It’s easy to see the allure of tattoos especially among the millennial and X generations. It’s something most of our parents never did, warned us against and said “who will hire you if you have all those tattoos?” What’s a bigger ef you to the man and the establishment than a well placed tattoo or ten? That was until EVERYONE started getting one like your mom’s friends and those chicks on spring break who got the belly button tatt or the dudes with the barbed wire… or now, celebrities.
Sure, most tattoos hold special meaning and significance but what about when tattoos go wrong. WAAAAYYY wrong. Bekah and I made an almost living talking about Twilight on a daily basis for years and some of our most popular posts were about Twilight tattoos gone wrong. So it happens. And it happens a lot cause there are tons of bad tattoo “artists” out there and tons of people with shitty taste. But it’s even better when bad tattoos happen to celebrities because they’re out there for all of us to see… ALL THE TIME.
Let’s count down some of the worst:
Justin Bieber

Arguably the worst offender from his Mario Brothers tatt to his crappy Banksy rip off tatt to the greek characters for Jesus this kid doesn’t know what he wants but he wants it all. His tattoos might be a metaphor for his life.
Rhianna

For the most part Rhianna’s tattoos are small and delicate and placed in very feminine, delicate locations… then she went and got that chest piece and the multiple tatts on her hand including the one she didn’t like that she had covered by another equally awful one.
Harry Styles

Nothing says badass like a huge butterfly chest piece to go with your tattoos of a hanger and a birdcage. Watch out ladies, this is a real badboy here.
David Beckham

Poor David Beckham lands on this list solely because of his tribute TRAMP STAMP tattoo of his son Brooklyn’s name. Come on, David.
Chris Brown

All around jackass, lady beater and f*ck-up for life, it shouldn’t come as a surprise Chris Brown is on this list. Namely for his tattoo of what is supposed to be, according to him, a sugar skull but what really looks like the clown version of a beaten up Rhi-Rhi. Throw into the mix, fighter jets, rattlesnakes, a t-rex, and of course Jesus. Cause really, what bad celebrity tattoos would be complete without the big JC himself, Jesus Christ? Too bad these tattoos can’t be GIFs because ol Jesus would probably be shaking his head at this mess.
What’s your favorite bad celebrity tattoo? Which ones did we miss? If you could get ANY tattoo (without consequences or judgement) what would you get?
