Just a few generations ago, the only people who got tattoos were criminals, prostitutes and sailors. Now everyone and their mother have one. Here are some of the worst tattoo locations for guys.
With social acceptance towards tattoos increasing, Generation Y are having a field day, hitting the tattoo parlor as soon as they’re 18 to get their ink on. However, with this surge in people getting ‘inked’, comes some problems.
One of them being, of course, bad tattoo placement. Not only is there an increase in people getting tattoos, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), laser tattoo removal is also on the rise.
Recently there was a staggering 43% increase in the number of people undergoing laser tattoo removal. This statistic is consistent with a recent survey from the United Kingdom that found that nearly one-third of people with tattoos, suffer from tattoo regret.
So, in an effort to thwart tattoo regret, as far as placement is concerned, here are six spots on your body where you really shouldn’t get tattoos.
Or if you’re a hot girl with tattoos, then its ok.
Your Lower Back, aka, “The Tramp Stamp”.

Your Lower Back, aka, “The Tramp Stamp”.
Several years ago, elaborate and often tribal designs on the lower back became all the rage, FOR WOMEN. Until someone started calling them a Tramp Stamp.
A Tramp Stamp is a staple amongst women who have made bad decisions. Though on a woman it kind of makes more sense, paired with low-rise jeans, it draws the male eye towards her buttocks and wherever his mind goes from there.
Doesn’t at all make them classy though. Even worse than a woman with a “tramp stamp” however, is a man with one. Why a man wants to draw attention to his crack I’ll never know…
Your Face.

Wow, okay. So straight up, no matter how much society’s morals decay, you will never get a job that earns you any decent money if you get a face tattoo.
Seriously kids, ink on your face will mean a lifetime of cleaning toilets at Taco Bell.
Hips.

Like the “tramp stamp”, this spot had previously been reserved for women. These are just terrible.
One of the main jobs of a tattoo is to draw attention to a particular body part, that’s why on a guy, the bicep is always prime real estate, and a great way to show a tatt-loving lady your guns without looking like a douche.
You just HAVE to flex to show off your tattoo in it’s best light. But a hip tattoo? Seriously? What are you wearing to show off your tattoo? A boob tube? …You know who has a hip tattoo? Justin Bieber. ‘Nuff said.
Obliques/Torso

Obliques/Torso
Popularized by some female celebrities, the torso tatt is another one men should avoid. Unlike women, the torso is one of the first places where a male body deposits it’s fat.
Sure, if you have a body like David Beckham, you might be able to get away with it for a little while.
But, miss a few sessions at the gym, indulge in one too many beer and pizza nights, or decide to put a ring on her, settle down and let yourself go, and suddenly, your tough tiger tatt looks more like Garfield the cat.
Inside Your Lip.

Inside Your Lip.
A trend among some men and women, a tattoo inside your lip is simply awful.
The soft tissue there makes it easy for the ink to bleed and fade and quite often, after a year, you’re left with an indistinguishable and/or unreadable splotch of ink.
If you want to look like you’ve been addicted to sucking on pens since the age of five, go for it.
On Your Junk.

Okay, so the kind of girl who wouldn’t mind getting banged by a guy with this placement of ink, is the girl you wouldn’t want to go near with a 10ft pole and at least three condoms, in which case she wouldn’t see it anyway.
As I’m sure you’re already aware, hopefully, any genital area has a higher concentration of nerve endings, making it much more sensitive and excruciatingly painful to get inked (and can deaden the sensation of sexual intercourse). Find another way to piss your parents off.
