At Asylum, we consider the body a sacred temple that shouldn't be debased. On the other hand, a tattoo of a dolphin in a recliner smoking a bong is wonderfully stupid.Hence our fascination with the new book "No Regrets: The Best Worst, & Most #$%*ing Ridiculous Tattoos Ever."
A "No Regrets" tattoo is one that would stop you cold if you saw it on a girl right before you were about to hook up. It could also disqualify you from being a sperm donor.
So enjoy, just don't get drunk and end up getting the same tat as one of these poor saps.
Note: The photo captions are from the book as well.
No Regrets
I bid $1, Bob.
Don't make eye contact with this. Looking at Chuck Norris in the eyes is like watching "The Ring." You won't know it, but you'll be dead within a week.
Okay, this is the best tattoo we've EVER seen. The artist told us this was the result of a lost bet (awesome). I can't decide who I want to give an awesome beej to more: the dude who thought of it or the dude who actually got it.
Now preppies are getting tats? It's over people! Nothing to see here, folks. Go home to your families.

R.I.P. Ol' Dirty Foot,
This guy doesn't need bongos and a bag of coke to bring the party. He just shows up in shorts with his PARTY LEGS and brings the PARTY VIBES. Even his grandchildren will be high-fiving him when he takes them fishing.
There are about three million Chewy tattoos out there, but this is the funniest rendition I've ever seen. I could look at this every day for the rest of my life and still get a chuckle. Dude, look at it. It's. So. Good.
"Snakes on a Plane" on a douchebag.
This is what happens when chicks die: We turn into magical pink unicorns who get blazed by our big strong Pegasus boyfriends on a cloud in the middle of a rainbow. Then we get to smoke afterwards and nobody tells us it's a cliche.
Here are a few sights from the NYC Tattoo Convention and its best tat contests:
Worst Celebrity Tattoos
- 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).
- Worst Celebrity Tattoos
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.)
- Worst Celebrity Tattoos
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).
- Worst Celebrity Tattoos
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! (Photo by Getty Images.)
- Worst Celebrity Tattoos
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).
- Worst Celebrity Tattoos
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).
- Worst Celebrity Tattoos
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).
- Worst Celebrity Tattoos
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.)

Tina, Tom, I may not agree with you on everything you said, but when I saw all the hair on that person and read your comments, I fell out laughing! That is quite a bit of hair on one body. LOL. ****I don't have any tattoos myself, but my 16 year old son wants one. I think he's too young right now, but he's a wonderful young man with a 3.7 gpa, and has already earned his Emergency Response License! What do you guys think? Should I let him get one? He wants prayer hands with rosary beads. What does the needle feel like? Are the "sticks" harder or softer than the stick of an immunization shot?

Its not that Nick Carter cant spell "KAOS". It happens to be his nickname. I dont see why thats such a bad tat to have. My nickname is "honey" and I have a honeybee over my heart. Although some of those tats are quite rediculous.

Trap stamps? Anyway, I'm so happy that I live here, where I can get ink applied under my skin, and pieces of metal inserted through my ear lobes, or anywhere else, for that matter. And as for the 'crappy tattoos, whoever did them sucks', some of them were totally mind blowingly good. I perhaps wouldn't have a picture of W.C. Fields, but to each his own here in America!

this is for the closed-minded person who said that tattoos are tramp-stamps......that is being so judgemental. I have 3 and will keep on adding. My husband loves my stamps and I guess i'm his little tramp!!!!
If you have any religious backgroud, didn't the bible say not to judge people.
Also the little saying of not judging the book by it's cover?
If someone wants to make their mark on their body it's their choice. If you don't like it then don't look.

It is not only awaste of money, but most of those guys are NOT artists, they are want to be artists. And besides, if God would have wanted us destroying something he had made, he would have covered us all in junk like that, let alone all the stupid canabalistic nose rings, tongue rings, and other unmentinable places that these people place them for thier self identification. Those things are absolutely disgusting, and show me nothing but perversions of offending God.

Okay, following your logic, that God would not want you to do anything to the perfect body he created, why would he tell Jews to get circumsized? And, oh yeah, don't remove any moles, or cancerous cells. Heck, don't ever get braces, cuz that is the way God wanted your teeth to look.

If you know where to go, then the person is an artist. You dont just wander in decide at random you want a tatt and have some random guy give you one. You look through their different art styles and decide if it's right for what you want. People who aren't idiots who get tattoos get them because it symbolizes something that means a great deal to them, that they will never regret having on their body. If it's in the right place, aging won't affect it much so long as you maintain within 20 lbs of the weight you were upon getting it.
People are beautiful no matter what their personal choice is for what they decide is an accessory or expression of self or soemthing meaningful in their lives. Some keep it personal, some let the world see. Some are obvious in meaning, others are confusing, but God never said anything about tattoos or piercings. If we are not meant to change anything, then never cut or dye your hair, never get your ears pierced, never wear make-up, never get braces, leave everything as is. Don't preach to others, when I bet you do half of those. It is their own body, they may do as they like with it. They are not an abomination just because they do not follow how you think or what you think is "acceptable" , which apparently is only what a priest told you God said was acceptable. I believe in God, but I'm not brainwashed enough to think that individuality must be sacrificed as a result.

also, i'm willing to bet a lot of them can draw better than you can. No one can truely judge art ; so long as it is done with passion, it's art. If not to you, then to someone else.

One Question Michelle;
Are your ears pierced?.. The one thing that never fails to get me is how people can complain about tats and piercings, laying it off on if God had wanted us to have 'em we would, when 99% of those people have their ears done. What's the dam difference? Let me guess, god pierced your ears too..

Michelle,
You may have one of the stupidest opinions I have ever heard on the internet, and the internet is a pretty damn big place.
First of all, you bring religion into this. I don't believe in "God" in the sense that you do, but I went to Catholic school half my life, and had to go to an Evangelical church as well for a few years. If you are going to bring God into this, you really need a reality check. Tattoos and piercings offending God? Did you hear anything in the Bible saying that these things are wrong? No. Did you hear anything in the Bible about accepting others for who they are, and not judging them? Yes. In other words, you are committing sin by claiming you're a better person than these people merely because they have ink or piercings.
Secondly, we are constantly destroying things God made. Have you ever driven a car? That's killing the environment that God supposedly made. Have you ever gotten a haircut or shaved your legs? That's also "killing" something God made. God put us on this Earth with free will so we could make choices such as getting ink or piercing our bodies. Would you consider dying your hair perverted and offensive to God? Of course not. You just have a very shallow world perspective and refuse to accept that other people have different lifestyles than you, and that's really sad. It's people like you who make this country look bad.
Thirdly, do you know what cannibalistic means? Because it doesn't appear that you do.... And saying that tattoo artists are not artists? That's just the most ludicrous statement in your entire post. You obviously don't know what art is. It's a LOT more than just painting, drawing, and sculpting. Come out of your conservative isolated bubble, or just don't talk because everyone who read your post probably holds a very negative view of who you are.
Lastly, I do not believe in all this God talk, but I am trying to help you better understand the God you think you know. I'm not saying that some tattoos are offensive, but a lot of people who get them do so to commemorate something very influential and important in their lives.

If your God didn't want people to get tattoo's, he wouldn't have given people the mental abitlities needed to create the tools necsessary to get tattoos. After all, He created the person who figured out how to do them in the first place.
Meanwhile, my American Soldiers have died through out the years to give me rights and freedoms as an American Citizen. And, yes, that includes the FREEDOM to express myself in ink and the RIGHT to get one if I choose.
You have every right to your opinion, as do I. The only difference is in the class of which we voice them.
