On what only in our time do not make tattoos. On the neck, arms, legs, genitals, and even the eyeballs. Today we will talk about the worst tattoos people have done on and around their lips.
20. Cupcake
Perhaps for the owner of the tattoo, this word has some kind of sacred meaning. Or, perhaps she chose it by simply jabbing at random into the dictionary. But to endure pain and a certain inconvenience in order to wear the word "cupcake" on your lower lip all your life is somehow silly, don't you think?
19. Rock-n-Roll
This tattoo is spoiled by the fact that its wearer does not look like a rock 'n' roller at all. Of course, the camera could move back, and then we would get a completely different impression of him. But overall, the tattoo doesn't seem to have the effect it should have.
18. Lip contour
A conversation with a tattoo artist before getting one of the worst lip tattoos was probably the following:
Tattoo artist: "What would you like?"
Lady: "I want expressively defined lips."
Tattoo artist: "Not a word more!"
Now this woman will need to wear "vampire" lipstick shades if she wants the tattoo on her lips to go unnoticed. And hope that her lips do not change shape in the coming years, otherwise she will look like a work of Picasso.
17. Numbers
“What do these numbers mean?” Is the first thing you think about when you look at this tattoo. But if these numbers are so important, why not write them down on paper or in a smartphone app? After all, this is the best and less painful option.
16. Antennae
The fact that in order to display this tattoo correctly, you have to literally pull your lip over your nose makes it useless. Sure, it will bring a smile, but wouldn't it be easier to grow a mustache?
15. Medusa
It looks like the jellyfish is running away from the wound to the left. I hope SpongeBob comes to the rescue.
14. Sore lips
Maybe they wouldn't be so sick if the letters were not engraved on them.
13. Ladies love it
I wonder who told this man that ladies like tattoos like this? His girlfriend? Or a clear ill-wisher?
12. Skellington's smile
It only looked good on Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas. And if you are not him, then it is better to give up such a terrible tattoo.
11. Penis
Definitely not the coolest tattoo in the world if all it does is refer to the word "dick".
10. Penis-2
And this owner of not the best tattoo in the world decided not with a word, but with a picture to perpetuate his main value in life.
9. Vegan
Perhaps the only reason for such a tattoo is that the poor fellow cannot speak. And when he comes to a restaurant, he just pulls his lip to be offered a vegetarian menu.
8. Meow
Supermodel Kendall Jenner showed ink on the inside of her lip during her appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2018.
She explained that at the time of getting the tattoo she could not think clearly due to alcohol, and the word "meow" was literally the first thing that came to her mind.
7. Almost done
This woman actually has beautiful lips, and a permanent makeup tattoo would look great ... if the tattoo artist for some reason hadn't decided to stop and leave his work unfinished.
We can only hope that his (or her) client adores red lipstick, because she will only have to apply one color to complete the look.
6. Crying kitten
Even celebrities can have ugly lip tattoos. An example is the singer Miley Cyrus, who pricked a sad kitten on the lower lip with a tear rolling down its cheek.
5. King
One of the most unfortunate lip tattoos looks more like a mustache than an inscription. Perhaps it was intended. Well, if this man does not have his own kingdom, then at least he has something to stand out from the crowd.
4. I love you ... I know
We hope that this couple will live their whole life in love and harmony. Otherwise, the new "second half" will have questions.
3. Pwease
Soy, but no.
2. Rotten
Probably a warning about the quality of his oral hygiene. At least this person is honest.
1. Family traditions
If doing such a tattoo is really a tradition in the family of this person, his commitment to it, despite not the most pleasant procedure for applying a tattoo, is worthy of respect. If not, his family probably disowned him.
Why you shouldn't get lip tattoos
Here are the five most important factors that can reduce the urge to get a lip tattoo.
- The lips are one of the most painful areas to tattoo.
- The risk of infection from lip tattoos is high because bacteria are swarming in the mouth.
- Lip tattoos can only last for a few weeks or months.
- As a consequence of point 3, frequent adjustments to the drawing are required.
- An allergic reaction to tattoo ink can cause swelling or severe pain in the treated area.
In addition, according to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the long-term effects of pigments, and possible contaminants in various tattoo inks are still not fully understood.
The FDA has received reports of bad reactions to tattoo inks that occur immediately after tattooing and even years later. Localized bacterial or bloodborne infections (such as hepatitis B and C) can result from unsterile needles or contaminated ink.
If you decide that the artistic result outweighs the aforementioned risks of lip tattooing, just make sure to have your procedure done in a professional tattoo parlor, by an experienced tattoo artist with many positive reviews. And feel free to ask him to explain his methods of sterilizing instruments and to show you the sterilized equipment.
