What Happens When Tattoo Artists Really Screw Up?

Tattoos are for the most part a pretty permanent decision, but what happens when your tat gets screwed up?

Tattoos are known for being a pretty much permanent decision. Once you get it, it’s there forever unless you go through a painful and expensive tattoo removal process. So, naturally, the worst thing that could happen is screwing up the tattoo. But which part is the worse end of the stick? Being the one who had the bad tattoo put on them, or the artist who did the bad tattoo? These Reddit users told their stories of some pretty bad tattoo situations that they got into, and some of them will surprise you!
