Tattoos are either carefully curated, well-thought-out body art pieces or they are spur of the moment decisions you may or may not regret later on. This is a dichotomy that is mostly true.

Getting a tattoo should be a decision anybody should take lightly. Those lower back butterfly tattoos will forever be branded on your skin and you should really sleep on them before getting one.

You can always get those tattoos lasered off for sure, but that procedure not only costs a lot of money, it also hurts according to those who've done it. Plus, getting those tattoos will cost you a good chunk of money.

There are some rules people should keep in mind before getting inked. Rule number one: think twice before getting a tattoo from a friend who's just starting unless you absolutely trust their artistry, even then think about it carefully.

Second, don't get a tattoo while you're drunk; it might seem like a good idea but sober you will most definitely disagree. Third, only get tattoos from licensed artists!

We can repeat these common-sense warnings all the time but humans tend to be humans and get sh*tty tattoos anyway. These poor decisions led to a very interesting Q&A on Reddit.

Tattoo artists were asked what was the most effed-up thing they tattooed on someone and boy, oh boy did we get some ~ interesting ~ answers. Tattoos with unfortunate typos are mild compared to these ones.

The question that brought us down this rabbit hole:

1. It's funny enough to not be considered awful

2. Can't you just hear their laughter when they see this tattoo?

3. He'd rat what?

4. Satan's next door neighbor

5. A basic tattoo but make it cowboy

6. Is that a part of the 12-step program?

7. Of course Billy Jack liked it

8. Savage is so well-loved

9. What was his name and on which letter did he stop?

10. I'm pretty sure this counts as workplace harassment

11. This is just unfortunate, he could have just graffitied that on her house instead of on his forehead

12. She wasn't complete with her transformation

13. Can he twist that way to see them at least?

14. He's also in jail or rehab right? RIGHT?

15. That would be a no

16. Why was it... blue?

17. Can it swallow a whole egg?

18. Someone else commented: "stairway to Kevin"

19. Tattoo placement and proportion should always, always be a factor before getting inked

20. The lesson we learned from this is you should pick your friends better

21. Imagine going to med school for a decade and this is how your patients greet you

22. This was not on the Disney adaptation

23. Was all of this on one person?

24. It's like getting a dreamcatcher tattooed on you

25. We never intended to thank him in the first place

26. We love a person with a great sense of humor

27. Rumor has it, stamps are being made of this exact same tattoo

28. And that was the last time anybody has ever seen him naked

29. Two things he's passionate about

30. That's something I didn't think I'd read today

31. Pretty sure this is offensive

32. I wish I can unread this

33. You shouldn't take jokes this far

34. She's a buffet

35. He's trying to spread awareness about the constitution

Well, those are lovely images you can picture before going to bed. Tattoos are personal and at the end of the day, your body, your choice.

However, and this is a big however if your tattoo artist tells you to your face that you should think twice about it, you definitely should listen before you regret your tattoo and you're out a thousand bucks.
