What is the worst tattoo you have ever seen?

I own a tattoo shop and I see a lot of funky tattoos. I'm just wondering what other people have seen out there. I do believe that there is a huge difference between a bad tattoo (poorly executed) and a skillful rendition of a hideous picture. I'd love to see pictures if you have them...

"SEXY" on the stomach of this one chick. Problem was, her face was riddle with all sorts of acne and she was obese. I'm surprised she could even walk =/. I'm betting getting a tattoo in that area with that much blubber oughta be easy, so maybe thats why the 'sexy' is so big. Either that or it was small and it expanded when she did.

I've seen quite a few bad tattoos, especially living in southern Illinois, where a lot of the tattoos you saw were either done in someone's basement or had way too much sun damage. I think those are probably the worst ones--the ones where they have been so faded by the sun that it doesn't even matter if the original artist was a genius. Sun faded tattoos always look bad to me.

You should just head over to www.inkednation.com and check out the forums there. They have some incredibly awful ink but a great deal of awesome art too. Too many people just go to the shop closest to them and don't take the time to actually research shops and artists.
