20 People Whose Tattoos NEED A Backstory
Our parent’s often warned us against getting tattoos when we were younger, mainly worrying about us regretting our decisions or getting a job. Thankfully, times have changed and there isn’t such a stigma against tattoos anymore. However, these people should have probably thought twice about getting their chosen tattoos, unless there is a REALLY good backstory.
To avoid having an ugly piece of artwork on your body, you need to put a lot of time and thought into the design and placement of the tattoo. However, these people clearly were a little spontaneous with their decisions…
It’s great when a tattoo has a story or meaning attached to it, making it much more personal to that person. So, these tattoos might look terrible but at least a cool backstory that takes away the edge of that wincingly-bad ink! If they don’t have a backstory, we can just make one up to make it seem better…
1.) What is THAT?!

This looks like some kind of horrific combination of both a lion and a tiger, it’s scary! Is this seriously the tattoo design this guy wanted? It’s so big as well, I feel so bad that he can’t even hide it that easily.
Honestly, there doesn’t seem to be a backstory that can excuse this disgrace of a tattoo, maybe the tattoo artist hates him or is just really, REALLY bad at his job. If tigers really looked like this, I would be scarred for life every time I saw one! This guy should go elsewhere for his next tattoo…or just never get another EVER again.
2.) My body is a journal…
If your body is a journal, I wonder what this guy’s story is? Does he eat cheeseburgers for every meal? Did a cheeseburger save his life? Who knows, I don’t think anyone can understand what this guy was thinking when he got that tattoo.
Not only does his tattoo say cheeseburger but it also just looks so AWFUL! Everyone loves cheeseburgers but if you love cheeseburgers this much, then you might have a problem…
3.) Someone loves Charlie Brown

Charlie Brown is the only person that can pull off this style. He either really loves the cartoon or has some kind of complex surrounding socks.
It can be a lot of effort putting socks on in the morning so I can understand that this tattoo might be some kind of time-saving tactic. No more balancing to put them on, accidentally getting them wet when stepping in a puddle or finding ones that match.
Actually, maybe this IS a good idea…
4.) A slam-dunk of a tattoo?

Okay, I get that it might have been funny for about 5 minutes and I get embracing your natural blemishes but seriously? It was funny for a bit but now he is stuck with this for the REST OF HIS LIFE. Imagine going to jobs and meeting people, he must make quite the first impression.
Honestly, the back story to this is just plain stupidity. That’s very clear to see!
5.) Nightmares are real
This is probably the most horrifying thing I have EVER seen, even this woman looks like she regrets it. The only plus side to this is that she can easily freak people out just by sitting next to them, she is literally looking in all directions.
Literally, no one will ever take this woman seriously again, she has definitely ruined her career forever. Even a good backstory to this doesn’t make up for how awful it is!
6.) Sure…
If you’re going for the classy look, maybe don’t get a lower back tattoo, it’s probably the least classy placement you could choose! This just looks ugly and I have no clue why she thought this was a good idea. Maybe she is being ironic and that’s the backstory, that she isn’t classy at all plot twist!
7.) Always watching
What could the backstory to this horrific creation be? Maybe he wants to pretend he’s awake when he’s asleep, scare everyone he knows or never have a partner? Either way, he is definitely achieving all of those things!
I understand that it’s funny to freak people out but WHY did he think that this was a good, long term idea? Imagine waking up this in the middle of the night, those tattooed creepy eyes staring at you…it’s the stuff of nightmares.
8.) Wrongfully convicted…
Runt of the web
This guy is pretty adamant that he has been wrongfully convicted for whatever crime he is in jail for. However, he must have got that tattoo before the arrest so surely he is guilty if he ever thought that he would need a tattoo like that to defend himself?
Criminals aren’t often wrongfully convicted but it can happen and it’s truly tragic when it does. However, getting a tattoo like that doesn’t make him very believable…
9.) A never-ending to do list
List25
This guy either got fired at work because of poor organisation or his wife threatened to leave him if he didn’t get his life together. Either way, this is definitely NOT a tattoo he got for a laugh or thought was cool. It was desperate measures and this is what he ended up with.
10.) Door to another (creepy) world
This is quite possibly the weirdest tattoo I have EVER seen. I like the idea behind it like it looks realistic but if it was half the size and minus the creepy man, it wouldn’t actually be so awful.
I don’t understand why a younger guy would get a tattoo of a creepy old man coming out of a door in his chest. It might be a relative perhaps? But it’s still insanely creepy.
11.) It’s best to laugh
Buzzfeed
I think this one is great personally! This guy is so awesome to maintain a dark sense of humour after having such a life-changing terrible accident. I have no idea what the backstory is or how he lost his leg but it’s extremely tragic so I can appreciate a tattoo like this!
12.) I wonder what she smells like…
I guess this woman must have pretty smelly armpits and is just embracing her natural odour, telling the world what she smells like with this awful tattoo. Why does she look so pleased with herself? She looks like a woman who thinks she has made good decisions in life, I beg to differ.
13.) Mr Cool Ice
If you asked me to show you a picture of someone trying too hard to be cool, this is exactly what I would show you. Who is this guy? Why is his name Mr Cool Ice? Why are his tattoos so terrible? So many questions!
All I know is, whoever started this Mr Cool Ice nickname is solely responsible for this tattoo abomination and they should be held accountable. It doesn’t even make any sense!
14.) A very special McDonalds order
Yes, this is a pretty inventive and different tattoo. However, who has a McDonald’s meal so memorable and awesome that they felt the need to tattoo it onto their arm?! I’ve never seen so many extra toppings added to a cheese burger so maybe that was impressive enough for this person to decide on this tattoo.
I wonder what incredible moment prompted such a boldly stupid tattoo, I hope that it was worth it!
15.) That poor baby
Just look at the way this baby is staring at their mom. You can see the horror and crushing disappointment on their face, ‘oh man, why did SHE have to be my mom?!’ Is this woman okay and why does she look so normal other than that MONSTROSITY on her face?!
What even is the tattoo supposed to be? An eyepatch? Is she a pirate? I just have no idea why she got this and why it is just so badly done. This is the most baffling one yet…
16.) Checkerboard face
This guy clearly loves Checkers so much that he wants people to be able to play it on HIS FACE! I just have no idea why he did this. He will never be able to get a job anywhere, not even a tattoo parlour because it’s such a bad tattoo, customers will be completely put off trusting him!
17.) This HAS to be a joke…
Surely this cannot be real…just, WHY?! Did she get a tattoo of her OWN selfie? Or, was it her boyfriend that got it? Either way, why would you choose a duck face selfie to get tattooed on you? I NEED the backstory to this one.
18.) This is the worst thing I’ve EVER seen
I have no words for this one. It doesn’t even make a proper heart! You can see the regret in their eyes, smiling through the pain. Why couldn’t they both just get a small matching heart or something? This is just pure agony to look at.
19.) She’s definitely loyal to that tattoo…
I need to know why she thought it was a good idea to get this tattoo on her FACE. Was she like to her boyfriend, “I’m so loyal that I’ll get an ugly face tattoo then NO ONE will want me.” I mean, it would do the trick.
20.) I’ve officially lost hope in humanity
Why would you ever get that tattooed on you? It just makes no sense. I think some people just ENJOY ruining their life with terrible tattoos.
So, if you’re thinking of getting a tattoo, think long and hard about it and maybe have a good backstory! Which was the most shocking to you? Let us know in the comments!
