Even celebrities aren’t immune to terrible tattoos, it seems. Let’s be honest, a lot of people like getting tattoos in another language because they think it looks exotic. But when you don’t do your research, it might just be a jumbled mess of meaningless characters. It could be a recipe for disaster!
Lucky for David Beckham, this specific tattoo is fine in terms of proper use of language. The meaning of it, however, sounds a little condescending. Translated to “Life and death are destined by fate, wealth and status are destined by heaven,” it seems to imply that Beckham’s greatness was predetermined.
The Lumps
Those of you who watch the animated show "Adventure Time" probably understand the reference. For the sake of those of you who don't, let us explain: in this cartoon series, which takes place in various locations around the universe, "The Lumps" is a disease that can get anyone who visits the Land of Oooo if they aren't careful enough.
The way to get infected is similar to how one turns into a werewolf or a zombie — you need to get bitten by a space person who has previously been infected. The symptoms aptly include turning lumpy. We wonder if this tattoo means that this person is infected, or, in fact, immune.
Hipster Lickin' Good
For some, Kentucky Fried Chicken is more than just a fast-chicken predilection, it's a lifestyle and a measuring stick for your own successes in life. Because you don't know you've hit rock bottom till you have a Colonel Sanders tattoo. Especially on your leg where almost everyone can see.
We get that people want to express their individuality and people want to show off certain parts of their personality, but the design of this tattoo is so bad, it almost looks like he has tiny arms and legs. Plus the stencil makes it look like Colonel Sanders could be on fire.
Go Ahead and Make Fun of It
We dare you. Tell this world-famous boxer, AKA one of the greatest face-punchers, that his tattoo looks stupid. Tribal tattoos were out long ago, but you know what? Mike Tyson can pull it off. In fact, it looks so good we're going to get one just like it, please don't hurt us.
When Tyson first got his tattoo in 2003, he shocked the world. The tattoo, which consists of a tribal design that covers his left forehead and cheek, quickly became a topic of discussion and controversy. Some people saw the tattoo as a bold and rebellious move, a statement of Tyson's individuality and toughness.
Ratatouille
If you're a fan of the Pixar classic Ratatouille, you might be tempted to get a tattoo inspired by the film. But before you go rushing off to the tattoo parlor, consider the possible consequences. Sure, a tattoo of Remy the Rat cooking up a delicious dish might seem like a cute and quirky idea at first.
But what happens when you're 80 years old and your grandkids are asking you about the strange rodent on your arm? Are you really going to want to explain the entire plot of a movie that came out decades ago? But hey, if you're willing to take the risk, more power to you.
