‘Ugliest Tattoos: A Gallery of Regrets’ is easily the best tattoo blog in existence. Rather than merely curate the best permanent ink out there like so many other sites do, Ugliest Tattoos focuses on the best of the worst.
For example, there’s the hairy trollttoo that kicks off the gallery above. And the full-body female tiger stripes that follow it. And the ‘Twilight’ tattoo that’s next in line. You get the idea. Check out more hilariously bad tattoos from Ugliest Tattoos above.
