This is what happens when you don't do your homework!

There are bad tattoos, distasteful tattoos and down right awful tattoos.  While doing your homework won't cure your questionable taste it will prevent you from making the mistakes the owners of these terrible tattoos made.  Fail to prepare? Prepare to fail !

Here's my ever growing collection of bad tattoos, stupid tattoos, misspelled tattoos, terrible tattoos, down right awful tattoos and tattoos that just make you say, "Why?". You may laugh, you may cry but these cringe worthy tattoos have sadly found their way into tattoo fail folklore.
