Getting a tattoo is - or should be - a serious decision. Getting inked up is a hell of a lot easier than getting a hasty tattoo removed. That's why you should never get the name of that person you're absolutely in love with after just a few months of dating. It's also why you need to choose an artist you trust, and try not to request a tattoo when you're under the influence of alcohol or under the influence of stupidity. These awful tattoo fails will probably scare any lackadaisical ink addicts straight.
