Some tattoos catch the eye with their creativity and unique design, but their final result is surprising and disconcerting, defying logic and common sense. Not all the tattoos you'll see below are bad; some are absurd, and others are complex to execute.
Most of the tattoos included in this compilation require a second look to understand what the artist intended to convey.
