Friday’s Ink Disaster: What Gang Members in New Zealand Tattoo on their Face
“A gang member wanted after a string of alleged domestic assaults on his estranged partner in the Waikato has been arrested in the Whanganui area.”
They don’t really talk much about the ridiculous tattoo on this guy’s face, but it’s got nothing but fail all over it. And I can’t even see what it is. Maybe a pit bull? What’s with gang members getting questionable tattoos on their um, faces? Read: Fugitive gang member arrested – Stuff.co.nz |

* Note we did not do this!
While this controversially bad tattoo has been floating around the internet for some time, one of our avid blog readers Joanne G. sent us this beautiful disaster for today’s ink disaster.

Speaking of double rainbows, this video went viral a few weeks ago and we still get a crack out of it:

Friday’s Ink Disaster: Face Tattoo “FTW”
* Note: we did not do this!
Meet Ottis Ryan, who is accused of running into the Little Pioneers Preschool in Wesley Chapel, Florida, and having a fit. From the Tampa Tribune: “Don’t feed those crying babies. Let them die!” It wasn’t clear how many – if any – children were nearby. School staff members declined to comment today. Singletary tried to distract him, Doll said, by asking him what he was carrying in the bag. He took out a multiblade knife which also had brass knuckles attached. Careful readers will notice the FTW tattoo on his face. For the win, sir, for the win. From Kansas City |

We’re assuming that the image on the right was supposed to be tattooed. Can’t really tell though.

Friday’s Ink Disasters: Asian Lettering & Hidden Meanings
* Note we did not do this!
Ever wonder if that script tattoo of Chinese or Japanese characters is really what they say it is? The Hanzi Smatter blog is dedicated to tattoos and other medium that use Asian lettering but fail to check their sources.
By the way, the tattoo on the left translates to something like, “Prepaid card for public transportation”. Fail. See more Asian character mix ups on Hanzi Smatter |
Friday’s Ink Disaster: Tattoo Regret — The Phobia
*** Note: We didn’t do this!
“I’m certainly not the first person to get drunk and get a tattoo. Many people before me have awoken from a drunken haze to see ink in their skin that they did not remember getting.
However, in my situation it proved to be a pretty big deal. My friends and I were having a few drinks, discussing various things that we fear. After a few hours and quite a few drinks, I confessed to them that I was deathly afraid of spiders — to the point that I run away like a little girl when I see one. They thought it was the funniest thing they had ever heard, and could not believe it to be true. I spent the next hour trying to explain to them what it was like for me living with this fear. My friend Paul informed me that during his last semester of psychology he learned that the best way to overcome a phobia is to expose yourself to it all the time, and what better way to do that then to have one tattooed on my skin?

Friday’s Ink Disaster: Coolio Misspells Tattoo
“He had it all planned out for “Juggalo Cool” to be inked on his left bicep with a little red dude sporting a mohawk — a reference to the Posse’s rabid fanbase that includes its own festival, slang, Faygo drinks and evil face paint. Unfortunately, tattoo pens don’t come with spell check because the artist misspelled “juggalo,” dropping a crucial “g” by accident. Instead, Coolio has a new tattoo that reads “Jugalo Cool” on his arm, which barely translates from Spanish to “Play it cool.”"

Friday’s Ink Disasters: Popular music artists inspire tattoos, make our skin crawl
*** Note: We didn’t do these!
“We thoroughly approve of showing appreciation for one’s favorite music artist. Really, we do. Buying music and going to concerts, for example, are healthy ways to express admiration.
However, if you ever feel the need to ink yourself with a bald Britney Spears or badly-drawn Backstreet Boy Kevin Richardson, we suggest that you examine these pictures first. They just might cause you to reconsider.” Read: Popular music artists inspire tattoos, make our skin crawl – The Daily Caller |
