Funny Tattoos to Take Your Mind Off of Everything

Who needs a laugh right now?

To paraphrase from one of the finest pieces of art ever to have been created, “Bad Boys 2,” shit just got real. After the first wave of bars and restaurants to close, many other businesses, including tattoo shops, have now been ordered to shut down across the country. California is calling for all 40 million residents to shelter in place. Lots of people are losing their jobs and many of the rest of us are working from home for the first time in our lives. There is a ton of uncertainty with every aspect of life right now. To put things mildly, we really need to be able to tune out and have a laugh right now. 

Inked is here for you with some silly tattoos that will hopefully make you giggle. Perhaps, one or two of these tattoos might even elicit a guffaw. 

There’s no rhyme or reason to this collection of tattoos, other than the fact that each one of them made us smile. Some remind us of our favorite cartoons or movies. Others are just delightfully weird. There may even be a pun or two thrown in there because, no matter what some of my coworkers may think, dad jokes rule. 

Enjoy this gallery of weird and funny tattoos. Let it take your mind off of things for a while. Stay away from the news for a couple of minutes. None of us want to end up going Jack Torrance on everyone we live with. 

Stay safe, friends.

..I’m currently away in japan for a bit… then back in hong kong for a few days… so here’s the thing… I was supposed to be coming back to Australia in January (Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane and sydney again)… however due to the devastating fires that are currently going off, travel in, out and around is not looking reliable and safe, and there are more important things to deal with and better ways for me to help my friends and the animals that are currently being hurt by this epic shit show of nature (made so much fucking worse by humans fucking up the world and ignoring fucking climate change)… I’m going to be heading back to the uk in january, and over the next few days will be setting up a massive mother fucking big ass fund raiser and will be giving away tattoos, t-shirts, posters, prints, and anything else I can find to people who donate…. a competition where you win by being a rad person… but also by being picked at random… like a karma raffle… more info on that coming soon I guess… I’m so so sorry to every person, every animal and every thing that has been and is being affected by this shit. I’m so sorry I’m breaking my promise and not coming back in january. I will be aiming to come back later in the year. I’m so heartbroken to see what’s happening to your country and will do whatever I can to help. Stay safe, help animals, be kind – – (bookings for when I’m back in brighton at @deadslowco will be open soon and done through MRHEGGIESUCKS@GMAIL.COM – also this obviously means the MRHEGGIE.COM store will be reopening again, with new shit and restocked junk too) – MRHEGGIE.COM – #mrheggie #onlyblackart #blackworkerssubmission #blxckink #darkartists #blacktattooart #wtt #dogstuff #dogsforever #boysfornever #dogsforeverboysfornever – MRHEGGIE.COM

You want love? We’ll make it, Swim in a deep sea, Of blankets. Take all your big plans, And break ’em. This is bound to be a while. . Your body is a wonderland… . Listen. I’m sorry that i posted John Mayer lyrics. But he’s the only who could possibly capture the raw sensuality of this tattoo. I genuinely had the time of my life finally getting to make a reverse mermaid! I spent the whole day addressing the pressing questions of mammalian anatomy on an fish-based organism. It’s definitely the most I’ve mentioned “fish-tits” in a 5 hour period. I think. This is on the awesome Rick done at the beautiful @tattoothelou on Sunday! Thanks for being so up for anything Rick! And thanks to @tattoothelou for such a great show! #fishtits #reversemermaid #sexysushi #sheshooked . . . @helheimgallery #helheimgallery @9threalmgallery #9threalmgallery #salem #salemma @inkmaster #inkmaster #inkmasterseason8 @quickcaps #quickcaps @kingpintattoosupply #kingpintattoosupply @heliostattoo #heliostattooneedles @truetubes #truegrips @eternalink #eternalink @saniderm #saniderm @redemptiontattoocare #redemptiontattoocare @stencilstuff #stencilstuff @fkirons #fkirons @inkedmag #inkedmag @inkmasterangels #inkmasterangels
