When it comes to bad tattoos, you can’t get any worse than trying to recreate someone’s face. While some tattoo artists are extremely talented and can pull off a portrait, others struggle with making that tattoo look real, or even similar to the model. These tattoos are so bad, you can’t do anything but laugh at them. When you’re done laughing, maybe it’s a good idea to cover up your tattoo.
Freddie Mercury
Freddie Mercury was absolutely inspiring when he was performing. He was so inspiring that someone wanted his picture on his arm. This was the result.
Demon Children
There is no greater love than between a child and a parent. One parent decided to have their children’s faces tattooed on their back. They look more like demons than actual kids.
Howling Wolf
This wolf turned out to be a little too cartoonish. It could probably shed a little fur too by the looks of it.
Vicious Lion
This King of the Jungle doesn’t look too intimidating. In fact, it almost looks like it belongs on the front of a cereal box. There is no fear in his roar here.
Tiger Teeth
If we didn’t tell you this was a tiger, would you have been able to guess what it was? Probably not. All we see when we look at this tattoo is the sharp, unrealistic teeth.
Baby
One father decided to get a portrait of his new baby girl on his arm. It looks like something out of a scary movie!
Loving Daughter
Someone call a priest because this little girl looks like she came right out of The Exorcist. If this is what she actually looks like, we sure hope she grows out of it.
Bob Marley
It’s impossible not to love Bob Marley and all that he stood for. However, he may have shown some kind of rage if he ever saw this interpretation of his face.
Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe was one of the biggest sex icons of the 1950’s. Although, it definitely wasn’t this face that gave her that status.
Freddie Mercury
Here we have another tattoo of Freddie Mercury. While this one is better than the first, it is still pretty terrible. At least they got the teeth right.
Michael Jackson
This cartoon version of Michael Jackson is absolutely laughable. It’s like someone drew a caricature of him and decided to tattoo it on someone’s body. At least they got the nose and lips right.
Little Bear
Would you believe us if we said this was the face of a bear? No? The lopsided ears and extremely sharp teeth probably throw you off a bit.
Joker
The Joker is a pretty intense villain when it comes to superheroes. Although, this tattoo artist didn’t do him any justice when it came to tattooing his face on someone’s arm.
The Gerber Baby
We have faith that the real baby is actually really adorable in person. However, this tattoo artist really butchered this portrait.
Benjamin Franklin
We get it, people want to show off how much money they have or how much love for money they have. This person was truly ripped off when they had Benjamin Franklin’s face tattooed on their arm, though.
Screaming Bear
Imagine being at the beach and seeing someone with this massive bear face tattoo n his back walk into the ocean. You might be a little terrified by first the size of it and second how poorly it was done.
Mythical Creature
At first you think this tattoo is of a bird. Then you see the head and it looks like a dog. What is going on here?
Mama
This mama has a face that only her children could love. Whoever thought that this was a good idea is probably regretting it right about now.
Sheleen
Falling in love is wonderful! Sometimes people fall in love so intensely that they insist on getting their loved one’s face tattooed on their body. This is the result sometimes.
Either Or
Help us figure this one out. Is it a monkey? Is it a lion? Is it something else entirely? We just don’t know!
The Dog
Some people’s pets are like their children, so they decided to get a tattoo of them. However, this person got a tattoo of something that resembles his dog, but definitely does not look like him.
Little Girl
This little girl looks like she’s come straight out of a scary movie. Why are her eyes blacked out? We have so many questions and not enough answers.
Amy Winehouse
This tattoo artist took some creative liberties when it came to putting Amy Winehouse’s face on someone’s body. He made her look more like a vampire than a singer.
Elvis Presley
Elvis Presley made women swoon when he was alive and singing. This tattoo just gives him a terrible reputation. It hardly even looks like him!
King T-Rex
Someone obviously likes dinosaurs a lot. So much so that they decided to put a crown on the head of their T-Rex.
Green Day
Please wake us up when September ends or when this guy gets his tattoos fixed, whichever comes first. The only way we know this is actually supposed to be the members of Green Day is because the band’s name is also tattooed below their faces.
Justin Bieber
It takes a lot for someone to get Justin Bieber’s face tattooed on their body. This looks much more like a little child than the pop singer. We would like to also point out the “#yolo” and “swag” tattooed in fancy letters.
Percy the Puppy
Here we have another pet lover who is lucky his tattoo is on his back so he doesn’t have to look at it everyday. While the coloring is right, the shape is completely off.
Hulk Hogan
This tattoo is too atrocious. The body of Hulk Hogan is actually pretty well done. It’s the face that really throws us off.
White Tiger
This tattoo artist almost got it right. However, when transferred to the body of a white tiger, you can see where they messed up just a little bit. Okay, a lot a bit.
Stereotyping Pitbulls
Well this tattoo definitely doesn’t help the case for making pitbulls out to be friendly dogs. It looks completely ferocious here! Not to mention, not realistic at all.
Just About Right
This guy decided to get his friend’s face tattooed on his butt. The similarity is absolutely shocking, or lack thereof.
The Beatles
The Beatles changed the music industry forever. They should never be disrespected with awful tattoos such as these. Can you even tell which is which?
One Too Many Fingers
This musician has just one too many fingers in this tattoo. Take a closer look at his hand wrapped around the microphone.
Jesus
Well, this may just be the Antichrist. Not only does that hand look completely unrealistic, but what’s going on with the right side of his face? It’s looking a little droopy.
Mobbin’
This mobster looks pretty confident holding a few hundred dollar bills in his hand. Or maybe it’s just the way the tattoo artist put his very low eyebrows. We’ll let you decided this one.
Hungry Baby
Who even thinks of tattoos like this? This baby is supposedly noshing on a rat. Not only is that completely unsanitary, but who would want that on their body for all eternity?
Edward Cullen
Remember when Twilight was all the rage? One girl decided to have Edward Cullen’s face tattooed on her back. However, he looks just a little off.
Shocked Baby
We really hope this artist messed up this baby’s face because we would feel very sorry for the parents if their child actually looked like this. Although, those are some pretty beautiful blue eyes it’s got there.
Chris Farley
This tattoo looks like it is a character straight out of Star Wars rather than comedian Chris Farley. We’re sure he’d be pretty offended if he knew aobut this.
Colorful Tiger
Why would you get only some coloring done on your tiger tattoo and not all of it? It looks terrible!
Steve-O
We can only imagine the pain this person went through to get this tattoo. However, it definitely isn’t the worst portrait tattoo we’ve seen.
