Sometimes it blows our minds to see how popular tattoos are. People are covering their bodies with near-indelible inks, not wondering if they'll change their mind, or if the tats will look good later in life. Even worse? That they pay decidedly untalented and unintelligent people to ink these permanent pieces on their bodies. These cringeworthy tattoos may serve as a cautionary tale for anyone who was thinking about getting tatted on a whim. Be very, very careful.

Got an unsightly surgery scar that you wanna jazz up? Bam! Fishbone! We've seen our fair share of really not great tattoos. Bad tattoos are a dime a dozen. But these are flippin' cool. Here are a bunch of clever ways people used tattoos to cover up and repurpose scars and birthmarks into cool looking artwork.
Comedian Elijah Daniel, also the author of an Amazon best selling Donald Trump erotic fiction, told twitter for 5,000 retweets he'd get the graphic image tattooed on his leg and he 100% did. Obviously the graphic tattoo isn't for everyone, but check it out if you want to see Daniel's vision of presumably what he described in his erotic tale, "Trump Temptations: The Billionaire & the Bellboy".
And if that is not tremendous enough for our readers, then perhaps these tremendous Trump memes will help build that wall of solitude around our feelings.
Oh, the humanity! We spend hours and hours trawling the deep corners of the web for fun stuff for you all to gaze upon. Every now and then, however, we come across pics or videos that make us wonder why we bother with this "life" thing at all. Here's some of the content that makes us wish the asteroid would hurry the f*ck up.

FINALLY, you might be able to grab some organic kale and get a tattoo of it right there at the store. It's such a pain to have to carry it all the way to a separate tattoo parlor.
According to USA Today, Whole Foods is launching a "Millennial-focused" branch of stores called Whole Foods 365. The plan is to attract a younger crowd by lowering prices and inviting other businesses into the stores to offer more than just groceries.
What kind of other services will they have? Maybe a bicycle repair shop, a record shop, a craft brewery or even a tattoo parlor. These are merely some of the stereotypical "Millennial" things they have suggested or implied on the website asking established and start-up independent businesses to partner with Whole Foods.
The stores begin opening in May with plans to open 10 by October 2017.

At some point in Tabitha Renea West's life she made the mistake of getting a 420 tattoo on her forehead. Now she's trying to turn her life around so she did what anyone with regrets about their life choices would do, create a GoFundMe campaign. 
She's gotten the funding she needed for the tattoo removal, although some in the comments wish she hadn't, including her own brother.
One person even questioned whether she would follow through, claiming that West has done this before, yet the tattoo remains.
Other people just thought it was a waste, suggesting cheaper solutions, like bangs.
Some optimists, evidently enough to over fund her $800 campaign, believe in the cause and have offered kind words of support to West. Who do you agree with?
Rock Legend Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister's untimely passing on Tuesday has everyone still reeling. The fact that it was just mere days after doctors discovered his aggressive cancer, and less than a month after wrapping up Motorhead's European Tour. The band has declared without Lemmy there is no future for Motorhead, but that he will live in on in everyone's memories.
Beloved by many, two of the most touching tributes have come from a post by Alice Cooper, and Foo Fighter's Dave Grohl's 'Ace of Spades' tattoo.
Lemmy was truly a one-of-a-kind in rock 'n' roll. He was innovative, true to his art and continually relevant even...

How much do you trust strangers?
These people trust strangers. A lot.
Popular New York tattoo artist Scott Campbell is giving people tattoos for free. All they have to do is stick their arm through a hole and have no input as to what tattoo he will give them.
This is all part of Whole Glory, a one-man installation and performance taking place this week in NYC. The lucky few selected through a lottery get a 1-hour session where Campbell gives them a tattoo somewhere on their arm.
His creations are pretty cool, so for a very trusting person this might be a fun exercise.
Here are some of the surprise creations from Instagram...
A New Zealand father didn't want his daughter to be self conscious of her cochlear implant — so he got a tattoo of one for himself.
Alistair Campbell's daughter six-year-old daughter Char
Alistair talked to the New Zealand Herald about his decision
Mr Campbell, who had no other tattoos, said he wanted to do it to show her that he could go through a little bit of pain for her too.
"My love for her really," he said. "Hey my hair can grow back."
Mr Campbell had shaved his head completely to get the tattoo done but said he would be letting his hair grow back.
He'd shave it off again and show off the tattoo at "special occasions," or if Charlotte wanted to see it.
The article said Mrs. Campbell's mother had a cochlear implant and her son, Lewis, 8, wore hearing aids so it wasn't a big surprise when Charlotte needed one.
WOW!! Alistair and Charlotte Campbell are world famous. This awesome story has gone viral (over 80,000 views and 15,000...
The tattoo has not only help out his daughter, but also drawn a great deal of attention to the Hear 4 Kidz Trust of which the Campbell family is a part.
You might as well just stop trying, other dads, the Father of the Year has been decided.
That was a joke. Never stop trying to be a good father, you dolts.

While on some sort of star-studded holiday with Liam Hemsworth's family, J Law got herself a hand tattoo. And it's an inaccurate one at that.
Let her tell you the rest.
