I made r/tattooididntlike so we can actually see shitty tattoos here not just ones people don’t like. The shitty tattoo was found on google because I couldn’t do a text only post.
I was going to say that looks like they used infected staph blood as the fucking ink.
Your comment made my morning, I laughed out loud at this 😂😂😂
I’m glad 🙂
Oh my god, that poor person!! They better be taking that photo at urgent care 🫣🫣
That wound is way past urgent care. Better get to the ER to get admitted. That is getting close to requiring amputation
jfc seriously?? that's do horrifying cuz it doesn't look that bad (to my untrained eye)
It's pretty blurry, I'm sure with a quick Google you could find a better image but:
-severe discoloration around the tat
-the open wound with recessed scabbing is a major red flag
Edit: graphic but clearer
If I remember correctly, the deeper an infection gets, the faster it spreads and the harder it is to beat it. "Infections can reach bones by traveling through the bloodstream or spreading from nearby tissue. Treatment is usually surgery to remove portions of bone that have died." So, middle of your arm or leg = amputation
This shit is leading to sepsis quick!
Horrible! Guess I won't be getting any garage tattoos anytime soon...
The flesh is rotting (necrosis). You can see the skin gapping and is red around the edges. Infection has set into the entire area. Creating a valley of dying skin that has broken through to the muscle below. The bacteria will begin to travel underneath the skin between the muscle and skin. If antibiotics don’t stop the infection it will spread (think days). The only way to stop the bacteria from moving towards the body or into the blood system is to amputate.
That entire tattooed area is infected. This is a very serious condition. I wonder what has happened to this person. Massive scarring at best.
thank you so much for typing that out. wow. how absolutely horrifying.
I feel so bad for this person. :(
You are welcome. Just trying to help the world out a bit.
It really is a nasty infection. If you ever cut yourself and you see lots of Red skin along the edges a couple of days later you are past using a topical cream from the drug store. If you see streaks of Red heading away from the wound like starlight. Get yourself to the ER. Those streaks are bacteria in the blood vessels. That will development into gangrene in a short time. Large infections are not to be taken lightly.
thank you so much.
Hope that’s the last time they try to tattoo with a knife and spray pint
Is that….necrosis?
I think it's old Mongolian scripture, but if not it could also be Arabic.
Edit: it's definitely Mongolian. Source, my family member who can read old Mongolian scripture. It says "malchin" or "malduchin", which means farmer/herder, or it could be someone's name.
It’s not arabic. It’s Assyrian.
It’s not Assyrian. It’s definitely Mongolian script. Mongolian script is derived from Assyrian, so it’s easy to confuse the two
Mongolian script is derived from Assyrian
I was gonna call bullshit, but damn, you're close. Not exact, but close.
Traditional Mongolian is written vertically from top to bottom, flowing in lines from left to right. The Old Uyghur script and its descendants, of which traditional Mongolian is one among Oirat Clear, Manchu, and Buryat are the only known vertical scripts written from left to right. This developed because the Uyghurs rotated their Sogdian-derived script, originally written right to left, 90 degrees counterclockwise to emulate Chinese writing, but without changing the relative orientation of the letters.
Sogdian? Whats that?
The Sogdian alphabet was originally used for the Sogdian language, a language in the Iranian family used by the people of Sogdia.[1] The alphabet is derived from Syriac, a descendant script of the Aramaic alphabet.
It was also adopted by other peoples as their own alphabet when empires and their subjects underwent linguistic Aramaization during a language shift for governing purposes—a precursor to Arabization centuries later—including among Assyrians who permanently replaced their Akkadian language and its cuneiform script with Aramaic and its script.
Hmmmm. But Mongolian script is vertically written, no? The tattoo seems to be have done in horizontal. (Considering how the picture was taken)
Yes it is vertically written, but maybe the person who got it didn’t really care about taking the picture vertically, or maybe they don’t even know it’s supposed to be vertical.
All I know is that the letters match up with Mongolian. I can read Assyrian and I can tell you for sure it’s not Assyrian
Ah. That makes sense now. Cool of you to be able to read Assyrian.
It’s not Assyrian. It’s just plain Ass.
I love that world

🌎Welcome to Necrosis World 🌎
They use a steak knife? Also kudos in setting up quarantine for the assholes.
Not just any knife, TOE knife.
Don't tell me you have a different knife for tattooing and for dealing with toe issues?
Shit dude, they have poop knife…toe knife isn’t so far fetched
Pretty sure they used the poop knife for this one
Always sunny reference?
Oui.
Botched another one!
Quick, gimme some trash to plug it.
Not just toe knife, poop knife!
Botched job!
I’m bleedin like a stuck pig.
Plug it with a piece of trash
I’ll get you a candy bar wrapper if you give me a second
Nah, with how infected it was, he definitely used his poop knife
I have a tattoo on my thumb that looked like that. After an ER visit and a gnarly ass scar, I got my money back and the artist was fired.
Saying that is shitty is like saying it was a little windy when hurricane Catrina struck. This borders on botchedsurgery
About time there is an actual shitty tattoo. Most post on here are just tattoos people don't like, but this one fits.
And it's so annoying how that's all that gets posted most of the time. Not liking it doesn't make it bad/shitty ffs.
It looks like they poured ink into a wound and called it a tattoo 💀
May want to put a few posts in there so randoms know it's real.
I’m a big fan of the premise! But I feel like we as a sub need to come up with a more catchy name to encourage people to use it.
All I’ve got is something like r/uglyink, r/uggarootattoo, r/rethinkthatink, or r/regertabletattoos. I’m clearly no sub-naming mastermind though.
Any creatives out there?
rethink that ink is a catchy one! so is ugly ink
big fan of uglyink
regertable is my favorite
Ugh I can smell this photo
Serious question: what’s it smell like? I’m a little afraid of the answer.
Death. Like death and decay. If you've never smelled it, I envy you. But rotting flesh is such an unforgettable smell. It's pungent and sticks to everything. 0/10 do not recommend.
I've had rodents die in our walls, so I know what rotting meat smells like in all of its stages (and you can tell before it smells because of all the damn flies that appear all of a sudden). Is it like that, or is there some other.. pus odor on top of it?
Never smelled a rotting rodent, but I imagine it's similar? It's kind of a sour rotting meat smell... and yeah, pus odor, too. hurk
The pus adds a sweetness to the rot that is stomach-churning
Jesus. I have around 10 tattoos and I’ve never heard of this. Good god. I appreciate your taking the time to answer.
That's good you've never experienced it! I hope you never do. Thankfully never had it with any of mine. But I've been around people with skin infections and rotting wounds (nursing homes, hospitals, etc) and it's extremely unpleasant.
Yeah, don't screw around if you think one is turning on you. I know of someone that got MRSA from a basement scratcher and lost the arm.
That’s not a tattoo, that’s a tragedy
This ain’t a scene it’s a goddamn arms race
I saw this abomination ages ago, I remember someone telling me this was done at DragonFX in West Edmonton Mall. At the time I thought it was gospel, but now that im older I wonder if someone just found it online and thought it would be funny to scare business away from that company.
I wouldnt trust a tattoo shop inside of a mall, anyways.
Right? I have someone on my fb who owns the tattoo shop in the mall. I went in for a nose piercing first of all it was $50 which is ridiculous. I also looked through their books and was not impressed. Meh idk how these people are successful. Plus is a women in her 40’s and had her young bf in his 20’s working there with her.
Kinda like if Claire's opened a tattoo shop.
Nothing says staph infection like weepy green pus oozing from a tattoo.
Oh my Jesus fucking christ, my eyes!! My eyes are burning (probably less than this arm though)
Yeah...that arm gone 💀
That's not just shitty that's infected like a mother fucker
How do you even screw it up that bad? I would not have recognized this as a tattoo.
Jesus, was this from a cauterizing pen?
Halfway between a tattoo and a carving
Hey, small request - is there any chance the sub could have a guideline to spoiler images with open wounds and infections oozing pus? I actually don’t mind looking at them once I’m prepared, but I get a bit of a jolt just randomly scrolling and seeing them.
I understand if the general consensus is against spoilers, though; not gonna make a big fuss about it or ask to see the manager :)
Anybody else smell almonds?
Damnnn I know that shit hurt. Looks like they dragged the needle
Bro I thought this was like a burn 😭😭😭😭 that makes my body want to turn inside out
Oh sweet Satan that’s fucking bad
Antibiotics…
Looking at this hurts.
Hospital! Hurry!
You need to create r/tattoopreamputation for shit like this.
this scares me
I can feel it stinging...
Did their tattoo artist use a fucking knife or some shit
Bless up for the new thread. Also, gross.
God I know people are idiots but that doesn’t mean that I wish pain and suffering on them. I feel really terrible for this idiot in particular and I hope that they’re at the doctor getting treatment because that looks excruciating.
aramaic script?

Geezus
I always thought this was a brand when I was young. I think this pic is about 15 years old or so, maybe more.
Oh my god! You may need to cut this out and get skin from your butt.
Sepsis incoming!
Jesus I can practically see bone
I dig it…chunks out of your skin that is
Ya dude I’m so sick of ppl posting pictures of GREAT tattoos, but it’s just a style they don’t like- that’s not a shitty tattoo, that’s just a tattoo you don’t like 💀
there’s already a sub for that r/atbge
Nah, atbge requires great execution. Most of the tattoos people post here aren't executed great enough for that sub but are just mediocre tattoos with a subject matter OP doesn't like.
gods work
OW...
I need to see more of these! Please post ppl. I’m into horror.
This person is obviously dead now.
MRSA enters the chat
Looks like a wound
Things i would not lick
Thanks for the snort!

does this count as a wound as well as a tattoo?
Is that a tattoo on a scar? I’ve seen that before on a guy with a bad scar on his torso, it didn’t look so bad.
No it’s a tattoo that’s been badly chewed up by the “artist” and now it’s infected. Scar coverups are pretty common and usually work really well, just go to someone with experience.
I can’t imagine the pain.
What the hell is this supposed to be? 😂
oh my god that looks so painful
