The World’s Most Offensive Tattoos
Take a little time to really think about what you're doing before you rush out to grab that coronavirus tattoo.
Here at Inked, we are sometimes prone to hyperbole. That being said, what you are about to see in the gallery below are some of the most offensive tattoos that we’ve ever seen.
Some of these tattoos are offensive because they are making light of tragedies, others are offensive because of the grotesque subject matter. The only category that we’re steering clear of here is race—you don’t need to see a picture of a neo-Nazi with a swastika tattoo to know that they are disgusting human beings. These offensive tattoos are, at the very least, more creative than that.
We’re not sure what compelled people to get the tattoos in this gallery. But hopefully, if nothing else, we can take this as a learning experience. As we are all hunkered down during this pandemic, maybe we should think about the suffering the coronavirus has caused before running about and getting a joke tattoo. When this is all said and done, tens of thousands of people are going to be dead. Maybe getting a funny tattoo about it isn’t the coolest thing to do. Just saying…
But without further adieu, get ready to be offended by the world’s most offensive tattoos.
