‘Cute’ Tattoos That Turned Out to Be Anything But
Tattoos are expressions that don't always translate well onto the skin, and the designs aren't always well executed.
Many tattoos have a clear idea, but the finished result is very different due to crooked lines, spelling mistakes, or details that transform what was intended to be something incredible, ultimately generating surprise or confusion.
The following images show tattoos with designs that don't match their original intention, and these mistakes can lead to the tattoo being misinterpreted with a meaning different from what was intended.
These pictures serve as a warning that not all tattoo artists are qualified to execute a good design and that mistakes on the skin are not easily erased.
