51 Unfortunate Souls Who Really Really Regret Their Tattoos ...

Tattoos aren't technically forever, but ink is definitely a commitment. You're free to get any tattoo you want, but as dissenters always say, you're stuck with it. It's one thing to get a tattoo you dislike, though, and something else entirely to get something that looks just awful. Also, please remember: friends don't let friends get tattoos without spell-checking.

Is … is This a Joke? Source: lolwot.com

I agree with OP. It's either a joke or this person lost a bet like nobody's business. This cannot be for real. “He touched so many.”

Tattoos of faces are always kind of scary, though, especially if there are teeth involved – although these are admittedly pretty well done. It's his manic look, really. Like he's about to start spaying and neutering any minute.

No slut shaming, no sex shaming, no butt shaming, no shaming whatsoever. I still think this person might someday possibly express a teensy bit of regret for this ink.

Brenda needs our help. I am serious. Unless he wronged Brenda and this tattoo is the result. In that case, I would like to buy Brenda a drink. Basically, I just need to hear from Brenda.
