While we’re all for a serious and meaningful tattoo, we also know that there’s more to life than black-and-grey religious imagery and family portraits. In fact, some of our favorite tattoos on the planet are down right hilarious. We’ve got to hand it to those people who commit to permanent joke tattoos, as they must know deep down that their sense of humor will change with age. But, who cares!

Perhaps the best occasion to ornament your body with a joke tattoo is on the holiday for all hoaxes—April Fools’ Day. This holiday is celebrated throughout the world as an opportunity to play pranks and practical jokes on friends and family. It’s celebrated on April 1st every year and in Odessa, Ukraine it’s an official public holiday called Humorina.
