29 Hilariously Awful Face Tattoos. What Were They Thinking?

Do you kiss your mom with that face?

Face tattoos aren’t the end of the world anymore. Back in the old days, any visible tattoos were pretty much a gateway to life-long unemployment and endless judgement from humanity. Today, even the most wholesome people can walk around with their butterfly tattoos and their dainty bird tattoos and their inspirational book quote tattoos and not only not be rejected or judged, but be celebrated. Body art is real art now. Well, as long as it’s a good tattoo. The face — now that’s another story. It’s still a pretty controversial place to get inked, even though acceptance is growing by leaps and bounds. It used to be that if you had a face tattoo, your life options were limited to the klink or the hustle. Nowadays, you can even see basic white girls at Coachella with dream catchers permanently etched beside their ears. Nobody in your life (unless you hang out with really rad people or folks who work in tattoo shops) will tell you that you should get a face tattoo. In fact, if you’re going to get one, you should maybe not tell anyone because they’ll do their best to talk you out of it. That’s because there are still some people who believe there are no good face tattoos. I can’t speak for everyone, but I can say there are no good face tattoos on this list. Only terribly trashy ones.
