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.

The Most Perfect, Wonderful Tattoo Cover-Up That Has Ever Existed
A cover-up without covering up. On Windows it would throw an error "task failed successfully" 🙃
It's a rework not a cover up that's why the previous tattoo is still visible

Do you like cats or pizza better? Whoever has that tattoo: Yes.
This reminds me of my dad's tattoo of a tater tot. Yes, he did it for a dare.
Reminds me of the meme with the caption of the cat saying they just found out what lesbians eat so they've decided to be pizza 😂😂
I just left same comment! Glad I'm not alone in understanding this!
Load More Replies...I saw this on a meme involving lesbian humor. I believe the Facebook page was Leslie the Lesbian. The cat disguised itself as pizza because he heard his owners liked to eat.....well, not pizza.

They Thought It Said "You Will Forever Be In My Heart". As An Irish Man, I Can Confirm It Actually Says "Do I Have Permission To Go To The Bathroom"
One swift Google would have double checked this! Agam means have, there is no alternative meaning , oh dear me 🤣🤣🤣
Per Google: Top 2 words = Raw Blood, Middle = I have permission to go there, Bottom: to the toilet.
Load More Replies...Oh, that’s mean! I sincerely hope the wearer got a good laugh out of it, in retrospect…
Just having flashbacks in school every time you needed to use the bathroom you had to raise your hand and say an bhfiul cead again dul go DTI an leithreas. Mad times 😜
Actually this means "can I please go to leitrim" which is a county in Ireland. That's according to my BIL, is actually from Ireland.
Nope, he's pulling your leg. It literally translates as "Is there permission for me to go to the latrine". It is the standard request made to the teacher by a pupil in an Irish language primary schools when that pupil needs to go to the toilet. Someone played a cruel joke on the unfortunate person who's been tattooed.

He becomes better at fending off other males who try to mate with her, because his now-lightened body can fight for longer without tiring. And while he’s playing the guardian, his detached genitals can continue pumping sperm into the female.

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

10 Years Of Shame Later
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 😁
Just needs some touch ups to make it look a little neater/fresher from the fading and it would look good. Not horrible IMO
This is why you have to sign a waiver stating you are not under the influence of anything and are in a sound state of mind when getting a tattoo (legally) here.
The worst of these were done by beginners at home. In some cases it looks like with a homemade tattoo gun. A lot of these are actually beautiful and well done. I have some far from perfect tattoos but at this point getting something clean and fine line by a true artist will mess with the overall aesthetic.
