Not every tattoo is inked the same way. Some can make people do a double take and question what precisely happened there, while others can startle them and impress them with their aesthetic worth. Welcome to the Facebook group "That's It, I'm Inkshaming," a group of approximately 243k people that make fun of "Actually Bad Tattoos."
The purpose of the club is to share "really bad," subpar artwork in the hopes that it will make people laugh. It's not meant to be hurtful, and general jerkiness has no place here. To share with you today, dear friends, we've gathered some of the group's most intriguing feature photographs, the cream of the crop of awful tattoos. Enjoy the downhill scroll.
We discussed the methods by which tattoo artists refine their abilities, whether or not clients are always right, and what transpires if an artist makes a mistake when tattooing a person.
David told us, "Tattooists can practice on any number of items at first to assist them understand the mechanics and methods to tattoo properly.
"You wouldn't go to a carpenter to fix your boiler so why would you go to a black and grey realism artist and expect a traditional tattoo? Unless you go to an artist who excels at all styles, do some research, find out who specializes in what, and you more than likely won't be having any bad tattoos."
However, there are still a few options available if you're not satisfied with the tattoo you now have.
First of all, Young cautioned against returning to the original artist. "Many of the consumers I know have grumbled about the job they have received from someone else, yet they have gone back to them for more, expecting a different result—that doesn't make sense."
"Second, there's always a method to hide. Once more, do your research and locate a tattoo artist who specializes in coverups or at the very least has some expertise with it. You need to locate the best tattoo artist for the task because not all artists can cover their work and not all subpar work can be."
"If the tattoo was executed as discussed but you don't like it afterward, then unfortunately, that's just tough luck," he explained. "If it was done how it was discussed beforehand, then the tattoo was done as asked."
