37 Tattoos That Will Destroy Your Faith In Humanity







Some of these I couldn't post because they are serious NSFW but boys and girls remember that Tattoos are lifetime commitments unless you want to spend the money to erase the drunken memories of your youth.

I am not against tattoos either, even if I don't find it attractive.

I will check that out later.

I was nervous, sitting in the waiting area, when a young dude burst in the door and charged the front counter and confronted the one who did the tattoo (not "artist" back then).

He was totally pissed, showed the tattoo on his shoulder, which was the head of what looked to be a hyena or possum. He yelled, "It was supposed to be a JAGUAR!1"

I, and I'm sure others in the room, pondered whether to make an exit, quantifying the embarrassment vs the cowardice factors, but I figured my anchor-to-be was common enough that it couldn't be messed up that much, so I stayed.

I didn't complain, though. My buddies had gotten theirs the day before, but there wasn't time to do all of us so I volunteered to wait until the next day. And on the last day of the event, just before the tatoo shop packed up its tent, I got mine for half price.

I thought you may have the hippola virus.

I've been worried.


Interesting tattoos!

Some of those tattoos - oh my!

But I will say this - I see many amazing tattoos out there that are works of art and that really define a person whether it's full body art or even just a basic symbol.
