Do not do it​

Nike 's slogan is one of the most famous and popular in the entire history of advertising and business. Almost everyone associates the shoe with the slogan that encourages people to go out and do something.

For the person above, that "something" was a (highly questionable) tattoo. Beyond the jagged lines and the fact that it takes up the entire back, this tattoo is questionable in terms of copyright. Is it a violation of copyright? In any case, we suggest that next time you wear one of his famous t-shirts.

For the Love of Shoes​

Crocs have been a miracle for those who hate the slipperiness of sandals and the constriction of standard shoes. Situated somewhere between the two, they offer breathability to your feet as well as a respectable look.

Some people show their admiration for Crocs by supporting the company. The person with the tattoo above decided to prove it by tattooing the famous shoe on his calf. It is a loyalty to the brand that we should admire, even if we do not like the tattoo itself.

Picture Does Not Match Words​

Anchors, for non-sailors, are big, heavy things that are thrown over the side of the ship. They are designed to sink to the bottom of the ocean, stick to it and give the boat some stability in rough waters. With this in mind, she looks at the next tattoo.

This might make you scratch your head a bit. Does the anchor refuse to sink? If so, doesn't an anchor miss the point? Why would you want an anchor that floats?

Beatlemania, Tattoo Style​

Beatlemania was a term used in the mid-1960s to describe the obsession and excitement that fans (mostly women) expressed when John, Paul, Ringo and George (also known as The Beatles) took to the stage to perform. some music. It reached its peak in the '60s, but, as you can see below, it didn't end then.

The ill-fated tattoo above is a more modern example of Beatlemania. Taken from the cover of his 1966 Revolver album, this tribute tattoo didn't pan out. At least it only occupies the entire back.

Haters Will Hate​

Haters, for those who don't know, are people who hate. Haters often seem destined to take all the joy out of your life and replace it with criticism and negativity. The desire to understand why they do it has led to the common expression "haters gonna hate".

Why do they hate? Well, because they are haters. It is not the most elaborate explanation, but there is some truth to it. For now, we'll put aside our criticism of the tattoo and just hope he sees a doctor soon because that red skin doesn't look very healthy.

Another Way to Wear a Thong​

Thongs are usually well-placed pieces of fabric or satin to secure the bottoms. However, the man in the photo below ditched the "made of cloth or satin" thing and opted for something more permanent. Something made of ink.

While it's hard to see why a man with a hairy back would do such a thing, we choose to assume he has an amazing sense of humor. What will his partner think of him when he sees it?

The Baby with the Sock Tongue​

As any new parent can tell you, babies like to eat everything in sight. Half the job of being a parent in the early days is making sure your newborn doesn't try to eat pencils, toys, or, in Down's case, socks.

Perhaps the tattoo above is meant to commemorate a fun childhood memory. Or perhaps the newborn literally has a sock for a tongue. If that's the case, it's best to go see a doctor (and have the tattoo removed as well).

Smiles and Frowns​

Smiley faces are a popular way to show that you've done a great job. Frowning faces are a popular way to show that you've done a terrible job. The guy with the tattoo below got a mix of both to show that he was doing a great and terrible job.

While we admire the sense of balance, we don't really admire anything else about it. Next time, we suggest leaving the smiles and frowns to the elementary school teachers grading the homework of rambunctious children.

Not the Portrait You Paid For​

If you want to be a photorealistic artist, you have to start somewhere. For most people that means scribbling pencil marks on a sketchpad and erasing a lot. For others, that means scrawling a tattoo on a guy's bicep and hoping for the best.

As you can see above, "hope for the best" didn't work too well. Instead of getting a loving portrait of his partner, this guy got a tattoo of a demon-possessed girl undergoing an exorcism.

Howling at the Moon, More or Less​

Wolves are majestic (and terrifying) creatures that have been a source of artistic inspiration for hundreds of years. Most of the time they are depicted alone on a snowy cliff howling at the full moon. However, the tattooed wolf that appears next appears to be throwing up at her.

Not exactly the romantic image this person was looking for. Instead of a strong and powerful animal ready to face the cold world, this one seems to have indigestion from eating too many cookies.
