Last night Daniel was telling me about a friend of ours whose boyfriend is a tattoo artist. She was saying she wants to get a tattoo on the side of her finger that looks like a moustache. When people ask what it is, she can hold her finger up above her lips to show them.

I thought that was pretty funny. In our discussion, it came out that Daniel had never done a google search for the terms “bad tattoo.” He immediately went to the computer and typed it in. Much hilarity ensued.

Here’s the first one we found:

It’s called Little Blueberry Man. We laughed pretty hard at how bad it is.

The we moved on. What came up first were the more famous bad tattoos, which you may have seen already. Daniel hadn’t. I don’t know how he’d managed to live so long without ever seeing Mr Cool Ice:

Here’s my personal fave:

Daniel just saw me writing this post and asked me what you call that creature. My answer: Magnificent.

When we came across this one, Daniel told me a joke that our son Elijah had told him:

Chuck Norris can cure cancer—with his tears. But it’s never happened because Chuck Norris doesn’t cry.

Then came the tattoos that look like they’re drawn by a four year old. Well, let me amend that. A right-handed four year old, using their left hand.

Crooked hair. Lopsided, giantic mouth. And wading in fish scales. Pretty talented four year old.

This four year old must have very irresponsible parents:

After that we started venturing into the what-the-heck-were they thinking territory:

Think maybe she asked for a Chinese dragon and got this instead?

This may be the best tattoo, ever:

If only you could combine that somehow with the Patrick Swayze centaur, I think the world might stop spinning on its axis.

I’m sure her pastor appreciates this one:

I’m not sure there’s a person alive who can fully appreciate this one:

Give it a minute to soak in. Note the mustache…the eyebrows. The double chin.

Then we turned it up a notch. Not disturbed yet? You’re about to be.

He must be a really big chess fan.

This last one really brings out his amazing hazel eyes:

Another view, in case you don’t think it’s real.

After all that, little blueberry man looks pretty good, don’t you think?
