Top five worst tattoos

Published: Thursday, January 17, 2008

1.Barbed-wired bicep
 Unfortunately for would-be tough guys everywhere, the further we as a race move from admiring brute force, the fewer redeeming qualities this tattoo has.

2.Girlfriend/boyfriend’s name
This foolish act of blind love leads to horribly disproportional cover-up tattoos across the world. Don’t do it. 

3.Lower back, or “tramp stamp”
This tattoo is a time bomb. Fast-forward to middle age and you are that lady in the supermarket self consciously holding her shirt down with one hand as she reaches up with the other for some paper towels. What a mess.

4.Self Portraits
A note to anyone considering this: You already have an impeccable example of what you look like right on your body! It’s called your face! 

5.Sports Logos
If it’s your desire to show the world that you support your team with fervor, wear an official piece of apparel. If it’s your desire to be a branded, walking billboard providing free advertising for an organization in which you are not directly involved for the rest of your natural life, then this is the tattoo for you!
