Tattoos are permanent and cannot be removed; therefore, if you regret inking your girlfriend’s name or “sucks” onto your back, that ink will stay there forever. Additionally, any misspelled designs or those with incorrect spelling will remain.
Before getting your tattoo done, it is crucial to research both the artist and studio and ensure your shop complies with local business laws and zoning requirements.
Bad Artistry
Bad art can add an irreverence that stands out in tattoo designs, adding an element of quirkiness. From crooked lines and uneven shading to childish writing that appears handwritten – bad tattoo art has its charm that others might find appealing.
One Pittsburgh-based tattooer named Fernandes has found success offering clients intentionally bad-looking Tattoos — without giving any thought to those who consider their failure a flaw in her designs! Look at some adorable examples below from Fernandes; she’s turned what others think is a flaw into a profitable business venture (Image via @JanedoeThunderear).
Poor Planning
Just because a celebrity with money and connections has money doesn’t mean they won’t make bad decisions. A lot of stars have Tattoos that were poorly planned; Jennifer Lawrence stands out among them with one featuring a chemical formula for water on her hand that went wrong: the number 2 should have been written as subscript, like in chemistry; instead, the artist made an obvious spelling error when inking it: instead they inked “OH,” rather than subscript.
Planning carefully is essential for successful tattoo designs to last, designing each new tattoo at least 50% larger than before starting.
