What do you consider to be a "bad tattoo"?

Question

I'm very picky when it comes to appreciating someone's body art. What tattoos out there do you think are just bad?

Answer 1

I think a lot of it is personal preference, but a guiding rule could be, if you cannot show it to your grandma, you shouldn't get it. There is cool,and then there is propriety. Knowing the diffference is key.

Answer 2

I have 10 tattoo's & I'm very picky also. There is a real difference between a good tattoo artist & a not so good one. I think anyone's tattoo is fine cuz it's what they wanted, but the way it's done is the key. When the edges are blurry or the colors aren't clear of each other, I think they look bad. There's a guy that took his drawings into a tattoo shop & the tattoo guy traced them & tattoo'd them on the guys arms, they look Hideous- The lines were too fine in the picture so they all blended together & looked crooked. The tattoo guy must not have had enough experience to know that the tattoo would turn out bad.

Answer 3

No. I don't view you as bad association - if you want to know what I view you as magpie, it would be a big sister I don't have. We've had some nice conversations before and you are so lovely. You shouldn't be judged on what you were or what you were into - 1 Corinthians 6:9 lists who will not inherit God's kingdom and then says, and thats what some of you were. Although these may not apply to your past, its the principle that yes, you may have veered off from the truth (so did I in a way) but all that matters is that you are back and doing what Jehovah asks. Don't worry about what others say, you are a lovely person. Jehovah knows. Lots of love and hugs, your little sister :)

Answer 4

"speaking" as someone who has a tattoo, i would tell you that the only "Bad" tattoos are those that are nothing more than the name of a significant other (wife/girlfriend or husband/boyfriend); those your regret and those that are poorly done.

if you wish to have a "tribute" tat done, have either the name or image of a loved one who is "in-line" (parent/grandparent or child/grandchild) tattooed on your arm or shoulder blade. think about the consequences of having your girlfriend's name tattooed onto your chest, and you break up six months later, then get together with another girl.....so here you are dating "Sarah" and the name tattooed on your chest is "Julie" (what will sarah think)

Answer 5

Any tattoo that doesn't symbolize some meaning for the person who has it. I think it's very important to think about why and where you get a tattoo. If it means something to you, great. If it doesn't mean anything to you, maybe you should skip getting it done. I also don't think it's such a good idea to get tattoos on your face and neck. They are just too hard to conceal if needed.

Answer 6

A tattoo that looks like George Bush

Answer 7

A bad tattoos are generally ones you either got when you were young or ones you got on the cheap, of which i was guilty of both twice in my past.
But i got some money together, covered the rubbish ones over and i'm now very happy with the ones i have.

Answer 8

All tattoos mean something different to everybody. They are personal to each of us and they are not for us to judge. Therefore, the only "bad" tattoo would and should be one that the tattoo artist did a poor job on. We are in America, if you like something and it feels right to you, then hey... go for it!

Answer 9

Any tattoo that is made using inferior dyes, dirty needles, and sloppy handwork is a bad tattoo.
As to the images, well, if the image tends to spread out over time it looks bad too.

Answer 10

My brother and my mother had conflict and he refuses to speak to her. He has a skeleton demon dragon full across his back. The legs are pulled together and holding a woman doggy style by her waist. She is tatted with 666 on her arm (in the tat) the face of the woman is our mother.... that's a bad tattoo

Answer 11

"Bad tattoos" to me is when there are too many all over the body and not in a significant area and when the tattoo starts to dull and decolour, it's definite an ugly sight.
