Pounded Ink

There is nothing quite like a bad tattoo or getting something stupid immortalized on yourself forever. The only thing better is possibly laughing at top celebrities with horrible tattoos. I am going to showcase five celebrities in this article that, in my opinion, have some horrible tattoos. Maybe this list will get you to rethink that lobster claw back piece you’ve been thinking about.

Let the berating begin! Here are the worst celebrity tattoos I could find in random order.

Pamela Anderson - America’s favorite fake titty celeb never fails when it comes to bad tattoo ideas. Pam has several bad tattoos. Does anyone out there think that the barbed wire tattoo around her arm was a statement, or just another empty headed decision from the woman who married Kid Rock. Not to be outdone the steamy Pam continued to get inked with bad ideas as she placed a poorly designed tribal inspired back piece that has no real form or function. And how could we forget her wedding band to rocker Tommy Lee that the lovely Pam recently changed to “Mommy”.

Johnny Depp - I wonder if they have better tattoo artist in France? I sure hope so for our favorite pirate who has no shortage of bad tattoos. It seems that Johnny gets tattooed anytime he gets drunk enough to make a bad decision. The heart on his left arm dates back to his 21 Jump Street days and has an obvious old school look. Most of his tattoos are badly faded and the Indian on his right arm is so poorly tattooed that it is hard to distinguish exactly what it is. My favorite tattoo mishap from Mr. Depp is the ribbon banner on his right arm that says “Wino Forever”. A laser job done to what originally said “Winona Forever”.

Amy Winehouse - Now for my favorite nut job. The heroin addicted singer needs to goto tattoo rehab before she destroys her entire flesh canvas. Many of her tattoos appear to have been done by a capable tattooist, but Vincent Van Gogh he is not. Amy has a thing for pinup style tattoos but someone needs to check her sobriety level when she signs off on the art for these train wrecks. I wonder what tattoo she will get to cover the needle tracks?

Mike Tyson - Perhaps bad tattoos inspire the rage that is Mike Tyson. He will “Eat your children” in all his poorly tattooed glory. The champ has several horrible portraits including a head resembling Arthur Ashe with lettering which spells “Days Of Grace” that looks like a 5th grader tattooed it. Tyson has several other poorly tattooed portraits including Mao Tsetung and Monica Turner. Not to be outdone Tyson crowned himself with a facial tattoo after wining a championship some years ago. A facial tattoo is not only a commitment, you need to think about design which Tyson obviously didn’t. I’m sure he just walked in and squealed “I wanna tattoo my face”. Get in the chair.

Mark Wahlberg - He might as well have tattooed “Marky Mark” on his chest for all the bad tattoo idea’s he has had. What could be more self centered than tattooing your own name on your arm? How about tattooing a fake necklace all the way down to your breast plate or a poorly done portrait of Bob Marley that looks more black than black and grey. I can’t wait for the “Funky Bunch” back piece.

Has this list inspired you to rethink your latest tattoo idea?
