CATBEAR?!

aaaaarrrrghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
It's a cat! With shark teeth! Or maybe it's a bear?

It's a dog going through a divorce

This is another tattoo in my favorite category ever: friends convincing other friends to get ridiculous nonsensical tattoos. Hilarious and awesome. And awful.

This was the first tattoo for this poor/rad soul. Description from the friend whose idea and drawing it was is below.





"i dont really remember what led up to the idea of swift getting a 20 second drawing i did of 'a dog going through a divorce' as a tattoo, but it was certainly assisted by it being 3am and a fair amount of alcohol on his part.. he woke up that next day and said "you know what? fuck it. lets do it." so less than an hour later i was paying someone $60 to permanently put it on swifts arm. dudes got sad depressed moppy divorced hair, hes unshaven and mopey, and hes got a little suitcase and dufflebag. he just needs to crash on your couch for a week or two. you know what happens when you call a tattoo shop and tell them you "want to get a cartoon dog getting a divorce", they dont believe youre serious. like 3 places didnt believe us."

Cats with no ears

I just took in two of the cutest cats ever, and so I have had cats on the brain lately. Because of this, I thought I'd do some searching for bad cat tattoos. I am SURE there are worse ones out here, but this is what I found- three cat tattoos without any ears. Why would you ever draw a cat without ears? It just makes them look like weird aliens!


This looks like a Lisa Frank drawing without the pizazz.


This is the most half-assed tattoo I have possibly ever seen. Why are the eyes sideways? Why are the whiskers blue? Where are the ears? So many unanswered questions!


This is a mix of the lady's five cats and some human (the right eye). Why the human has a lazy eye, I don't know. I also think the cat is actually the bark of a tree.


And finally, while not technically terrible, this butterfly-cat holding a flower and inexplicably wearing pants makes me laugh.

your early morning crap: lion!

Roar... this sucks!



If you have an awful tattoo, feel free to contact alice@vivalavinyl.org and she'll try to get to it.

Bear

SPARTAAAAAAAAA ! (Or any other generic shout)

Drunken Worms

You know that you had a good Mexico time, when you wake up and happen to notice something that ugly on your back.

Gorilla-Rooster

I hope there is a story (probably even mildly interesting) behind this tat.

Kitty Cat Wrist

When the picture of your kitty is not enough.

Skunk-ina-Rip

This tat stinks ! (Now I'm the one using bad puns)

Three Drunk Frogs

His only friends.

Tribal Lion

Failed tribal and even worse animal tattoo (the lion looks retarded)

Nesquik Bunny ?

Now with a stick and a peace t-shirt + screwed proportions, wry face and some gratuitous ugliness

4-Legged Animal

Perverted hyena with a stick ? 

Tribal + Bulldog + Dragon

The cliché stew

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?

(...)

Cat Angels

You may consider it fantastic. I considder it horrible, thus welcome to this blog tattoo.

Manly Tattoo

What can be manlier then a pink skull-like butterfly tattoo

USA Eagle

Is it just me or some tattoo animals have the "please, kill me" face expression ?

Horrible Tat Pack

A nice pack of tattoos from Molly McIsaac. Thanks a lot !

Unicorn

Why isn't he smiling ? He looks kinda pissed, at least I would be if someone tattooed my severed head around someones navel and make me smell (eat?) my mane for the rest of my life.
