While it's odd that so many people opt for accoutrements that are not only incredibly painful to get, but notoriously difficult (and expensive) to remove, the tattoo industry is a booming one. Every day, we see people adorned with beautiful and meaningful images and words, but it's evident that they did their research, and paid a substantial amount of money for the honour. However, with every one good tattoo come several others which are just dreadful. Whether it's a badly drawn figure or a noticeable typo, one thing is for certain: their owners have serious regrets.

Here are 16 of the worst...

1. This is supposed to be a "constellation" of stars 2. They never did say that imitation pays off..  3. What an image, eh 4. Not Nickelback! 5. He has to look after many families...  6. Oh dear 7. What should I even focus on?  8. Well, they're definitely not going to regret this later... 9. Well, this certainly makes an impression... 10. There's no need to tell everyone 11. Oops 12. That's one way to remember your food preferences 13. Ah.  14. Lovely.  15. Jesus, please take the wheel  16. I have no words

Well, there you have it. You're certainly doing well in life if you haven't wasted your hard-earned cash on tattoos as terrible as these.
