The design he was looking for was that of an owl done in the popular tribal style that is seen most commonly in tattoos nowadays, I told him to come back in at least an hour, I sat on the chair that had on my stand and got to sketch furiously into the drawing pad, this was particularly interesting since I had not made tattoo designs before, so I pondered for a while how should the design "flow" and how should it be structured and this is the design I made for him:
Look into my EEEEEEYESSS!!!
I'm glad to say that he was really happy with the design, but the first thing I told him before he left with it was to please take especial attention as to which tattoo parlor was he going to take the design to. And this is the part to which my blog title makes reference to: There are some people that have absolutely no business near a tattooer's needle injecting ink into a person's skin. You see, I don't mind when people are learning to draw, I myself subjected hundreds of pages of paper years ago to the attrocities I called drawings when I was just an aspiring art student, it is just part of the learning process. It hasn't been until very recently when I have felt that my skill has reached a level of proficiency that could be considered acceptable in professional, work oriented goals. So for me to see people that have absolutely no scruples to literally do their experimenting by scarring people as if these were sketch pads, well, that really takes a very special kind of arrogant lowlife scum to do stuff like the following tattoos to some people. But then again, it also takes a very rare kind idiot to allow him/herself to let these abominations to be grafted on their bodies without complain. This is not something you can simply correct with an eraser! Injecting Tipp-Ex is not an option either!!!
The following images represent some reasons why tattoos must be done by professional artist and the person getting a tattoo should have IQs above 90.

Sometimes Spell Check just doesn't cut it.
Let's start with one that really doesn't mess up because of an incompetence in artistry, but because of a incompetence in literacy. This really hits me as rather ironic. English is a second language to me, yet because of that reason, I try to ensure that my use of said language is proper, just for accuracy sake, and because I love the English language. So to see this (which was probably written by a native English speaker) really saddens me.

This would be cute if it had been done by a 5th grader and were attached to a fridge with a magnet, but here it is only proves what happens when grown ups have a 5th grader brains.
Bonus to 9: Can somebody show me a competent looking tattoo of Wolverine?:
Just like putting a cherry on top of an ice cream. And by cherry I really mean razor blade. Please do notice the hairy man shoulders which makes it so much worse.

Not even Piccolo deserved this beating.This kinda proves that even to do a simple trace you need some artistic level, something that the lowlife tattooer who did this even lacked.

Double Tragedy
I don't know which is sadder: The passing away of a young person or the person that commissioned this didn't check that the tattoer knows how a smiling human face looks like.

Guess which twin got ran over by a Train carrying Semi trucks?
People reach a whole new level of sad when they decide that they want a tattoo that is a copy of another tattoo, there so much wrong with the poor imitation that I don't know where to begin. The tattooer, aparently, was also colors blind.

Now I know why Bald Eagles are an endangered species.
A tattoo that has a tattoo, now that is Meta! I don't know if it was the failed attempt at putting the whole frigging 50 stars on that tiny piece of real state or the fact that the flag is flying backwards, either way that is one pissed off eagle. What could be worse than plastering an animal with a flag? ...

We live on a planet where this image was given to a tattooer...
...and this is what the client got. Further evidence that WYSIWYG protocols only work with computer interfaces.

Just like a "Why so sad?" joke, just far scarier since this predates it.
When did exactly in the mind of the tattoer the concept of a roaring puma became "Joker's pet experiment only sadder and more messed up" Every time I see this thing something inside of me dies.
FOREWARNING: This following tattoo is hereby declared by me as the worst tattoo ever conceived and executed by man. It is a perfect storm compriced of idiocy, douchebaggery, bad taste and absolute lack of human decency. I hope the persons involved in its creation got pounded into a pulp the moment they showed their faces in public. You have been warned.
