Tattoos That Will Make Your Skin Crawl
Rad or revolting?
Letting your dark side out
I love horror films. Even the bad ones with poor special effects. But seeing lots of blood and gore IRL makes me really upset. Once I saw a grossly disfigured body on the highway and started crying. Suffice it to say I’m conflicted with people get realistic tattoos that are cringe worthy. They are indeed awesome, but if I had one I’d probably try to brush it off all the time. I’ll sick my cute food tats, thanks.
