Let me just say: I like tattoos. I have tattoos. Which is precisely why I know how important it is to choose a tattoo wisely. Believe me, one minute you're sure you want some dude's initials inked on your ankle forever, the next you're trying to figure out how to turn those initials into a catchphrase you can stand to look at every day for the rest of your life. So while I've resigned myself to the fact that my kids will probably end up going under the needle at some point, I still hope against hope that they won't end up with some undeserving love interest's initials on their skin or, worse -- one of these monster-pieces.
Like this winner right here. I mean, skulls are cool. I got nothin' against goth. But I'm not sure about this skeleton grim reaper dude with little wings. I mean, why is he harvesting a garden of baby heads?
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that tattoo significantly narrowed down its owner's employment options. Just like these 5 terrible tattoos no mom would ever want to see on her teen's body.

Tattoo's are just that...tattoo's. Some, yes, are tacky or even scarey but all are still expressions and meaning for whomever and for whatever might have or might happen to a person. My oldest is full of them and each one with meaning specifically for him in his life. Yes, a few have even cost him a job/interview but people are so busy stereotyping that they forget how to actually get to know a person. Just because you have a multitude of tats..or have had this that or the other happen in your lifetime..does not make you, him, her, them or us a bad person or people. As with anything...just an opinion.
This article is so dumb. Who cares what kind of tattoos people get? Judgemental much? I could see if you put the woman who got "DRAKE" tattooed across her forehead or Zac Efron's yolo tattoo on his hand. Those ones are crying out for attention. The tattoos in the slideshow are fairly easily hidden and not that out of the ordinary when it comes to tattoos.
I got mine when I was an adult , never regret it they are meaningful ones to series of my life
i love tattoos. if they get a bad one the regret later, then that is their issue. remove or cover, or get over it. lol. im getting one covered when i get my sleeves. not that i regret it, it was just done badly and wrong. lol.
This is how I see it. Unless my son is under 18, I have no say whatesoever on whether he gets a tattoo or not. The way I see it is if my son wants a tattoo at 14 he waits 2 years to see if he still wants it and then I'll help him get it. No matter what it is.
Lets see your tattoos then, so we can all judge them and tell you how stupid you are and how tacky and awful they are. See how you like it.
Not everyone immediately thinks of putting their boyfriend or girlfriend's initials/name on them when they decide to get a tattoo. If you did and regret it than you're probably far more stupid than a lot of the people than you put up in your slideshow who at least have some originality.
