Tattoos are supposed to express a person’s individuality, but sometimes, a person’s individuality sucks – or it might seem unique but it isn’t. Case in point: tattooing your girlfriend’s name in hearts. After all, what’s more personal than your one true love? Nothing - now, but what happens if, dare I say it?, you break up? There are few things a person regrets more than a bad tattoo. A bad tattoo is there for you no matter what and it will only go away if you’re willing to shed thousands of pesos.

1. Connect the Dots
If you’re going to get a tattoo, you might as well go all the way. No one’s going to make the effort to connect those dots.

2. Face X-ray
Seriously? Who do you think wants to see that?

3. Bible Verse Tramp Stamp
No matter what the tattoo says, there’s only one thing people are going to think when you have a tattoo on top of your ass crack: tramp.

4. Chinese Symbols
You better make sure you and your tattoo artist understand Chinese. If not, you’re better off getting another design. What you think says, “love” could just as easily say, “egg.”

5. Armpit Tattoo
First of all, you don’t walk around with your arms up in the air. Having a tattoo on your armpits will only make you look more stupid.

6. Pac-man
As much as everyone loves Pac-man, no one wants to see the game on your ass.

7. Face on the Back of Your Head
Tempting it may be to have eyes on the back of your head, there’s a reason why you’re not born that way.

8. Cartoon Character
Tattoos are bad ass. You put Spongebob. What?

9. Food
Unless it has some special meaning, don’t. It’s too random and totally unappetizing.

10. Distorted Face
Before getting a tattoo of your beloved, you might wanna make sure the artist can perfectly draw her face.
