People Online Found 20 Tattoo Designs That Scream, “I’m Not Creative!”

It’s exciting to think about getting a new tattoo, but you usually need to plan and study. Most of the time, the person getting the tattoo already knows what message they want to share with the world. Some people get tattoos that show how much they love their family, like “I Love My Mom,” while others get tattoos that show what they believe in, like “Live, Laugh, Love.”

Many people say that getting a tattoo is a personal choice that shows who they are, so the message should only matter to them. But some people think some tattoo patterns have been hacked and used too much. So, what tattoos belong in this group? Scroll down to see some of the most popular tattoos that people on the subreddit r/AskReddit thought might cause regrets in the future because they weren’t very original.

When I was 17, I really wanted to be a marine scientist, so I got a dolphin tattoo on my calf. I work in medicine, and it doesn’t help me at all now.

An ex boss had his own name in Olde English script down the inside of his forearm. I’d been working with him for months before I saw it, the conversation went as such.

‘What’s that?’

‘A tattoo.’

‘Well yeah, but what does it say?’

‘Darren.’

‘Why have you got your own name tattooed on you?’

‘I wanted a tattoo for years, so my wife bought me one for my 40th.’

‘And that’s what you came up with after 40 years?’

Needless to say, I was fired soon afterwards.

I knew a girl who got “throw me to the wolfs and I will come back leading the pack” in massive writing on her thigh… wolfs.

A friend told me that she got a tattoo. We live in Tennessee, so I joked, “Is it a skull with a rebel flag that says “Don’t tread on me” somewhere?” He showed me by lifting his sleeve and saying, “Yes, it is.”

I’m a tattoo artist, For me it’s three types of people.
1. The ones who are getting them only because it’s a current trend. They always come back wanting it covered or wanting it lasered off.
2. The ones who bring me something directly off Pinterest. And have 0 interest in letting me design it my way. I actually tell these people I’m not interested and direct them to another artist. That only happens every once in a while now.
3. Patriotic tattoos. Cornbread dudes walk in the shop wanting a battle flag and a 3% logo. I either try to talk them out of it or tell them I’m not doing it. Regardless of how much money it’d make me.
There is many more I could go on about but those 3 stick out the most. Everyone has opinions these are just mine

Half of the boys in the UK have a tattoo of a lion, clock, or rose. I agree that your body, your rules, but come on, man, put at least an ounce of thought into it.

The Council Cabbage. The owners always insist it’s meant to be a rose.

I’ve been told that mine isn’t creative.

It’s about the size of my hand and lies between my shoulder blades. I got it for my 50th birthday to remember the nickname my Opa gave me when I was a child. I still miss him every day, even though he’s been gone for 29 years.

I’ve been told that the next one will be just as boring. A pomegranate with only six seeds and the name and birth date of my granddaughter. Her name is Korra, which is a name for Persephone that means “heart” in Greek.

I don’t mind being called “boring.” I write with my ink.
