10+ People Who Got Tattoos That Unfortunately Didn't Stand The Test Of Time

The song "Gangnam Style" absolutely lit up the charts back in 2012 and helped to introduce the world to K-Pop.

Clearly, this person feels as if they owe a huge debt of gratitude to Park Jae-Sing aka Psy.

Even as they were getting inked this Reddit user knew that they would live to regret their decision.

I've got nothing against Pikachu, but if I were going to tattoo one on my body, I'd probably have chosen a Charizard.

Does anyone else remember when we all did the "Harlem Shake"? I was obsessed.

That said, would I get "Harlem Shake" tatted on my ankles? Hard no. But then again, I wouldn't wear two different shoes on my feet either.

My language skills are a little rusty. But if I'm not mistaken, the script roughly translates to "Is that a meaningful tattoo? No, it's Patrick!"

I suppose then that the meaning behind the tat is that there is no meaning at all?

So I guess what this tattoo is trying to say is that SherIockH43 knew right from the get-go what they were getting themself into.

Also, can someone please tell me what is happening with SpongeBob's eyes and why he's bent over like that?

There's so much going on with this tattoo. I suppose the first question is why a rattle-snake? And why ink it on your upper thigh where presumably the majority of people wouldn't be able to see it in order to heed the warning?

For anyone who might've forgotten, Harambe was the gorilla who was tragically euthanized after a small child fell into his enclosure.

I can certainly appreciate the sentiment, but perhaps a sober mindset would have prevailed and stopped this whole thing from happening.

Of all the tattoos on this list, this one is by far my favorite. We've already seen a pleasantly plump Thor in the MCU, so why not a pudgy Bugs Bunny?

I certainly find the character's pear shape to be more relatable.

Well, this is just plain terrifying. I'm not trying to knock the artist's work, but it almost looks as if the tattoo was done with a ballpoint pen and a safety pin.

The anger behind the mask is palpable; you can almost feel it.

The fact that toilet paper was the first thing human beings tried to horde during the pandemic says a lot about us as a species.

I'm one to talk — I'm still buying all my TP in bulk, even to this day.

Have Don Hertzfeldt's "Rejected Cartoons" ever happened to come across your YouTube feed? I swear the cartoons on this Reddit user's arm look almost identical. They're terrifying yet hilarious all at the same time.

This one has me feeling incredibly out of touch. Why don't I remember seeing or hearing about the Coughing Cat meme? Am I alone here, can somebody please fill me in and help me to better understand what the heck I'm even looking at?

I don't care what anyone says, these tattoos are true art. I may not understand the reference or even have any idea as to why the two dogs are talking into a blue/red phone — but I'm a sucker for a puppers.

I had just as much fun as the next person trying to decide whether or not the dress was blue or white and gold. But to go and turn your kneecap into a meme — I just can't condone that.

That whole "the children are our future" argument kind of fell by the wayside as soon as kids started eating laundry detergent.

I can only presume that this is the mark of a survivor of such an event.

I love a good Bernie Sanders meme as much as the next person, and I'll fully admit to spending countless hours combing the internet trying to find my favorites.

That said, I think that this is maybe taking things just a step too far?

With a tattoo like that, how could they ever forget? I don't think anyone would argue that Game of Thrones wasn't the most culturally significant show of the 2010s, but wouldn't a poster have worked just as well?

I can sense the tortured emotion in the face of...whatever that thing is. However, I'm wondering whether or not this tattoo is finished.

Call me crazy, but I think this user had a couple more letters in mind when they originally thought this up.

The Force rules everything around me! You've got to respect Yoda's drip. At over 900 years old, he still knows how to keep it fresh.

I'm an especially big fan of The North Face jacket he has on.

I am admittedly late to the table when it comes to appreciating Rick and Morty, but boy is it ever a good show.

Clearly, this Twitter user has a similar opinion — just far more dedication.

What the heck is it with all of the "Gangnam Style" tattoos? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, here!

I will give the artist credit, however. The likeness is almost identical to that of the music video.

So did this person just give up halfway through, or was this always the way that the final product was designed?

I'm not hating on it, it just feels a little incomplete if I'm being perfectly honest.

Before going any further, let's all take a moment to reflect on what are two truly outstanding tattoos, in terms of artistic quality.

They are, however, huge and in very hard-to-hide spots.

Can someone help me out here — why does the tattoo say AJ inside the house? And why is the house wearing headphones?

Finally, why on earth would this person choose to get tatted on their neck? It makes them look so hard, yet so soft at the same time.

Drake is a meme king and the video for "Hotline Bling" remains as one of his greatest ever.

For me, I prefer my nostalgia in the form of YouTube clips, as opposed to needles and ink.

At first, I thought that these were the lyrics to "Scatman," but I was mistaken.

As it turns out, these are actually lyrics to a song called "Man's Not Hot" by Michael Dapaah aka Big Shaq.

Would it make you feel any better to know that underneath the tattoo of Paris' head reads the script "That's Hot"?

Because it's there, all you have to do is click and take a look for yourself.

I don't know what's worse: the fact that somebody tattooed a face on this man's head or that somebody keeps on agreeing to cut his hair in this ridiculous manner.

What do you think?

I only have one word to say — ouch. I admire the dedication but this must have been beyond painful.

It doesn't help that I also happen to have a paralyzing fear of snakes, so I think I better go before I have a full-blown panic attack.

There's a little Lenny in every Carl and fragments of Carl in every Lenny — what's so hard to understand?

I personally think that this is how the Taoists should depict the yin-yang moving forward.

I wish I could tell you that this was a prank, that those glasses are actually just drawn on with black marker — but I'd be lying to you.

What compels a man to tattoo sunglasses on his face? The world may never know.
