20 Tattoos That Will Make You Reach for a Stiff Drink (21 Photos)

Tattoos are supposed to be works of art that stay with a person for a lifetime.





Looking at these pieces, though, you'd think they were done on a lost bet, during a moment of sheer madness, or purely out of a deep love for the absurd. There's a banana man slipping on another banana's peel (Shakespearean drama at its finest!), an Excalibur on someone's back—presumably to pull themselves out of awkward situations—and a Venom that looks like it was drawn blindfolded by a fifth-grader using their off-hand during recess. Scroll through the collection and decide for yourself how best to describe these "masterpieces."
