May 15 2007Terrible tattoo

I wonder why someone would get Ugly Betty tattooed to his arm? Must be a fan or something.

I'll Swallow Your Soul! I'll Swallow Your Soul!!!

thats awesome!

no wonder the guy isn't looking at the camera as the pictures getting taken =P

This is one of the reasons why I have still not gotten a tattoo. But, mainly, it's because I might not always be the person who I was when I got the tattoo. If I do get one, it'll be something like having my child's or children's initials on my back, because no matter what, I will always be their father.

Well, clearly the girl is deceased. So, appropriately, the tattoo looks like her corpse. I don't see what the problem is.

The picture should have been drawn to a paper version first, with alot of the shading left out. Also, the girl should have been prettier.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha oh shit. this is terrible. this is the worst tattoo i've ever seen. ha ha ha ha ha i'd just cut my f***ing arm off!!

Yeah, that artist really needs to work on his calligraphy.

What?

Maybe the tattoo is of the bride's father.

wow thats messed up

golf clap 1-Ton, you won this thread.

Quite clear to me this one. If that's the best picture he had to give to the tatooist is it no wonder he tried to use some artistic licence? Come on, take a photo of her wrapped around an anchor or splayed out naked on a dragon... that's bread and butter stuff for these guys. Take your arm back to the tatoo parlour and let him finish his masterpiece... Flames coming out the eyes or horns twisting round the ears... he's good at THAT!!

i feel bad for the next person to wake up next to this arm.

It's a cross between Telly Savalas(nose) and Steve Buchemi (teeth).

Holyshit, that made me sick. Wow, man, that's why you DON'T get realistic tatoos of people done. The only thing realistic that they can do are breasts, and they don't even make them all that realistic.

Anyway, yeah, NO, that artist sucks. He needs to learn to NOT outline lips and put old lady shading on a young, but clearly dead woman.

@1-ton: I lol'd.

This is the exact reason why you don't go to any random joe shmoe artist. Do your god damn research or else you get a gremlin tattooed on your arm... I will never go to anyone outside of the studio my artist owns...

Dunno for you guys, but it is clear to me he pictured what the lady's like after a month under the earth... yek!!

She looks like one of the Gentlemen from Buffy. Eeek.

ree ree ree ree!

The tattooist needs to be held down and have the word "TWAT" tattooed on his forehead. Seriously, that's awful. What's with those teeth FFS?

That's got to be one of the worst tattoo's I've seen. Portrait work is such an odd thing to have done...especially when the artist is obviously no good. I bet the only time he shows it off is when he's drunk at a party!

He needs a cheese grater.

1-ton...that is the greatest comment ever.

It looks like Freddy Krueger!!

My girlfriend actually works at this tattoo parlor as a piercer (i wont say the name) and the guy who did this is the general manager. this is a TERRIBLE looking tattoo though, and it's funny because i was thinking about having this guy do my half sleeve. now i'm going to have to look somewhere else.

i just find it funny that this is being passed around the net, the dudes a choch anyway.

Absolutle cracker

give the tatoo artist and M.B.E :-d

@17 - Lol gremlin!

what an unbelievably shitty tatto.

the teeeth! the teeeeeth!

ok... first of all... we have a lazy eye. well, she has a lazy eye... and it appears to be a phallic object in her mouth, or a tumor on her cheek... and what the hell is that stray line on the right side or her chest? and in some cases... there are just situations where you dont put every detail in the tattoo... and then there are people that you just dont get a tattoo of. i dont know whos more of a tard... the artist, or the victim... lol... GG.

they do $10 piercings haugh ha hahahahaha

oi f***witts iis a memorial tattoo who cares wat it looks like its for someone he loved who passed have some f***ing respect

That is sad as hell. I wonder if a DECENT artist could fix it somehow. Even the tiara looks like he turned it into little bones.

I wonder if that guy got a tip.

Sadly... This was done at a local shop, that charges ridiculous prices for tattoos...and the work isn't that great. So avoid on the edge tattoo in bowling green, Ohio... I feel bad for the guy getting a memorial piece of his wife, and then it turning out like an old hag with some sort of deformation.

Honestly...if you're going to get a portrait... make sure they are CAPABLE of drawing a portrait to say the least...not just tracing a picture.

Wow... who says tattoo artists don't have a sense of humor? Right? This is a joke... right? I'm so glad my tat artist rocks because this guy's watched one too many Night of the Living Dead movies.

The sad thing is that the guy HAD to have seen what the tattoo was going to look like before he actually got it done. Transfer paper does serve a purpose. Unless he just trusted someone enough to freehand a portrait on him. Moron. He deserved it for being that stupid either way.

I have to admit, I have come across some pretty wretched portraits in my day, and this is not the worst by any stretch of the imagination. I would NEVER get a portrait tattoo...EVER! I would get something to represent them. but even the BEST portrait artists have difficulties sometimes...Kat Von D is among the best I've ever seen and even she has a few bad ones that look nothing like what its supposed to....
My husband does tattoos and refuses every portrait that comes to him. As every tattoo artist should.

omg.. that tattoo is fukin horrible.. who ever did it sucks!!!!!!!!!!!

this dude is still at it.... can we get a link to his myspace please so maybe everyone in the world can pick on this guy and he might either stop selling his soul and integrity and ruining peoples skin and memories just for a fist full of dollars......check it out http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=212520311&albumID=1104612&imageID=28300702 this goeas beyond worst tattoo ever its worst tattooist (and i use that term loosely) and worst person. you should meet this guy

i quit, i cant compete http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=212520311&albumID=1104612&imageID=28667027

I feel sorry for him. It's in memoriam.
Most of you asre dickheads for what you've said though.
You'll die lonely.

tattoo by mark hancock at bootleg tattoo in zanesville ohio i think

its funny... i found this picture off google when i searched for "where the wild things are"....

this can be fixed...fortunately

To be honest, i think your all heartless in breaking this guys heart about his decised wife! Your all pathetic

That tattoo is just wretched..

Rule 101 of portraits - you NEVER outline lips and you NEVER outline teeth. EVER. Not to mention the typhography is a joke and his linework is thin and weak. Was he drunk?

The links to his other portraits too (not to mention is other works) are just diabolical. This guy has no training or even basic skills in the formal elements of art. What sickens me more is that he still gets work and receives awards.
What kind of message does this send out? That yes kids, you too should be rewarded for laziness and a lack of honest hard work and dedication.

F*ck you, man.
F*ck you.

Wow some of you need to respect the dead. The tattoo is horrible but the girl is pretty. Apparently all some of you have to do is make fun of people because your either ugly with no life or your just so immature you think this is the thing to do. Grow the hell up.

WHY ARE YOU ALL BEING SO HARSH? IF YOU ACTUALLY SAW THE TATTOO PROPERLY YOU WOULD SEE THAT IT SAID "IN LOVING MEMORY" THEN YOU WOULDN'T BE WRITING COMMENTS LIKE THESE;;

Maybe he got it done at the new Drive-Thru, also is it wrong to get a pic of a vagina tattooed on your palm?

chicklets teeth lmfao!!! whoever did this is probly not a professional...but tattooing is a hell of a lot harder than it looks. but i have to agree, i'd probly chop my arm off and feed it to the homeless lmao

oh shit... i´m sorry man...who does something like that. i hope you can live with that think on your arm, sorry i feel with you...i wish you the best my friend... kisses

Tbh Yehh It Is A Shit Tattoo, But You Need To Show Some Respect For The Family, I Came Across This Site Coinsidently, What Makes You Think Her Family Won't. She Is A Young Girl And She Died. Show Some Respect To Her And Her Family, Or I Hope You All Lose Someone Close To You So You Can Feel Her Poor Husbands Pain.
It Can Be Covered Up If He Wants It, But Just The Fact It's There Is A Symbol Of Love.
Heartless MotherFuckers

and thats why i don't do black n grey portraits!!

thats fu cked up son! is the tatoo her grand ma? the tooth is fu cked and the shade in her face as well

This is BAD! This is not a memory, this is the gohst on the arm.
I hope that the tattoo artist dos not work anymore! He or she must be ashamed over this ugly product.

Why can't the people writing "respect the dead" shit type properly? Plus, If you don't know who someone was in life, you don't have to be kind to them over the internet after death...you naive pieces of crap.

this has nothing to do with respect to the dead...no one has said one bad thing about the poor dead girl, this is all about the fckd up tattoo "artist" who deserves his hands chopped off....that "portrait" is a crime against tattoo art or any art period...damn, how someone so USELESS can even be allowed to touch a tattoo gun....does anyone know the tatt shop that was done at?

man,all yawll gonna go smooth to Hell,fuck how the tattoo looks,its the significance,this person got a tattoo in memory of someone who obviously ment alot,soo bite on that!
-Yung.

So pretty much anytime I google anything being tattoo related I come across this picture. I feel really bad for this family. Unfortunately this is what happens when uneducated people get a hold of a tattoo machine..... Buyer beware.... check out your artist's portfolio! Check out the shop's reputation..... Do your homework. I originally went on this site cause there was a comment about someones husband being a tattoo artist and turning away portrait work. Stoked he knows his limitations but don't say "as all tattoo artists should". I've been a tattoo artist for 7 years and have seen and done some really excellent portrait art through the shop Im at and on the road.. If the tattooer is WILLING to learn how to correctly do black and grey portraits then they shouldn't be any harder then any other tattoo. God willing that the tattooer has talent that is. Also the comment about Kat Von D..... seriously chica do some h/w before u comment. the people she learned from are the people you should be talking about as "among the best you've ever seen". She's good, but sounds like your basis for a good tattoo is based from a TV and your boyfriend.

Dude is a joke. I worked there for about 5 minutes until I realized in my first year of tattooing I would grossly surpass him. The shop is On the Edge in Bowling Green, Ohio and the artist Dennis still works there f-in people up and all the skank college whores, sweet dude bros and backwoods inbreeders suck his dick HARD. Ugh why does this still happen?

ahahhaha, it looks like a gorilla

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

WOW,ITS TIME FOR A COVER UP!

i think its hilarious that i googled god of war tattoes and this came up,,,,even though it kinda looks like kratos, its not what i was looking for lol

wow, i do tattoos for a living and this is just wrong, seriously.... if u cant draw, u shouldnt do tattoos, how could u make a pretty girl look so ugly

I wanted to cry when I see this pic Now no one knows if this was suppose to be aged or what the case was .. But knowing this beautiful young lady passed away and then to captivate her face as a 60 year old women is heart wrenching.. I would be so pissed if this was me.. or if it was my loved one that was tattooed like that ...

This just pissed me off. You f**king morons... this is an example of a horrible tattoo artist. Don't slam tattoos in general. I'm going to murder you ppl.

This guy got a tattoo of someone that ment something to him and you guys are all being ass holes. He must of loved her and she died, but of coarse no one cares about others feelings...Heartless bastards

OMG :/ .....as an artist and pro in the INK scene i can't believe this happen to this poor guy ....shame on the Artist who failed his client...by far the worst yet....smh

So, I checked Lame's comment (#61) about the "On the Edge" studio in Bowling Green, Ohio, where he says the artist works and came upon the guy's myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/ontheedgetattoo

If you go through his (I laughingly use the term) "portfolio" you can see he clearly specializes in tatts of zombie girls. And although the "In Loving Memory" tatt isn't shown, this almost equally terrifying one is: http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=135302522&albumID=1228290&imageID=32155146

How about this for Bible relevance: "Lev 19:28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord." Call me old fashion, but sounds like good advice to me.

Damn.. that's the most ugly tattoo i have ever seen.. It's so bad..
and that's on that body for the rest of your life! Good luck!

I'll recommend that artist to my worst enemies.

This is seriously one of the worst tattoos I have ever seen - and I live near a large city with countless sh***y shops. What's even worse is that this was a memorial piece which means the artist should have made an extra effort to assure it was done right. As punishment, this f**k should tattoo his own arm.

In regards to the comments on portrait tats - you people are morons. Check out Tyrrell's work for example. No one I know would even think twice about getting a portrait done by him. However, if you aren't capable of doing a particular type of piece, then don't do it.

thats fucked up shit.
you people need to fuck off.
you are disrespecting the departed.
that is somebody they cared deeply for.
nuff said.

In loving memony? And is it me or she have facial hair?

Honestly, when i first saw it i laughed cuz i thought this guy did that on purpose. like "in loving memory of my marriage" with a f'd up pic inspired by a nasty divorce to get back at her.... but seriously f-tard, u didnt look at the 1st suspect turn and run out of the tattoo shop? who doesnt look at their own tat being done besides jack hanna??

What the heck?!!!

Yall are all a bunch of assholes. That is his dead wife, yeah the tattoo sucks but she is pretty and has also passed away. You all need to find a heart or burn in hell one.

Why do people keep saying respect the dead? Yeah, it's sad this person passed away. From the picture, she looks very pretty, but the tattoo is AWFUL. I'd be disrespecting the dead if I said that that tattoo was anywhere close to what she really looks like.

I'm a local Tattoo atrist in Zaneville, I've been tattooing for over 20yrs, and yes I owned my own tattoo shop not far from where this guy had this tattoo done. This tattoo is not good and in the past i've fixed his work before, Thats right he's done this before . I had one person come in the shop crying for me to fix her tattoo. Mark was at one time a good tattoo artist!! I just think he cant see to well any more, And I hope he don't do any more work like this. It really puts a bad tast in your mouth when this happens and I hope this guy dose find a good tattoo artist to fix this,It's a shame for him to be talked about like this when he put he fath is someone eles, So remark on the artist and not the client, It's not his fault. If you live in Zanesville then you know who wrote this!!!

@ MWA; that verse in Leviticus was meant for ancient tribes; eg., the Amorites, sythicans, and even Romans, who would practice type of self mutilation or was a law to physically injure themselves as a type of sacrifice for when someone passed. The second part of that was written because many ancient tribes, I believe even the egyptians, would tattoo markings on their body, especially the forehead and hand as symbols to please their idols, hence where he says at the end of the verse, "I" am the Lord! I don't think it's a sin to have a deceased loved one's name or portrait tattooed on yourself or anything else for that matter as long as it's not for a false idol that person is worshiping. With that said, I also do not believe it's "old fashioned" for anyone to speak about the word of God and It always makes me smile to see someone speak out about our Lord and Savior! (That seems to be very rare these days). I myself have two tattoos, one on each inner forearm, of the names of my two precious babies who mean everything to me! I just hope and pray I'm right on the many translations I have read on that specific verse in Leviticus, and my sweet babies names being tattooed on my arms don't keep me from entering the pearly gates when I pass on.

As far as this poor guy's unfortunate tattoo he received to memorialize someone he truly loves, well I just hope a true tattoo "artiste" can help this guy out. If I could, I would do it for free.

Sorry for the lengthy comment and I apologize if I may have offended anyone in any way

ok guys just because its a bad tattoo doesnt mean talk bad about it i get it it looks bad but i would like to see you guys hold a tattoo gun and tattoo on someone its hard trust me i know my dad is a tattoo artist all i can say to the guy that got it done is you should think about something you want to cover it up and next time you go to a tattoo shop look at their work first before you have them tattoo on you :) but good luck on getting it fixed to the guy the guy that got it done:)

i love u all

hahahahaha thats straight up from the exorcist!
