SOURCE SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: I’m friends with this girl on facebook. She’s underage to get a tattoo, and this one is done by a scratcher (even worse) WHAT’S AWFUL: This is supposed to be the Coexist logo (it’s a sort of charity) And the lines are…..well…awful. I don’t even think she knows what the tattoo even stands for (I’m just assuming) This was done by “a friend that has his own shop.” Buying a tattoo kit from Ebay doesn’t make you a professional and definitely does not give you the right to tattoo minors.

Why it’s awful: JUST LOOK AT IT :( The mermaids lips look like they have blood on them (this is also a picture of it after 2 days), the water surrounding the mermaid looks like it’s supposed to be part of the mermaid, the hair looks terrible and isn’t fully shaded, the arm looks like it has two fingers, I could go on and on. How to fix it: Cover up?

SOURCE SUBMITTER’S COMMENT: This is a friend of mine on Facebook. She’s underage where I live, and you can tell that this is not done by a professional. WHAT’S AWFUL: The poorly done tattoo speaks for itself. The shading is lacking and The lines aren’t too great either. I’m guessing a scratching in the family did this? HOW IT CAN BE FIXED: A cover-up might be possible with this piece. If she ends up regretting it later on in life, she might want to consider getting it removed by a lazer.

Just a video I found while perusing through Youtube…

What’s Awful? Well for one this is clearly being performed in someones house. With kids running around in the background. Odds are none of this equipment has been properly sterilized nor has the room or the thing the girl is laying on. This man is literally holding this poor girl down so she can get the “tattoo shes always wanted”

Why its Awful? Unsterilized equipment is a breeding ground of disease. Getting a home job invites someone to all the airborne germs in the room. Plus chances are its going to turn out as a b.s tattoo. Also she’s more than capable of legally getting a tattoo due to her age but doesn’t… Unbelievable.

How it can be fixed? Get yourself checked out for any diseases… and then hopefully when you’re able to make the right decision get yourself a coverup for that probably wonky tat..

Just one of the gems from this guy. He is a scratcher working from his house in Sydney, Australia. The comments on the photos are proof enough that people truly don’t know what they’re looking at. Education on tattoo safety/guidelines is severely needed all over the world. This man needs to put down his tattoo machine & step away from destroying peoples bodies permanently with his art.

Submitter’s Comment: I saw this on a friends Facebook page, and thought how awful this really is. What’s Awful: What isn’t awful about this? He’s getting tattooed not at a shop. He’s doing it for the worst reason possible, YOLO. Not to mention both the artist and him are probably drunk at this point. On top of all of that, the letters seem to be not in a line and are floating all over the place.

Tumblr won’t let me submit a video, sorry

She’s making plugs out of EMPTY BOTTLES, and PACKING TAPE, putting bondage tape on the outside to make them look bought.

What’s Awful
…Did you read the summary?
Oh and she has comments disabled. I guess other people realize just how bad this is. I can’t imagine the adhesives in packing tape are any good for you, or the chemicals of whatever was in BOTTLE before it was used for a plug.

How Can It Be Fixed
STOP telling people to make plugs like this.
She ends with commentary about being poor and ‘creative’. Erm. This isn’t creativity it’s idiocy.

You can see the fingerprints on the plugs, and you can also see how wonky and uneven the shape is. HOW IT CAN BE FIXED: Stop selling them! Or, make a front piece out of polymer clay and stick them onto steel plugs.

source SUBMITTERS COMMENT: Spotted this while going through a friend’s facebook newsfeed and was shocked at the terrible quality, what’s even more shocking is that the artist/studio gets a lot of business somehow. WHAT’S AWFUL: Thin and wobbly lines, clumsy, patchy shading, even worse than the standard of tattoo skill itself is the quality of the design. Just look at that hand!! This person has no clue about proportions or drawing figures. Clearly this girl shouldn’t be a tattoo “artist” if she can’t draw to begin with! Yikes.
