Tattoos. They represent a lifelong commitment to a person, thing, or memory, and should not be decided upon at the drop of a hat. Of course, sometimes all of the forethought in the world won’t stop a tattoo owner from receiving a load of WTF-looks and questions regarding the state of their sanity. Whether it’s because they’re ugly, oddly placed, or just a strange choice, here are four anime tattoos that made me pause in consideration:

You Got What Where?

I’m sure that this tattoo has a very special meaning to this young woman but if I were a guy – or a girl-liking girl – I would not want to have an emaciated Chinese boy staring me down every time we got around to disrobing. But that’s just me.

Mom Said to Say Something Nice: That’s a pretty stomach! It’s just too bad you have a Chinese anime kid squatting on it. You should charge him rent or something.

Liar, Liar

I can’t even tell you who this blue-haired anime girl is, but I can tell you her crotch is on fire which is never a pleasant thing – or so I’ve heard. I’m banking that the kind of guy who gets this tattoo isn’t getting any action anyway so no comment there. Someone please tell me if that’s an arm or a leg though.

Mom Said to Say Something Nice: I like the use of colors? No, no I don’t.

Nothing Makes This Right

There are two tattoo characteristics I’ll never understand: partial tattoos and pieces where you, the tattoo owner, can’t really see them. So having a disembodied head over your nipple confuses me to no end unless it’s that you get your jollies from seeing a cute anime girl’s face near your manteet every time you look in the mirror.

Mom Said to Say Something Nice: It looks fresh; the regret might not have set in yet.

Poised to Strike

I’m not an expert in what guys think when they look at a girl’s back but I’m sure it’s never been, “Gee, I wonder who’s going to get their ass kicked?” And if he is wondering this and you don’t have this tattoo to spark that thought then lady, you are dating Chris Brown — get out now.

Mom Said to Say Something Nice: When she puts her hair down it must look like they’re hair stylists from samurai hell. This amuses me to no end.

* I’m not insulting the actual tattoo artists because they tend to be bigger than me and I’m only sarcastic not stupid.

    I love anime and I love tattoos. But for some reason anime and tattoos just don’t mix.

    btw it would be awfully nice of you (hint hint) to ask permission before posting people’s pictures, let alone pictures of their bodies, in places other than they deem appropriate.

    And Dylan, if you didn’t notice I wasn’t bitching. I was politely suggesting asking permission before posting it. The only places I have my tattoos posted are my own personal pages and I do believe when you click a link on google it leads you to the page. Easy enough to ask permission. You need to calm down sir xD
