superbooyah.com/index.php/Home/Galleries/Sports/The-50-Most-Asinine-Sports-Fan-Tatoos-Of-All-Time.htmlYeah, I've taken a liking to "worst tattoo" lists. Holy fuck, the things people PAY to have permanently etched into their bodies. These babies range from a simple Raiders tramp stamp to....just fucking insanity. My favorite of the lot has to be this one:  "Fuck New York" with planes bombing the World Trade Center with what appears to be the face of some sort of demon-possessed terrorist just above. I'm sure he doesn't regret that one bit, no siree. I also have to laugh at people who get living famous people tattooed on them. That's practically begging for that celeb to go to jail on charges of child molestation or something. Then again, Tyson was a convicted rapist before that one guy's tattoo so I guess fame and past athletic prowess supersedes being a horrible human being andd a sexual predator.

I have one tattoo. One. I want maybe one more. People are different. But this is just pathetic. Why start a war on your body? Fair enough if the tattoo was actually of decent quality. The one featured on your post looks like a drunk 16 year old with MS did it. Agreed however. People pay stupid amounts to have literal shit inked on their bodies for life. Below are some example of the worst ones I have ever seen! Why, just why would you want it? There's a keeper. There's a person I want to be with. |

I am aware that there are far worse out there but I just don't get why with these

Whoah. Dude. Just.....no.
On second thought, we don't know the guy. His boyfriend might be named Andy and they may be foot fetishists. I've actually posted multiple threads about how disturbing I find the adult obsession with Pixar to be (says the Ghibli aficionado). That tat does not help. Oh, and what is up with the Hitler (that is supposed to be him, right?) stamp? Just bizarre.

I'm just amazed by the number of people with tattoos these days, period. Go to the beach or the swimming pool and it seems 80% of the people got em. I know one idiot who got a giraffe tat covering most of her right shin and calf, another dude who got a bull dog in the same place (huh?), and a bunch of guys who got their last names tatted across their backs (like a jersey), and I'm always left wondering what's the damn point.

I remember when having a tattoo automatically meant you were some kind of unemployable criminal in most people's eyes. Now, you're a social outcast if you don't have at least 3. And about 90% of them are lame. I worked with a guy who got what appeared to be be a Mexican "Dia del la Muerta" design. Kind of like this one.  Looked pretty cool so I asked him about it and his response was an uptight "I just got it because it looked evil and stuff". Then he got super butthurt and shut down when I told him that those images are tributes to the departed and not meant to be even a little evil. So even when people get badass tats, it seems it's usually on accident. Back in the day, if you got a tattoo, it meant something. It wasn't just some shit you picked randomly out of an art book so people would think you are cool. Why spend hundreds of dollars on a PERMANENT body alteration that doesn't mean shit to you? And why not at least have a clue what you want and why before you even rush out to get it done? Spending all that money and time to get something that you don't even understand the meaning of just strikes me as dumb. |

I'm just as lost as you are. One of the aforementioned "jersey" tat guys I know told me he "didn't really know what to get... so I just got this." Clever.
Your 90% estimate is spot on. I only know a few people who have cool ones or meaningful ones, and I'd guess at least half the people I know have tats. I remember one guy who had a brief stint as bassist of Megadeth would get a tattoo of every band he'd ever played in. Sure enough, he got fired about a month after he inked "Megadeth" into his skin.
As far as cool ones go, I know one dude (he's a 50 year old British dude) who's got a tat on his back of some sort of Greek or Roman hero fighting a sea monster, which is insanely badass. Being an avid boater, it makes moderate sense that he's got it, too.

Oh yeah, just to clarify, I'd like to point out that I think tattoos are an awesome art form and a really cool tattoo or set of tattoos is something worth celebrating. I'm just making fun of the clueless types who just pick any lame thing to permanently etch into their skin because they think it will help them fit in or look tough, or some other vapid thing.

I have been without job for the last couple of months so have had a lot of time to watch trashy shows on dmax. Basically because I like Tattoos I have watched London, Miami & LA ink everyday for the last month or so and have picked up on a few things. People really should know what they want before they go for their tattoo. I hate when people use the books to choose what they want. The books are supposed to be there as a reference when you know what you want but can't decide how you want it to look. I myself have been a book chooser in the past and I know have a classy little Chinese symbol on my shoulder which matters fuck all to show for it. I can not wait to cover that up. On the subject of moronic tattoos here is a pretty funny one.  I support Newcastle United Football Club and about 15 years ago one of our biggest players was a guy called Andy Cole. He was a hero and scored many goals over his career with Newcastle. So much so that this guy had him permanently etched on his thigh. Unfortunately as the transfer window opened about a week after he had finished his tattoo and we sold Mr Cole to Manchester United. The story was so funny and tragic it made the national press. Moral of the story. Do NOT get players inked on you they probably wont stay there. Here are some funny but stooopid ones      and my personal favorite. D'oh!  |

Whoah. That Raining Men one is wrong even by my standards. Whenever I see some white person with an Asian symbol on them, I tell them that I used to study Chinese or Japanese and that their tattoo actually means "cockmaster". In my mind, it always does. I met a guy with one once and a Japanese coworker of mine informed him that the kanji on his neck was comically misspelled. He had to go back and have the tattoo artist fix it. The moral of the story: if you can't read it, don't get it. If you really need "HOPE" or "FAITH" or some other gayness inked into your body, just do it in English. Fucking white people, man. They'll do anything over here to act like they aren't white.

Yeah well as I said I have said Chinese symbol and it does actually mean Lucky and I had a Chinese person I know who lives in the canaries translate it and she said it roughly means lucky as the Chinese don't have a direct word for such a thing. Anyway I feel it is trashy (no pun intended) and was thinking of getting some sort of mega cool horror tattoo to cover it. I have been looking into get it done by an artist off the ink programmes as they are regularly doing conventions.  Norman Bates next to him dressed as Norma Obvs but no face as to not provide spoilers lol  something like this with maybe Michael myers above them both looking down  Obviously the tattoo will have to be alot smaller I was thinking about maybe my whole right shoulder blade and the whole tattoo was going to be in black and Grey shading with the only bit of color being Pennywise's nose which would be bright red. What you think? |

I would propose marriage to any woman with any of those tattoos on sight.

(That's not me, obviously, but it's the same one, pretty much). I really hope becoming a Jehovah Witness is the worst thing Prince does in his lifetime... Man oh man. Those sports tattoo's. Fucking insane. And not even in a cool way, but in a really lame, fucking retarded way. Those twin tower ones are just unspeakable. Imagine the pond-life who looks in the mirror and sees THAT every day and doesn't regret it. I'm not into sports in any way (that don't involve steel chairs and shouting at the camera) so all of the references are lost on me, but Mrs C's Newcastle story sums the whole thing up. These people are playing for a team for MONEY. If they get a better deal they are out of there. You kinda strike me as the sort of guy who WOULD have a tattoo, Trashy. Never been tempted? |

A little. But to spend the money and dive into that world, I'd have to obsessed with getting it, and I just don;t feel strongly enough to take that plunge. Chances are, if it wasn't so mainstream, I'd have done it on principle, but when everyone else is doing it it just doesn't interest me as much.
