Ugliest Tattoos: In Case the State of the World Has You Feeling Schadenfreude-Deficient
Let's face it: things right now are...not great. The situation in Iran gets more and more intense every day. The economy is still utter poo. Psychos are out in full force and heavily armed. Personally, I often find myself feeling pretty crappy about being a member of the human race. And sometimes, when I'm that kind of mood, I just really need somebody to look down on. I'm not saying it's good or healthy, but sometimes I just need help getting out of bed with the knowledge that I'm not the biggest idiot around.
Enter Ugliest Tattoos.
It's a basic site in the tradition of I Can Has Cheezburger with user submissions and ratings and it's just a really great resource for those of us who have a biological need to anonymously point and laugh, especially once the lulz from that chick who "fell asleep" while getting 56 stars tattooed on her face wear off. The pictures range from tattoos that are just horrible, like this puma that seems to have some disturbing genetic malformation:
...to those that are technically well done (clean lines, nice shading, etc.), but have that certain...je ne sais WTF? like this daughter/country/Star Wars...thing:
I was a member of several bad tattoos communities on LiveJournal, but they were always getting complaints from people who found their tattoos there and being shut down by the powers that be. I'm not sure what fairy dust Ugliest Tattoos sprinkled on themselves to escape a similar fate, but keep it coming, Tinkerbell.

When I was 18 (a billion years ago) I almost got a full thigh tattoo of a tiger sitting in front of a Lily. Thank God I was lazy and stoned a lot so I forgot my plans after about five minutes and opted for Taco Bell instead. I totally could have been on that site. So see kiddies! Sometimes it DOES pay to be stoned and lazy!

Ok, thanks a lot. I was just going to check in to MamaPop for a few minutes, read a couple of articles, then go get some stuff done. I've now been on the Ugliest Tattoos site for, like, an hour. I'm blaming you when my child has to leave for school tomorrow in dirty underwear because I didn't get the laundry done!

Love this site & have shared it with coworkers and Facebook peeps. "Daughter Country Star Wars" should totally be the new Marine Corps credo.

Thanks, that's a great addition to Cake Wrecks and Awkward Family Photos - I will never be able to get off the net.

OMFG. Why, ever on God's green earth would anyone ever bust out a 'Dick Sucka' tat with a big peen on their chest pointing up?
She's gonna be the most popular broad at the old age home, I'll tell ya that right now!
