Tattoos are perhaps one of the most interesting body-modification processes available considering the history of tattoos is thousands of years old, and that in the hands of a talented artist the human body can become a beautiful canvas. Tattoos can be discreet or in-your-face; deeply introspective or light and whimsical.

Apparently, they can also stir up the mouth-breathingest denizens of humanity that ever mashed their meat-paws against a keyboard.

Asylum.com provides access, in this case, to a slideshow of the “worst tattoos ever”.

Here is the first comment on that slideshow:

those have got to be the most stupidest corniest bunch of retards with tatoos i have ever seen

Believe it or not, this is the highest level of civility the comment thread produces.

If a person wants a tat, fine that be his or her choice.

Oh, well I guess that wasn’t too… what? He had more to say?

Personally i think it is a big waste of money and a potential threat of infection. When a person gets older (a lot older) and things begin to SAG; or you go for that job that you always wanted;etc,etc,etc When my son got his first one he told me this ” but i got it where no one could see it” really proud of that one ( $159.00) I just think they are a stupid wast of hard earned money

Wow. That was fast. From “zero” to “crotchety old bastard” in one sentence!

It’s a good thing there’s an available member of the tattooing community to upbraid him.

thats your opinion your obviously a very closed minded tight wad , tattoos are more than just a waste of money

Sure. They’re a great source of Hepatitis C, too!

if you had any idea as to how much time,dedication, and skill that goes into being a professional tattoo artist, you would feel a little more respect, and appreciation for the ARTFORM! its not just for scumbags and sailors anymore pal

But really, up until this point, things have been positively congenial. After this things quickly degrade into what amounts to an internet slap-fight.

THERE NOT TATTO’S THERE TRAP STAMPS

All caps? Check. Spelling errors? Check. Even spelled “tattoo” incorrectly? Check. Obnoxious opinion no one asked for? Check. Congratulations, we have Internet!

It is not only awaste of money, but most of those guys are NOT artists, they are want to be artists. And besides, if God would have wanted us destroying something he had made, he would have covered us all in junk like that, let alone all the stupid canabalistic nose rings, tongue rings, and other unmentinable places that these people place them for thier self identification. Those things are absolutely disgusting, and show me nothing but perversions of offending God.

Uh oh. Some sanctimonious prude said “God” on the internet, thus blowing the “Douchebag Atheist” dog-whistle.

You may have one of the stupidest opinions I have ever heard on the internet, and the internet is a pretty damn big place.
… paragraphs and paragraphs of being an overbearing ass…
Lastly, I do not believe in all this God talk, but I am trying to help you better understand the God you think you know. I’m not saying that some tattoos are offensive, but a lot of people who get them do so to commemorate something very influential and important in their lives.

If I live for 10,000 years, I doubt I’ll ever read anything more obnoxious than “I am trying to help you better understand the God you think you know”. Oh, wait, the comments continue? I guess I don’t need to live that long.

Where in the h**l did they come up with those designs? Someone was obviously on something to make those designs so ugly. What a waste of money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, if one exclamation point means I’m excited about something, certainly 20 mean that I’m really excited!

I’m now operating under the policy that people who use extra exclamation points, commas, periods, et cetera should be sterilized.

I SAW A WOMAN WITH A ….W …..PRINTED ON EACG SIDE OF HER BUTT. wHEN SHE STOOD ON HER HEAD IT SPELLED ””””””””””””” M O M

See what I mean? An almost decent joke that is, shockingly, relevant to the topic at hand, and it’s completely ruined by an incomprehensible use of punctuation. However, it might have been enough to get the comments back on topic. Let’s check:

To each his own but don’t make me look at it. Keep your shirt on. Wear sleeves. Don’t put that crap in my face. I don’t like it.

Ah yes, the old, “I don’t want to see it” argument. A favorite of racists and homophobes with extremely delicate sensibilities everywhere.

I really don’t know why anyone would pay to scar themselves like these people did! I know people who have birth marks that cannot be removed, who would give anything to not have the birth mark! I have friends who got tattoos, who now say it was the dumbest thing they ever did. They are paying thousands of SSS’s to get them removed. $159.00 to put it on and $5,000.00 to get it removed? I will not hire anyone to work for me who has a tattoo. I am not running a circus, I am running a business!

I didn’t realize that SSSs were legal tender. Also, I don’t know what country’s currency that is.

I have a tattoo and I love it….I have a bubblegum collection…so I went and had a bubblegum machine tattooed on my stomach…left side of my belly button…it turned out great…worth the money I spent…and by the way…I am a girl…not a guy…didn’t want you to think it was so guy getting a bubblegum machine tat.

Yes, because men HATE bubblegum!

umm….thats pretty muich the grossest tatto evr!!! i meen the one wit da skull think with the teeth…yeah EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW gawwsh get a life ppl!!!!!!!!!!

Get a life, indeed.

Aren’t you glad you decided to see what people thought of the ridiculously bad tattoos? Looking at comments is like going on a treasure hunt where all you find are punches in the genitals.
