11 inky blunders: The hall of fame for worst tattoo ideas ever!

Just couldn’t stop laughing at this page on startlingly crazy tattoo designs from Glamour UK’s October issue. Surprisingly, I have actually seen four of these proudly displayed on real, living human beings.

    Haha, I thought the downloading one is actually funny. But what if there is no more buffering in the future?
    The dumbest one I have seen was meant to be “Hakuna Matata” (from Disney’s The Lion King) in Swahili Symbols. She got it as a celebration of graduating from college. I couldn’t help being a smartass and telling her that there is no such thing as Swahili Symbols, which I regret, because she could probably have lived happily with it forever more.
    A little research on the internet (really I just googled the words “Hakuna Matata Swahili Symbols”) showed that the symbol stems from a Korean RomCom, where it was supposed to mean Hakuna Matata. Still makes you look a bit silly, but at least you could look like you chose the symbol nontheless or even because of the movie.
    Everyone, research your tatoos. I thought you learned that in college, if nothing else.

      Who the fuck cares! it looks cool and if they really do care about more of the meaning than the symbol then they won’t care about whether it’s fake or not. it’s well known now so might as well be the symbol for it. duh!

        I agree. It still means no worries so who the hell cares about you thinking it looks silly. What is silly is your care about what another person decided to put on their bodies. Worry about yourselves, idiots!

          How does it mean no worries? It literally means nothing. I am from Kenya and can tell you that nobody has any idea what that is or what it means…

            “No worries” in English translates to “Hakuna matata” in Swahili

    It means whatever the person wants. If the original symbol means nothing, and so many people relate it with “Hakuna Matata”, what is the problem? Let them be happy. Hakuna Matata.

      Well I have it behind my ear and the symbol looks cool so who cares; like everyone get tattoos for the meaning these days. It looks like someone dancing and when I’m dancing I have no worries so I interpret it as Hakuna Matata. Also if you’re a 90’s baby you practically were raised on the Lion King so why does it matter. Tattoos mean whatever that person want it to mean. Like is life really that serious to cynical about a tattoo?

    We can’t decide which tattoo design are the worst or which one is the best. What is the scale? We all have different styles or different likes

    I understand all sides of this argument and all points are valid I feel! But I’m dying laughing @the truth from the person r r Kenya saying that No its actually not known anywhere on that continent and well just the phrasing of it made me laugh and smile!
