Tattoos That Should Be Covered Up for Everyone's Sake
Tattoos are supposed to show personality, but some designs make you wonder if people ever outgrew kindergarten finger painting. Creepy portraits, misspelled quotes, or random symbols don’t just haunt the wearer; they traumatize everyone nearby. Skin isn’t a canvas for impulse; it’s a billboard you can’t take down.
People make choices they regret forever. A “fun idea” inked on a whim quickly becomes a lifetime warning sign for friends, family, and strangers who never asked to see it.
Looking at the worst decisions ever etched in ink, it’s obvious artistry and judgment don’t always travel together. Some scream “regret,” others whisper “cover this up.”
