If you are going to suffer the pain of getting tattooed, you might as well get a funny tattoo at the end. When the pain wears off, this piece of art will stay on your skin for a very long time. Good jokes can survive for ages, and funny tattoos always win in the long run. The ideas for these tattoos stem from multiple sources — some are personal, and others are more publicly known.

Funny tattoo ideas are only funny if the person getting them finds them hilarious. Sometimes, humor can come from the basics of things. The most simple funny tattoos come to reality when there is an inside joke to be told. For example, if you have lactose intolerance, a dairy product can be used in the design. Funny and creative tattoos combine personal elements into it. If it's personal, high chances are it will be funny.

Since there are a lot of humor-filled and creative tattoo ideas floating around the internet, we have compiled some of the best ones in the list below. Some are accidentally funny — others are intentional. If you found some of the cool tattoos below funny, upvote them. On the other hand, if you have a funny and cool tattoo of your own, share it through a comment below.

    My wife had a scar like that running the entire length of her back. Whilst wearing an open-backed swimming costume, one of the little children she was minding asked "is it a zip". Would love to have seen her get a zipper tattooed on the bottom.

    It is exceptionally well renditioned 😊 But why would you want a spoon? Food? Drugs? I've no idea 🤔

    It's like when a pens ink goes funny and blotches everywhere. That could be redone and it would look lovely 😊

    Why is the German flag there? Does the diamond signify something ? I'm very confused as to what this means and why someone would get a tattoo of it

    If you don't get the reference this was a popular rage-face back in 2009-2012 called "Forever Alone" and it was commonly used in rage comics. You can search google for an example of a rage comic.

    Not bad in my opinion. More like early D&D artwork. Zombies do look rough so it works out. I could rock this. I'm guessing you didn't pay much for such a large tattoo. That's how I got caught 😁
