We all make mistakes in life. Luckily, most of them remain in the past and come back only as memories, occasionally visiting us when we lay in bed on a random Tuesday night. Most, but not all of them.

A few can get so woven into our everyday life that there's no escaping them, only accepting. The Instagram account 'Failed Tattoo' is full of such regrets.

Whether it was the idea or the execution, this fun social media project is full of designs that most of us wouldn't want permanently inked on our bodies.

That's kinda funny. I wouldn't get it, but I also wouldn't call that a fail...

Reminds me of that badly taxidermized lion that someone did for the King of Sweden! :)

When you're dyslexic and ask the artist to "do something moody", but you wrote your 'd' backwards.... ;-)

I don't think I would draw attention to the first tattoo by getting a second tattoo like that... XD but it's kinda funny/silly. (Unless he's the guy with "RESPET" on his eyebrow)

I feel so bad for people who want a tattoo of a loved one just to have it turn out so horribly... :(

If they were going for the Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz they are not far off.

That lion's hairline looks like it could use some Rogaine.

I think this will be an entry for a redo criteria in a convention...

She literally posed in front of a step and repeat and was like "Make sure you get my good side!"

Any UK readers as old as me will immediately recognise this as a fine example of a Tefal headed lion. Majestic in its way....

Rod Stewart wouldn't have been so bad, but Google image search thinks it looks more like Harold Shipman!!!

Poor 2Pac... This is horrible all over, but especially his teeth. Tupac was so handsome, and he had gorgeous teeth.

I believe that was done on purpose (I've seen it before several times).

The little stencil looks like this person either drew it or knew exactly what they were getting. Dummy.

This is the sort of tattoo forced upon women by pimps and abusers. It doesn't belong here.

those numbers aren't spaced out evenly. Look how much room is between the 7 and 10.... what?
