Green Goblin

Well, I hope it's a green goblin and not someones mother-in-law or something ..

Mermaid

I guess it was supposed to be sexy, instead it's just ugly (+ the wonderful stars that look as if the tattooer was trying out color samples)

I Wouldn't Snap Those Suspenders Back If I Were You, Hun.

Thank you, Hannah Aitchison

2-4-1

More great Kim Reed work, although i have no clue what the skulls are doing there.

Who did this?

Unknown artist, but wow!

Granny ?

Seriously, WTF is that ?

Crooked Santa

The title says it all

Drago-Tiger Ying-Yang

when a seamingly "kewl" idea turns out badly

Knowing who to trust is even harder online

Another Amerindian

Another victim of this horrible fad.

Brandon Lee (The Crow)

The horrifying factor here, comes from the picture selection. There are hundreds of cool pics of The Crow, but this guy chose the happy-smiling clown like one, with Brandon shiting or watching TV ...

Elfin Elvgren!

I love this Gil Elvgren pin-up interpretation by Eddie Loven. Also, NSFW!

Ahoy There!

Nice work from Kim Reed.

Femalish Creature

Rule nr 1. before you get a tat (either in prison, tattoo parlour, or from a weird exhibitonist who steals your cutlery while you sleep) , make sure that he or she can draw better than a preschooler.

Fill 'Er Up!

Great cartoony girl from Jeff Gogue

Fan(tasy)tastic

A less traditional Joe Capobianco piece

All The Page

Portrait-master Nikko Hurtado's scarily realistic Bettie Page

Pho' Sho'

Nice grey'n'grey Robert Pho ink.

Classic Capobianco

A classic example from a pin-up master, Jo Capobianco, and the subject of the temporary site header (temporary until i can be arsed making something better).

Autoportrait

It isn't the worst tat in this collection but the fact that someone tattoos himself his/hers face among some waves and balls is just horrible (or is it Mr. Spock ? That's my second hypothesis ).

Steaming Hot!

Last one for day one: More Jeff Gogue awesomeness, just because.

New Hotness: Robot Mermaids

With, um, rockets. Tattoo by L.A.Ink's Hannah Aitchison, who is way too good for that ego-wank soap opera.

Maid to Measure

I'm a big fan of Jeremy Fierto's French maid. Ooh la la, as they say in Wales

Whoah, Nudity!

Yup, Bettie Page boobs. This pic blog will be like that. NSFW.

Don't say I didn't warn you, even though I didn't.

Another Jeff Gogue masterwork.

Pin-Up #1

And the dubious honour of being number one goes to Jeff Gogue, for this stunning ink. His newly redesigned website is here.

"Why ?" Heart

Probably it was supposed to be a deep philosophical tattoo, which cannot be understood sober. Instead we have a shitty one.

Tribal + Bulldog + Dragon

The cliché stew

Rude Girl

Yep, the tampon theme is alive and kicking, accompanied by a gorgeous "rude girl" skull.

P.S. Since when do skulls have lips and eye lashes ? And do I see a band-aid there ?

Valentine's Day Bonus

Horribly true.

Portrait

It is hard to depict depths in the face structure, but this tat is so wrong that you need a good dose of investigation to make out the age, let alone the sex.

The Tampon Is Back ...

... and it's uglier than before.

Native American

... chewing something.

Taz Tattoo Collection

First of all, you have to be drunk to get a Taz tattoo, but you have to be blind drunk to get it screwed.

sources for this post are totally random so I will list it here, here, here , here and here

Wolverine

Or rather a wolverine-like blob, c'mon. How can you screw an X-man tat ? really ...

Good Tat, Bad Tat

"Are you sure that my tattoo will look exactly like this one ?" - "Sure, sure relax..."

Burned Lions

I know that those are supposed to depict lions but Blake's poem fits perfectly here.

Tiger, Tiger, burning bright
In the forest of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
