right, You Know
I mean for one thing, the tattoos look like they were seared onto his skin. Anyway, this is a tragic but oh-so common mistake with your and you’re. If you’re getting a permanent tattoo on your body, it’s probably best to double check if you’re unsure.
Your Right, You Know
Not My Daughter
Of course, we understand the concept of artistic freedom, but this is just a bit over the line. Come on, if this was your daughter would you be okay with this interpretation?
Not My Daughter
Angel? Maybe A Private Tutor
No, just no. Not sure which is worse the whole concept of the tattoo, or the fact that they couldn’t get the simple phrase correct anyway. Please, people, get it together! No “i” in angel, but there is an “i” in idiot!
Angel? Maybe A Private Tutor
We Almost Let You Have It
There should be a spelling test before you can get a tattoo. Also, what exactly does this guy even mean with the last half? It’s looks like you’re living dude, but just not thriving.
We Almost Let You Have It
He Loves Cheetos
Now, that’s some committment. Cheetos, you know they never hurt you, they’re always there for you, they’re just…Yeah we’re guessing this dude’s love for Cheetos will never die. In Cheetos “snax,” he fully trusts.
He Loves Cheetos
A Bad Break Up
Ah, a rough break-up. People argue what the worst part is…coming across their old things in your room, seeing them happy with someone else, running into their parents, but removing a tattoo is also up there. That’s why this guy decided to get creative and let the world know how he really felt!
A Bad Break Up
No More Loyal Than This
Maybe she just really loved the Kendrick Lamar and Rihanna song, so she decided to pay them tribute…on her face. Okay, but actually what is she proving to anyone by having that tattoo? Who questioned her loyalty? Who drove her to this point??!
No More Loyal Than This
A Poet’s Back
Some may say Dave or whoever this guy is has a sense of humor and no shame about a ridiculous tattoo. However, we have to say it seems an extreme length to go for a joke. Was the microwave punchline really that funny?
A Poet’s Back
Not My President
Yes, everyone has heard the saying “not my president” after Donald Trump got elected. However, maybe Americans can take that phrase a bit more literally when looking at this awful depiction. Surely, that cannot be my president…wait, that’s supposed to be Trump?
Not My President
When You Insist On Designing Your Own Tattoo
I mean maybe he was an okay artist, but then he went ahead and decided to draw his own tattoo. That’s when things went south. Well, at least his dog won’t say anything negative, but as for his friends, we can’t make any promises.
When You Insist On Designing Your Own Tattoo
Tattoo Fails
Just like getting your arms or back or feet or legs tatted, getting ink on your face is also just another way for a person to express his or herself. Like it or not, this woman has chosen to express herself with some tasteful ink on her face.
Tattoo Fails
No Need To Study
We all know the type, a saint with a free pass, able to get out of anything. Yeah, saints have it so easy, especially with tests, they all have a pass, always, no need to ever study. Oh, wait, if every sinner has a future, what’s the opposite of future? Mhm…
No Need To Study
Pikachu, Where Are You?
No, but really where is Pikachu because this strange, constipated looking creature surely cannot be him. Yeah, this is definitely not a Pokemon. Let’s just hope this is pen ink and not a real tattoo.
Pikachu, Where Are You?
Death Before Dishonor
Just because you add in a u, doesn’t mean you’re British now. Is that what this guy was hoping for? Maybe, he thought, if I add a ‘u’ it will make up for the horrible quality of the tattoo. Fancy, eh? No sir.
Death Before Dishonor
Too Literal
We all know that one person who takes everything way too literally. Yeah, this buddy right here either is one of them or fell victim to one. Oh, well. You always have your other arm.
Too Literal
Getting Over Your Ex Like
It’s always risky to get a tattoo dedicated to your significant other, but we have seen some epic ways of moving on, including this one. Who doesn’t want a huge tribute to the grim reaper on their body forever?
Getting Over Your Ex
Gaurd Or Guard?
Seriously, it’s just the spelling of guard throwing us off. This man’s tattoo is nowhere near as horrific as some of the others. Beautiful calligraphy, check, meaningful life lesson, check, but then came spelling. So close.
Gaurd Or Guard
Care For Some T?
There’s hope for this one, right? Maybe she could just get a small little ‘t’ squeezed in there? We’re not giving up hope just yet for her, but first she needs to notice the mistake…
