Weird & Wonderful: An Eternity Of Bad Tattoos

April 15th, 2011 posted by admin

Once upon a time, having a dolphin – a very badly drawn, and wholly inaccurate dolphin, I might add – inked onto some part of your body was considered a hilariously bad thing to do. People laughed at you, called you names, probably didn’t invite you first for drinks after work. Then along came the Internet and suddenly, out of nowhere, having a bad tattoo made you one of many: a source of amusement. Now, along with fellow badly tattooed individuals, you can upload your bad tattoos onto a web-site or create your own. The funny thing? Everyone loves looking at a bad tattoo, and they will visit the web-site. In fact, the worse it is – hello everyone with a forehead tattoo – the more people will flock to see it.

And so we arrive at a very strange time in the history of our civilization. We arrive at a time when actually, having a bad tattoo is bad in the same way as a guilty-pleasure film we all secretly love to watch.

You have to ask yourself: what happened?

A quick search online will put paid to any hopes you had that bad tattoos were going away, or even beginning to fade slightly. Now, thanks to the Internet and its curious ability to make people want things – from carte r4i to moisturiser they don’t need to dogs with no legs and dogs with too many legs – you too could be thinking about getting a bad tattoo in mere minutes.

But please, I’m begging you, don’t.
