Tattooed Couples Who May Regret Their Ink One Day
Love is a beautiful thing, but it can make you do all sorts of crazy things. The most common culprits are brand new couples when they’re still in the honeymoon phase and everything is all sunshine and roses. People in that situation tend to make some pretty questionable choices. Some of these include moving in too quickly, creating a joint bank account, and even getting pretty cringey tattoos. The issue with that last one is that it’s a pretty permanent decision.
Now we’re not shaming all couple tattoos, some of them are pretty cute and tasteful. For now, let’s focus on the couples who make some pretty embarrassing mistakes when it came to getting inked and didn’t seem to think twice before going under the needle.
Tattooed Couples Who May Regret Their Ink One Day
Here are some couples who really should have reconsidered entering the tattoo parlor.
One of Them Will Always Be Incomplete
Usually, puzzle piece tattoos are supposed to send the message “you complete me”. We don’t know if this design is saying something as sweet or innocent as that. In fact, it looks like it’s trying to say that one of them will always be incomplete, even when they’re together. If he’s willing to steal a chunk of her arm to make himself whole he might not be that great of a boyfriend!
One of Them Will Always Be Incomplete
Did they really need to have these designs be so graphic? The dripping blood from her tattoo is pretty gnarly, people will probably avert their eyes as soon as they’ve taken one look at it. This couple is definitely giving us dark and creepy vibes.
The Design Fails Strike Back
This couple is most definitely a big fan of Star Wars, that much we know for sure. But we don’t think the execution of this tattoo makes a whole lot of sense! They seem to be a little confused when it comes to the order of the words. “You fight will alone never” looks like a pretty convoluted sentence, we don’t think anyone is going to understand it.
The Design Fails Strike Back
Of course, if they wanted the quote to sound like it was coming from Grandmaster Yoda they may have written it as, “Fight alone, you will never”. Maybe they aren’t the big fans of Star Wars we assumed they were, it could be that they never watched the movies and just thought lightsabers looked cool.
The Weirdest Tattoo of Them All
Now, this has got to be one of the plainest and more ordinary tattoos ever, and at the very same time, it’s also one of the weirdest! Why on Earth would anyone want a straight line tattooed on their body that way? And the tattoo only lines up between the two of them if the guy is standing in that awkward position.
The Weirdest Tattoo of Them All
Definitely not a very thought-out concept, and not a very flattering design. We’re not even sure what kind of message they were trying to give off with this idea. Maybe their relationship is flat and boring…? That can’t be, a boring couple would never have gotten such an outlandish and risky tattoo like this one.
Stop Getting Tattoos Like This!
Once again, another couple that gets a tattoo that involves them having to hold hands for it to work! On their own, these tattoos are not the worst thing in the world. They are definitely somewhat cute on their own. But maybe it would have been better if they got the tattoos in the same spot instead of the random places they chose.
Stop Getting Tattoos Like This!
Now it just looks like the key is pointing towards the lock, but can never actually open it because of the weird angle. Maybe this could have been a cute little classroom doodle to draw on your hand while bored but as a tattoo? It definitely doesn’t work, which is exactly why it’s on this list.
This is Why You Don’t Tattoo at Home
If you’re able to look at this photo without recoiling in disgust then kudos to you because we’re having an extremely hard time with it. When getting any kind of tattoo it’s recommended to go to a professional, and not have your boyfriend who just picked it up as a hobby ink you at the dining room table. Otherwise, you’re going to end up with a disaster like this.
This is Why You Don’t Tattoo at Home
This person must really be “krazy” if they thought this hideous tattoo was a good idea. It looks like she’s developing some kind of reaction to the ink job, as there’s a boiling developing on her ring finger. It’s almost as gross as the tattoo art itself, and probably equally as painful.
Johnny Depp’s “Wino Forever”
Don’t think the rich and famous are exempt from making embarrassing tattoo mistakes! The most infamous celebrity tattoo coverup belongs to Johnny Depp, there’s no other competition. While engaged to Winona Ryder he decided to get the words “Winona Forever” tattooed on his arm, it probably seemed like a good idea at the time. But as we all know, Hollywood couples rarely last forever.
Johnny Depp’s “Wino Forever”
The two stars broke up in the 90s, but the tattoos obviously didn’t fade with the romance. Rather than remove all the ink, he simply did away with the letters “na”, so “Winona Forever” became “Wino Forever”. We guess Depp must be a really big wine fan! We wonder what types are his favorite; red, white, or rose?
Together the Sentence Doesn’t Make Sense
This might have been a sweet sentence that expressed the sentiment of this couple’s relationship, but it doesn’t work as a couple’s tattoo at all. When they put their hands together it ends up looking like “What God has let no man joined together separate,” which you can probably tell doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. Maybe they should have stuck with a single line of text.
Together the Sentence Doesn’t Make Sense
Furthermore, are they sure God really wants to be the third wheel of this relationship? Was he consulted before this ink was done? And who’s to say God was the one who brought them together? Maybe it was one of their friends who set them up and they should have their name tatted on their arm instead.
You Don’t Want to Actually Share a Heartbeat
At first glance this tattoo seems innocent enough, this couple is trying to show that they share one heartbeat. Seems to make sense until you think about it for more than two seconds. For starters, it would be pretty unsettling to find out that they actually DID share a heartbeat, wouldn’t they have to be conjoined to be able to do that?
You Don’t Want to Actually Share a Heartbeat
I sure hope that isn’t the case with this couple, if it were then it might mean their relationship is super taboo and possibly illegal. The second thing we noticed is that the heartbeat seems to stop as it crosses over into the other person’s hand! We know that having your heart stop is a metaphor for falling in love, but it shouldn’t be depicted like this!
One Heart, Two Bodies
Sometimes love can feel like two hearts coming together as one, but this couple turned that concept into a total eyesore of a tattoo. The only way this visual looks anything like a heart is if they’re both fully nude and standing in that particular pose, otherwise, it’s just going to look like a bunch of random lines and curves.
One Heart, Two Bodies
Even the smile on the girlfriend’s face seems to be hesitant like she’s still unsure as to whether this tattoo was a good idea or not. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t. It’s going to be a huge bummer the next time one of them goes to the beach and people start asking what the heck their tattoo is supposed to be.
Sometimes “I Love You” is Enough
There are so many ways a person might express their love to their partner. “You complete me,” is a classic one, there’s also “You’re the light of my life,” and of course the simple “I love you.” But what happens when someone tries to go for something a little more original, and, well, lengthy? You end up with a convoluted poem like this.
Sometimes “I Love You” is Enough
Hopefully, most people will have kept their confusing prose on paper and not get it permanently written on their body. This person clearly decided their writing was too beautiful to be written in pencil. They’re going to get a lot of strangers staring at them trying to figure out what the heck it says!
What Happens When They Let Go?
This couple wanted a tattoo that would spell out the word “LOVE” whenever their hands were linked. Sounds like a pretty sweet sentiment right? Well, if you consider what this ink will look like when they’re apart it becomes a lot less cute and a lot more confusing. She’s going to have to go to work and have all her colleagues ask “What’s up with the OE tattoo on your hand?”
What Happens When They Let Go?
We highly doubt this couple is able to spend every waking moment together, not to mention even when they are in each other’s presence they can’t always be holding hands. It might look cute in this particular photo, but once the camera’s put away they’re each stuck with pretty lame individual tattoos.
When One of Them Moves Their Bond is Broken
This tattoo is designed very well, but there are still a few things wrong with it that have landed it on this list. For one, if she wears a pair of shoes with even a small heel the whole dynamic is thrown off. The next problem is that if they want to show people their new ink they’ll have to pull their shirts down and stand right next to each other.
When One of Them Moves Their Bond is Broken
A bit of an awkward thing to do in front of your friends and family. The last issue is that, unless they’re standing together, the string is broken! What kind of message does that send? That unless they’re together their bond is broken? They clearly didn’t think this through.
Face It, This is a Terrible Tattoo
It looks like these couples have gotten each other’s names tattooed, which is a pretty traditional route to take when you want to remember the person you love. However, there’s absolutely nothing else about this ink that’s in line with normal tattoos. There’s really no point in only pointing out the font they chose, the biggest issue is that they chose to get tatted on their faces!
Face It, This is a Terrible Tattoo
I guess neither of them will have to introduce the other by name, not when they already have their names written in plain sight. This is going to be a pretty awkward explanation for anyone who sees their new face designs. This will most definitely have their parents dragging them by the ear to the laser removal place.
They Definitely Never Read the Play
Most people are familiar with the tragic Shakespearean tale of Romeo and Juliet. While it’s definitely a beautiful piece of literature, we’re not sure you want to compare your relationship to it. For those who have only scratched the surface of this story, the couple ends up dead by the end of the play while they are still teenagers, illustrating the not so smart decisions young people in love make.
They Definitely Never Read the Play
If that was the message this couple was going for then they hit the nail on the head! But it’s more likely they thought the tattoos would be a romantic symbol of their love to one another, in which case it makes this photo all the more ironic.
Borderline Disturbing
Most people will choose to have their loved one’s name inked on their body, or maybe even the date of their anniversary, but only a few will decide to do something this risky. There’s a good reason most people don’t end up getting a photorealistic picture of their partner tattooed, and that’s because it usually ends up looking like this!
Borderline Disturbing
This is a tattoo that looks terrible on the man who got it, not to mention it also paints a pretty unflattering picture of his girlfriend. We’re sure she wasn’t too thrilled to see her man come home with that on his arm, it probably caused a fight between the two of them as well. That’s a lesson he probably had to learn the hard way.
“SUMT” & “OLAE”
It’s pretty concerning to see the number of couples who don’t get what a bad idea these tattoos are. If your tattoo only makes sense so long as you’re standing a particular way with your partner it’s not a good tattoo. This couple might have thought this photo came out looking adorable, but just wait and see what happens once their hands are unclasped.
“SUMT” & “OLAE”
Then he’s going to be left with SUMT and she’s going to have OLAE tattooed, neither of which make any sense whatsoever. It’s going to be pretty confusing when they first show their tattoos off to people separately. They’ll have to carry the photo around to keep people from rolling their eyes at them.
Power Couple
What could be a more romantic symbol than a battery? This couple decided to declare their love with one of the weirdest items in mind. Perhaps they enjoy disagreeing on pumping the volume at home? Or maybe they’re really into electronics? Most likely they were trying to go for the “opposites attract” message, but they took it to quite a literal level.
Power Couple
Together, these tattoos don’t make a lot of sense, but assuming this couple’s hands aren’t glued together 24/7, these tattoos are even weirder if you look at them separately. It would have been interesting if they could somehow implant magnets underneath their arms, which might add something to this design. But as it is it’s a little generic and not very romantic.
Please Let the Tattoo Artist Do Their Job
We’re struggling to figure out if this is a real tattoo, or if it’s actually just a permanent marker on their fingers. In the worst-case scenario, they wrote “promise” in script on each other’s hands and got it tattooed like that. Bad idea, now the words are difficult to read and look super messy. Maybe they should have just kept it in the pen ink when they’d still be able to wash it off when it got old.
Please Let the Tattoo Artist Do Their Job
What’s more, this tattoo job looks super unprofessional. There’s no shame in getting your tattoo written out by a real tattoo artist, in fact, that’s what most people do when it comes to their ink! Maybe something they should keep in mind the next time they go under the needle.
You’re the Straw to My Juice Box
There are various poetic ways for someone to describe how their lover completes them. The sun in their sky, the cream in their coffee, but the plastic straw in their juice box? That’s definitely a new one. We guess it could make sense, after all, there’s no way to get the juice out of the box if you don’t have a straw.
You’re the Straw to My Juice Box
And without a box of juice, the straw basically has no purpose. This might be a metaphor that makes sense functionally, but it’s not especially romantic. Do you really want to compare your relationship to a high fructose beverage children have in their lunch boxes? We can think of a number of things more lovey-dovey, and significantly less sticky!
Kiss Me, Permanently
These two didn’t think these matching tattoos through very much, these “smooch prints” just ended up looking like a pair of painful hickies. The brightness of the lipstick ensures that these will be easily noticed, which might not always be a good thing if they end up regretting the ink. Some men might be embarrassed to have their girlfriend’s lipstick marks on their face, but this dude was bold enough to get it permanently placed on his chest!
Kiss Me, Permanently
Considering the different shades of these kissy marks, we have to wonder who exactly picked out the color for the boyfriend. We assume he doesn’t wear lipstick on a regular basis, so making that decision might have been a little disorienting for him.
Celebrities Making Bad Decisions
In Angelina Jolie’s young and wild days, long before Brad Pitt or any of their children, she was married to actor Billy Bob Thornton. Their romance was so intense that she wanted to get his name inked alongside the image of a dragon. But like so many celebrity power couples, the relationship didn’t end up lasting. Jolie decided to go the route of laser tattoo removal.
Celebrities Making Bad Decisions
Since tattoo removal isn’t always perfect, she opted to get a second tattoo over the first one. Instead of featuring the name of a romantic interest, it shows the geographic coordinates of the birthplaces of her adopted children. The starlet has 16 different tattoos, and we think this is a pretty unique and sentimental one!
Make Better Decisions, Both of You
These partners decided to get matching tattoos that send a special message when their fingers are aligned. But it may be a better option to just keep that message fragmented because when you read the whole thing together it’s pretty embarrassing. One finger has the text “let’s make” while the other says “mistakes” It’s likely the first mistake they made was getting this permanently written on their body!
Make Better Decisions, Both of You
What other mistakes could they be referring to? If they break up eventually this is going to look a whole lot worse, the tattoos will seem to suggest that their relationship was a mistake they made together! Better avoid making mistakes in the future and try to make good choices.
The Most Important Thing to Avoid with Couples Tattoos
Okay, so the biggest tip we can give future couples who want to get matching tattoos is this: do NOT get a tattoo that can only be read if the two of you are holding hands! If there is anything to take away from this article it is that lesson. You should especially not go through with a tattoo like this if the message can only be read at a very specific angle when you’re holding hands.
The Most Important Thing to Avoid with Couples Tattoos
In the case of this couple, their tattoo is still very difficult to make out even when their hands are in the right position! The man seems to already have been inked before, you think he would know a little bit better when it came to tattoo designs.
Is it a Bird? Is it a Wave?
Matching tattoos are an easy way to create a permanent, physical connection with your partner. However, when deciding on a design it’s advisable to pick something that’s at least somewhat easy to recognize. We can definitely spot a heart in this tattoo, but what about the rest of it? If we squint and look sideways it kind of looks like a bent-over penguin.
Is it a Bird? Is it a Wave?
Or perhaps it’s a heart surfing on a wave? There’s really no way to know without asking one of these two what the heck they were thinking when they got this ink done. They’re going to have to be constantly answering the question, “What’s that thing on your wrist supposed to be?”. At least the two of them will understand each other.
The Harsh Truth Behind this Innocent Tattoo
This might seem like a cute idea at first glance, but really take a moment to think about the message here. Is he trying to say that she’s only a small piece of his pie and he has many others exactly like her in his life? This tattoo concept is basically a huge diss to the girlfriend and states that she’s not special, there are at least six more she could be replaced with!
The Harsh Truth Behind this Innocent Tattoo
We don’t know which of these two came up with the idea, but they probably should have thought it through a little longer before getting it inked. Maybe two halves of one pizza would have made more sense. Oh well, at least it’s not another lock and key!
This is Real Bro Love Right Here
What happens when you get a little too tipsy when you’re out with the boys? You drunkenly say “I love you, man,” while drunk tears stream down your face, and you vow to get matching tattoos so you can remember each other forever. These two probably stumbled into the tattoo parlor with a few hundred bucks in their hands and, struggling to stand up straight, asked to get some ink.
This is Real Bro Love Right Here
When the tattoo artist asked what they wanted to get done they looked at each other and held up the cans of bears they had in hand. At least, that’s how we think the story could have likely played out. Now they’ll be able to toast each other anywhere and anytime.
Now They Must Keep Their Vow of Veganism
This appears to be the first tattoo of this couple, and they decided to go with something that links them together. These two must have bonded over the fact that they are both vegan, but what happens if one of them slips? If one ever catches the other at a McDonald’s then they’re going to end up having a pretty unpleasant chat.
Now They Must Keep Their Vow of Veganism
Veganism is clearly important enough to one part of this couple, and this tattoo idea may have been what they came up with to keep the other in check. It’s going to be pretty awkward to order a hamburger with the word “HERBIVORE” tattooed on your wrist. Pretty devious plan to keep your partner tethered to your lifestyle forever.
Maybe the Tattoo Artist was Tipsy?
It looks as if whoever inked this design on these two might have been working the tattoo needle with their left hand. The skulls look super shaky, it looks more like a misshapen splotch than anything else. The text is also nearly impossible to read, but we can definitely make out the word “Die”. Is this a couple’s tattoo or a breakup tattoo??
Maybe the Tattoo Artist was Tipsy?
We don’t know what the deal is with all these grim couples, they must all be hanging out at some graveyard together when they get ideas like this. Unfortunately, instead of these designs staying in their dark minds, they decide to bring them out into the open. Might be better to keep the death vibes at Hot Topic.
This Relationship is a Bit Aggressive
We’re not sure why this couple would want to associate something like plastic vampire fangs with their relationship. It’s a little bit of a juvenile design and gives off the impression that these two are still quite young. We wonder if they had to have a parent accompany them when they got this ink. Maybe their mom or dad should’ve vetoed the idea instead of enabling them.
This Relationship is a Bit Aggressive
We hope this couple has bandages and sanitary wipes on hand if they’re biting each other this much. Could it be that the two of them are actual vampires? What other reason would they have to chomp on each other? Seems like this relationship might be a little aggressive and toxic.
A Very Puzzling Tattoo
Puzzle pieces are a great way of telling the world that your partner completes you. But for this kind of tattoo idea to work, the puzzle pieces need to actually be able to go together! It looks like these pieces are totally different parts of the puzzle, in which case perhaps they weren’t meant for each other in the first place.
A Very Puzzling Tattoo
Not exactly the message you want to send when it comes to your dearly beloved. These pieces might end up completing each other, but not without the rest of the parts of the puzzle. Then what are they trying to say, that without other people involved they aren’t whole as a couple? That’s a pretty unsettling idea! s is a little next level.
A Very Painful Way to Say “I Love You”
These quotes may look familiar if you’re a sci-fi fan. In “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back”, Princess Leia confesses her love to Hans Solo, only to receive “I know” instead of the anticipated “I love you too”. Not exactly the most romantic was to answer that kind of proclamation of love, but apparently, this couple didn’t agree. They’re probably really into Star Wars and thought the exchange was cute.
A Very Painful Way to Say “I Love You”
There’s nothing wrong with getting a quote from a favorite movie tattooed with your loved one, but did they have to get them done in such an unusual place? Now, whenever they want to show off their tattoo they might risk grossing some people out, especially if they happen to have bad bread at the moment. They should’ve chosen a different place.
Tattoo or a Weird Birthmark?
We don’t think we could stress this enough, but getting tattoos that only work when you and your significant other are holding hands is pretty much an invitation to an epic fail. This couple probably thought they were getting two halves of one heart, but they look a whole lot more like very large, dark birthmarks. At least now they will have matching birthmarks!
Tattoo or a Weird Birthmark?
It figures that these two would be eighteen, that’s definitely the age one might make a terrible decision like this. The execution of this poorly thought out concept makes it look like they went to a total amateur tattoo artist, most likely a mutual friend. Hopefully, they can save up and go to a professional when they inevitably want it removed!
Wash Your Hands, Please!
We’ve seen couples with all sorts of phrases tattooed on their hands, arms, and other parts of their body, but we’ve never seen anything that comes even close to this! We don’t even want to know why these two would want to get the phrase “dirty hands” inked on themselves, but we can probably take a few guesses. Maybe they’re both deathly afraid of soap.
Wash Your Hands, Please!
Maybe they both have a green thumb and are constantly digging around in the dirt. One thing’s for sure, if they ever break up they’re going to have some pretty difficult tattoos to explain. We’re still struggling to find a good explanation for this ink, and that’s while they’re still holding hands!
A Very Grim Way to Represent Your Love
Here is another tattoo that has a kind of grim vibe to it. There are no roses or chocolate to be found here, this couple’s ultimate symbol of romance are their skeletons! Maybe they are trying to say that they will stay together until the grave? Seems a bit weird to fixate your relationship on your inevitable death, but maybe that’s just the kind of couple this is.
A Very Grim Way to Represent Your Love
But we still have some questions, specifically about the woman’s tattoo. Why on Earth is her skeleton wearing a flower? How would a skeleton even keep a flower balanced like that, it doesn’t have any ears! We guess this was a way to differentiate between the two tattoos, but it still looks super weird.
A Rager and a Lover
These two are apparently very different when it comes to their personality types. One of them is a rager, which we guess means he likes wild parties, and the other is a lover. Do ragers and lovers typically go together? Is this some kind of perfect pairing that we aren’t aware of? Hopefully, she doesn’t get tired of all his raging and he doesn’t start to resent her loving.
A Rager and a Lover
We wonder how these two ended up coming together in the first place when they’re so completely different. Maybe she brings him down from his raging and he brings a little excitement into her loving? Or maybe it’s not that deep and they thought up this idea while they were getting high.
Perfectly Aligned…Until It’s Not
This one was really really poorly planned out, if either of these people grows any taller, even by an inch, this whole thing will go down the drain. Hopefully, these are two fully grown adults whose heights are not going to change anymore. But they should take into account that they’ll end up shrinking as they grow older! Better enjoy it while it lasts.
Perfectly Aligned…Until It’s Not
We hope she isn’t a fan of wearing high heels, that’s another thing that could mess this tattoo up. This guy wanted to tell his partner that she is his sun and moon but instead said that this relationship has no room to grow. Not exactly something you want to associate with your relationship.
The Biggest Sin is that Font
We think the biggest crime that this tattoo is committing is those clashing fonts! The obvious choice would’ve been to go with the Disney lettering that the woman chose, but what’s the deal with the guy’s font choice? Would’ve looked a whole lot better if they kept things consistent.
The Biggest Sin is that Font
It’s likely that these two were such huge Disney/Pixar fanatics that they didn’t even care about the tattoo quality. Also, I don’t even think I need to mention that these tattoos won’t make any sense if they should ever break up. Maybe it would have been a better idea to just get t-shirts with their favorite character on them instead, would’ve been a lot more tasteful and a lot less permanent.
Looks Like their Love Just Keeps Dying
I think it’s time that people began to understand how an ECG is read. Because if I’m looking at this couple’s tattoo correctly, they’re trying to say that they were dead, then came to life, then died again, then came back to life AGAIN only to die a third time! What kind of dangerous things do they get up to in their relationship that would cause them to have so many near-death experiences?
Looks Like their Love Just Keeps Dying
People: when the line goes straight for that long that means your heart has stopped! Maybe one of them should have gotten a tattoo of a defibrillator on their arm. You know, something that can resuscitate their relationship and make sure it stays alive after it almost dies.
A High-Calorie Kind of Relationship
Comparing your love to the sun, moon, and stars is pretty common. But to compare it to macaroni, cheese, and bacon? Well, that’s a little more unique, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea! These might all be delicious foods that taste good separately as well as combined, but we wouldn’t go around using them as a symbol of love!
A High-Calorie Kind of Relationship
Anyone who sees these two apart is going to think that they’re just really passionate about unhealthy foods. Hopefully, neither of them will go vegan in their lifetime, or these are going to look very out of place. They might bond in their love of high sodium munchies, but they better break these habits before they end up with cholesterol problems!
You Complete My Copyright Infringement
This tattoo is for hardcore Disney fans. For them, they fit each together and complete each other. And why not share your inevitable bond with the world by getting it tattooed? That is if you want to have Mickey and Minnie Mouse on your hand forever and ever. Better be careful though, those are trademarked characters!
You Complete My Copyright Infringement
Actually, if you think of it they are the oldest couple in history even if they are fictional. As every tale ends with, and they lived happily ever after, we sure hope this couple did and still is going strong.
True Love Doesn’t Lie
Many people have experienced being hurt at the hands of a previous partner, being treated badly, or even lied to. But is that a good enough reason to put a bold statement like “no lies just love” on your arms forever? The biggest issue with this tattoo has to be how one half sounds much better on its own than the other.
True Love Doesn’t Lie
“Just love” is actually kind of cute to have on your arm regardless of the “no lies“ part. But having “no lies” is kind of a negative message. If this couple eventually breaks up one of them will be stuck with the worse end of this tattoo. Hopefully, they will never lie to each other or this ink would make things very ironic.
A Toast To Love
Couples can come together and bond over a variety of things. A shared love for a TV show, or maybe a city they traveled together, even a favorite song. But we have never in all our years on Earth heard of a couple who felt this strongly about toast! Maybe they first met at a breakfast bar, or perhaps one of them confessed their love while the other was preparing this morning snack.
A Toast To Love
It’s even a possibility that he hid the engagement ring in the toaster upon proposing. Whatever the reason may be, they’ll probably end up having to explain it every single time someone asks why they have toast tattooed on their body, and we want to meet them to find out.
There’s Nothing More Romantic Than A Pair Of Criminal’s Names
Everyone knows about the famous fictional couple Bonnie and Clyde, who committed criminal acts together all over the United States. They might have thought that tattooing their names on their arms made them look like a pretty tough couple, but when you dig into the history of the infamous couple the comparison isn’t as flattering. Bonnie and Clyde were said to have killed several people, including nine police officers.
There’s Nothing More Romantic Than A Pair Of Criminal’s Names
They might appear to be a glamorous and romantic couple in the movie of their lives, but the real history is a lot more gruesome than that. These tattoos might have seemed like a cute idea at first, but they should’ve spent a little more time researching before going through with them.
Ditto?
This couple was clearly newly married when they decided to get these complimentary tattooed inked on their ring fingers. We guess that if they remove, or even lose, their precious engagement rings, the words will still remain and forever remind them of their marital bond. The only problem is that “ditto” isn’t exactly the most romantic way to answer your partner at the altar!
Ditto?
I don’t know how any priest or rabbi would react if the bride or groom answered that way after being asked if they will remain with their love through sickness and health. Oh well, at least they were able to get this photo out of it, which was definitely posted onto all their social media accounts as soon as it was taken.
Spicing Up Their Love Life?
Forget what you heard about peanut butter and jelly, going together like salt and pepper is more up this couple’s alley. But was it really a wise idea to get these creepy looking shakers tattooed on their arms? Maybe it was a way for them to spice up their relationship? Or maybe they’re trying to say their romance lacks seasoning?
Spicing Up Their Love Life?
If this is a couple who likes to cook together then the tattoos would make sense, but the design is just too ugly to look at. Even side by side the smiling faces on these characters would give anyone the heebie-jeebies, and apart they would make even less sense. They’re tacky, but maybe that’s just this couple’s style, to each their own!
Outdated Catchphrases Make Great Tattoos, Right?
Looks like there might have been two couples here who made regrettable decisions! That’s the power of peer pressure, once a few of your friends want to get matching tattoos you have to as well. It’s just too bad that the tattoo ideas they had were something that would soon become extremely outdated. We wonder if they all went together to get the laser tattoo removal, too.
Outdated Catchphrases Make Great Tattoos, Right?
If they didn’t end up getting these removed then they’re going to look pretty ridiculous going to the beach with an old catchphrase on their shoulder. Trends might seem cool now, but they are always prone to disappearing and being replaced by the next thing, which is why they make for terrible tattoos!
Howdy, Angel
Some couples go together like bacon and eggs, others like salt and pepper, and some even go together like peanut butter and jelly. This couple, however, goes together like an angel and a cowboy..? We’ve never heard of such a combination, maybe this reference is from a very niche movie in which an angel and cowboy run off together and get married.
Howdy, Angel
Maybe after seeing this tattoo some director out there will end up making a film with that plot. This might be an inside joke between the two of them, or maybe they have a sense of humor that’s utterly random. Nevertheless, it’s not hard to understand how these lovers’ tattoos made their way to this list.
Two Very Ugly Looking Dragons
This is what happens when you try to doodle your design while you’re still on the way to the tattoo parlor. We guess these were intended to be two dragons coming together to form the shape of a heart, but it looks a little more like a couple of misshapen snakes. Maybe this is something you want to keep off of social media, lest all your friends and family see it and silently judge you.
Two Very Ugly Looking Dragons
It looks like one of their friends isn’t shy about sharing their disapproval, they already have a “Lol” comment on the photo. That’s not exactly the kind of feedback you want to hear when sharing your brand new ink with the world.
Fruits and Veggies All The Way
Is this the kind of tattoo that a vegetarian or a vegan might want to get? Maybe the kind of design a gardening fanatic or a salad eater would seek out? Or perhaps this was the first grocery list they made together and they wanted it memorialized forever on their arms. The colors of this ink only make it stand out more, which might not be a good thing if they end up regretting it down the road!
Fruits and Veggies All The Way
We can only assume that the selection of produce was made to be in the colors of the rainbow, but unless they’re standing side by side it just looks like a random assortment of vegetables. They probably get a lot of stares when they’re at the farmer’s market.
The Ultimate Symbol of Romance?
What are a few romantic symbols you can think of off the top of your head? Hearts, flowers, and even doves might be a few things that would appear on that list. But sushi? That’s not exactly something that paints a romantic picture in people’s minds. Some people might be into this Japanese delicacy, but that doesn’t take away from the fact it still has a fishy smell!
The Ultimate Symbol of Romance?
Not exactly the kind of aroma you want to be associating with your love life. Perhaps these two had their first date in a sushi restaurant, or maybe they’re head chefs at Japanese restaurants. But those things work better as conversation pieces and less as permanent ink.
Hello Kitty Turns Trashy
Hello Kitty has been an insanely popular character since her debut in 1974, so it’s no surprise some people choose to have her imprinted on their bodies. Traditionally Hello Kitty is an adorable white cat with a red bow, however, this couple seems to have taken the kid-friendly figure to a less innocent angle. Some might even call this rendition of the beloved icon “trashy”.
Hello Kitty Turns Trashy
The once sweet cartoon kitty has been transformed into a skull wearing, gun-toting, PG-13 rated image. I sure hope no children end up seeing these tattoos, they might end up very confused and upset! “Mommy, why does Hello Kitty have a smoking gun?” I can just imagine a kid asking. Truly a bizarre thing to want to be tattooed on your body.
Nothing Says Eternal Love Like South Park and Vomit
Thousands of people worldwide are longtime fans of the adult animated series “South Park”. It seems that this couple was included among this fandom, but of all the tattoo ideas they could’ve gone with they seem to have chosen the most disgusting one. In the earlier seasons, Stan would often vomit on Wendy due to his hidden crush on her, which was pretty normal among the show’s usual gross-out humor.
Nothing Says Eternal Love Like South Park and Vomit
It may seem funny when it’s happening on your TV screen, but we don’t think it’s as endearing as a permanent image on your arm. We think the girlfriend definitely got the short end of the stick, ending up with the character who has vomit all over her face. Pretty gag-worthy.
This Song was Far from a Timeless Classic
Sometimes a new hit song appears on Billboard’s Top 100 and captures the hearts of listeners. People can be so inspired by a song that they decide to get the lyrics tattooed on them. But we don’t know if the Harlem Shake is a song worthy of that kind of tribute! Let alone something that ties you and your partner together.
This Song was Far from a Timeless Classic
These two have to be incredibly young, no one above the age of 18 would ever consider getting a meme song permanently written on their bodies. A few months after the song faded into obscurity there were probably really regretting this poorly thought decision. If you’re getting inked with song lyrics, make sure it’s something timeless! After all, it’s going to be on your body forever.
We’ve Reached The Pits
Everyone loves avocados, they’re tasty and full of all kinds of vitamins and minerals. But we didn’t think anyone’s undying love for this fruit (vegetable?) was strong enough to get it permanently inked on their body. Clearly, we were wrong. These two seem to have come together over their mutual passion for avocados. We wonder how exactly they found out they had this quirk in common.
We’ve Reached The Pits
Maybe she suggested making guacamole on their first date and he instantly fell head over heels. Maybe he even proposed with a ring inside a hollowed-out avocado, and then they had a wedding that used them as the food, centerpieces, and wedding cake. Their love of avocado might not be that extreme, but it’s certainly more intense than most.
The Second Worst Place to Get Inked
If there’s one place you don’t want to tattoo it’s your neck. It’s the only place that comes in second to a face tattoo, and it’s going to be seen by every person you come into contact with (that is unless you’re a big fan of wearing turtlenecks). This couple seems to have gone with a classic heart design, but there’s a weird twist to it that makes their ink even tackier.
The Second Worst Place to Get Inked
For some reason, it looks like someone has taken a bite out of both of these hearts. As if it wasn’t odd enough to have a tattoo on your neck, these two have taken tasteless to the next level. At least they both know they aren’t alone!
Rock and Roll
These two don’t go together like Rock and Roll, they go together like rock and…ruler? Or maybe they go together the way bad dad humor goes with people groaning in embarrassment. We’re glad this couple was able to bond over their shared love of corny jokes, but we don’t think many people are going to appreciate this joke as much as they do.
Rock and Roll
If they end up making it as a couple and start a family they will have a really easy time with their future children. Instead of having to tell their kids any dad jokes, they’ll simply be able to lift up their shirts and the cringey humor will be right there for everyone to behold.
He Turned his Girlfriend into a Demon
Here’s a piece of advice if you’re ever thinking about getting a tattoo of your girlfriend: DON’T DO IT! Instead of a pretty picture of his partner’s smiling face, this guy ended up getting a tattoo of a demon from the pits of hell. This looks a whole lot more like something from our deepest nightmares than a lovely lady.
He Turned his Girlfriend into a Demon
Surely she could not have been flattered by the way she was depicted by the tattoo artist, and she’s probably totally embarrassed that her boyfriend will have this ugly image on his arm forever. After she saw it she probably started calling every tattoo removal place in town. Having him keep that thing on his body was just not an option!
Giving Us Some Creepy Possessive Vibes
These two really have to hold their arms at a weird angle for their tattoos to make sense. It’s not as simple as holding hands or even standing side by side, they need to press their arms up against each other for the sentence to be complete. The crazy part is that these sentences would’ve looked pretty okay if they were a straight line.
Giving Us Some Creepy Possessive Vibes
We’re not sure why they decided to make the design so much more complicated. Not to mention, the message is a little bit possessive, “You are mine,” is a creepy way of saying that another person is committed to you. Someone check on this girl and make sure she’s not being held against her will!
Opening Doors in the Dark
Here’s a pretty classic couple’s tattoo with a terrible twist. A lock and key to symbolize the connection of two people is nothing new, but the text these two have chosen to go along with it doesn’t make much sense. The sentence reads “I’ll follow you into the dark”, that’s a nice enough idea but what the heck does it have to do with a lock and key?
Opening Doors in the Dark
If it’s dark then they’re going to have a hard time figuring out how to unlock that door! But maybe if they have each other then it doesn’t matter if it’s dark, because together they’ll be able to unlock it? We think we may be reading too far into this, it’s probably just a poorly thought out tattoo.
Two Pieces that Don’t Quite Go Together
Once again, the puzzle piece couple’s tattoo cliche graces this list. And then once again the tattoos don’t really make any sense. Clearly, these two don’t REALLY complete each other, in fact, we don’t even think these two pieces even really match up. They’re both corner pieces! Maybe that’s why she’s stepping on his foot, she’s mad that he screwed up their tattoos.
Two Pieces that Don’t Quite Go Together
Maybe they’re a part of the same puzzle, but they couldn’t possibly be connected in it. Maybe these two aren’t that familiar with doing puzzles. If you were actually trying to put one together you’d know right away that these two don’t go together. Maybe they should’ve consulted someone a little more familiar with how puzzles work before getting this inked.
A Confusing Message Trying to Sound Deep
We’ve read these two statements over and over again trying to understand what they might have meant but the more we read them the less they make sense. Maybe they should have hired a professional poet to pen the words they wanted to imprint on their skin forever and ever? Now they’re stuck with a couple of confusing cliches until they can save up for laser tattoo removal.
A Confusing Message Trying to Sound Deep
“I swear to you on everything I am”, sounds like she’s trying to convince him that she’s who she says she is, a little defensive but okay. “I dedicate to you all that I love”, is he handing over to her everything that makes him happy on this earth? Well, damn dude, that sucks.
Not a Flattering Picture of You and Your Beau
There’s really no clearer way to say “I’m in a relationship” than having you and your honey’s faces tattooed on your body. The message might be totally obvious, but the way it looks could not be more of an eyesore. You would think that these two are half goblin by the way they’re depicted on this guy’s chest. Definitely not a flattering image of either of them.
Not a Flattering Picture of You and Your Beau
We’re sure these two are a lovely couple in real life, but photo-realistic faces rarely look good in tattoo ink. In order for a design like this to work, you have to go to an absolute pro, which we guess was not the case when this guy arrived at the tattoo parlor.
Oh? Is That All You Want to Say?
There’s only one word we would use to describe this relationship: oh. We guess these two must be pretty indifferent about the existence of one another if this was the most romantic word they could find to tattoo on themselves. Maybe they were going through some kind of rift in their relationship and figured that this would be the best way to symbolize that.
Oh? Is That All You Want to Say?
But do you really want “Oh.” to be the word that describes the way you feel about the love of your life? What about “Wow!” or “Yay!”, something with an exclamation point instead of a boring old period. We hope this couple sees some more exciting days with each other soon, and maybe they’ll consider removing those tattoos.
That’s Not How Pac Man Works…
These two must be really big fans of arcade games, specifically Pac Man. They might be enthusiastic about these old school games, but we’re starting to doubt if they’ve ever actually played this one. If they had, they would know that the game doesn’t work by having Pac Man barf into Mrs. Pac Man’s mouth. In fact, it’s a bit of a gross image.
That’s Not How Pac Man Works…
For a change, these tattoos look better separately than they do put together. Maybe these are ideal if they ever break up, but as a couple’s tattoo, it looks pretty gross. We wonder if they’ll have any shocking revelations about the game the next time they walk into an arcade, maybe then they’ll figure out how wrong they got it.
A Love Story from Hell
Nothing quite says I love you (and also Satan) more than getting matching flaming pentagram tattoos. This must be some kind of non-monogamous three-way relationship between her, him, and the devil. This rebellious couple may or may not have met at Hot Topic, but regardless they’ve made a huge step into their relationship with this new ink. We’re guessing that neither of their mothers approves of it.
A Love Story from Hell
Once they reach the age of 21 they might be old enough to regret getting this inked on their feet. This is more the type of symbol you find on an indie band t-shirt, and not on a human foot. Come what may, they will always have this satanic symbol to show the world just how much they love each other.
