When a celebrity has lost touch with reality, there are signs.

Sometimes it's getting behind the wheel after too many drinks and not enough panties. Sometimes it's agreeing to co-star with Kevin Costner, assured that this flick is definitely the comeback. Yet with the folks we've gathered here, the inability to gauge right from wrong is as plain as the ink on their face, or thigh or navel.

Behold Ashlee Simpson, who recently tattooed an enormous permanent corsage on her wrist.

She didn't even make our countdown of the 20 Worst Celebrity Tattoos Ever.


Who did we miss? Let us know.



Worst Celebrity Tattoos

    Megan Fox. We hate to pick on someone as hot as Megan Fox. Unless she has a tattoo as lame as this obscure line from Shakespeare's "King Lear." We will all laugh at goofy ink. (Photos by checkoutmyink.com, maxim.com).

    19. Johnny Depp. Turns out Winona (Ryder) wasn't forever after all, but instead of burning off the entire tat, Johnny Depp cleverly had it shortened. And if he ever goes to rehab, he can just shorten it again to "No Forever." (Photos by tattoos-by-design.co.uk, flickr.com).

    18. Pink. Yes, that is a barcode on the back of singer Pink's neck, supposedly from one of her albums. Run her over a scanner and $1.98 pops up. (Photo by AP.)

    17. Travis Barker Travis Barker, sponsored in part by Cadillac. GM should pay him royalties to play shirtless on all Plus 44 tours. (Photo by Getty Images).

    16. Amy Winehouse. Poor Amy Winehouse. In addition to her well-publicized substance abuse problems, she has a body smothered in crappy tats. Check out the shirt pocket tat with "Blake's" above it (in honor of her husband). A nice idea, except she looks like someone who pumps gas at Blake's Corner Chevron. Fill 'er up, Amy!

    15. Angelina Jolie. Words of wisdom from Angelina Jolie's back. What, she never heard of bumper stickers? Hey, Angie: You have the right not to put dumb tats on that hot bod of yours. (Photos by chinadaily.com.cn, celebden.com).

    14. Bam Margera. We're not sure what's creepier: the bizarro tat of his Uncle Vito that Bam had done on his calf, or the fact that Vito was just convicted of sexual assault on a child. If we're Bam, we're having that thing burned off. Like, yesterday. (Photos by alloy.com, blogs.kansascity.com).

    13. Mark Wahlberg.Why put your initials and last name in permanent ink on your shoulder? So you don't have to pull out the cig dangling from your mouth if someone asks who you are. Just pull down your shirt and show 'em... without a word. Cool as ice. (Photos by vanishingtattoo.com, westlord.com).

    12. Cher. "If I could turn back time," Cher must be thinking, "I'd stop myself from getting this stupid tattoo put all over my ass." A little lower, and it would look like a big fart cloud. (Photo by AP).

    11. Tommy Lee. Oooooh, look out everyone. Tommy promises MAYHEM. Oh no. Not.. mayhem! Danger, bedlam, tomfoolery -- fine. But please, anything but mayhem. (Photo by Getty Images.)
