There are two extreme important factors to consider in getting a tattoo. First, you have to decide what it should be. A person's name may become obsolete at any moment. Something trendy will soon be passé, and will forever reveal your age and inability to plan ahead. The second factor is selecting a tattoo artist. How well they can spell, or render a piece of art, will be very important in the future, but some people shop by price. Something to display on your body should be worth investing in, because the tat will last much longer than the credit card bill. Luckily for our amusement, there is an unlimited supply of people who pay no attention to either of these factors. Bored Panda rounded up the best recent tattoos from the subreddit <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/shittytattoos/">Do you REALLY want that on your body forever?</a> to give us a laugh.

The tat above, submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/shittytattoos/comments/l83krl/somke_weed/">RockyPennis</a>, is the result of failure on the part of both the wearer and the tattoo artist, which may have been the same person. And both were high. The tattoo below, submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/shittytattoos/comments/k39u4z/yikes_showing_it_off_like_a_boss/" alt="elizabubblehead" class="on">elizabubblehead</a>, has so many things wrong you suspect it may have been intentional. It doesn't matter; the joke will be worn out and even obscure before the tattoo fades.

There are also many examples of nice requested images that were badly rendered into a comical tattoo, and a couple of guys who just surrendered their backs to be graffiti walls, in <a href="https://www.boredpanda.com/horribly-bad-tattoos/" alt="a gallery of 30 bad tattoos" class="on">a gallery of 30 bad tattoos</a> at Bored Panda.&nbsp; #tat #tattoo #fail
