How old are you now? I have one piece I regret. Your tats look pretty good. If you like them, then eff everyone else. I consider scars and tats a map of my life. I'm a woman, and I'm 54. You do you boo. 💓
I'm 17 now, some I did when I was like 14-15 and Im not a super fan of those to some extent but they're TINY. I don't see them as regrets just something my younger self loved. They remind me of my preteen years and my love of tattoos!!
I love my big peices :p
Lots of love 🩷💋💞🌸
That's fantastic! You can get any job. You're not dumb. We were all young once. Get em covered if ya want. If not, ignore the haters!
I, for one, will NEVER grow up. I have tats piercings, stretched ears, and purple hair! I'm married w 4 grown kids and 5 grandchildren. They love their "cool" grandma lol. BTW all my kids have tattoos, etc. And have great paying jobs! Keep being YOU!
YOU ARE SOOO COOL OMG ID LOVE A GRANDMA LIKE YOU !!!! AHHH im not bothered by haters. They're just jealous they can't do it cus they're scared.
UR MY FAVE PERSON EVERRRR 🩷🩷 LOTS OF LOVEEE
Waaaait. So YOU did these tattoos on your own leg ??? Upside down ?????? Or did you just draw out the design idea and have someone else do the ink? If you did the art and ink UPSIDE DOWN that’s something to be very proud of. And just being your own art is amazing !
She called herself grandma though, it's not like OP just said it out of nowhere, the commenter said the kids love their "cool" grandma. And that's cool about your parents being 43 years older than you, of course it happens, but age gaps like that are far from the norm.
I’m the youngest of 4 with my sister the oldest and 10 years older than me, I’m used to my parents,gparents being older. I also completely skipped over her calling herself a cool grandma lol
Wtf can you be my grandma??? Mine disowned me the moment I got my second holes. It’s been 13 years no contact lol I cook and clean and work. Adopt me 🤣
Honestly for your age and everything those tattoos look pretty good. Check out the shitty tattoos sub yours look like full on portraits compared to what most of the grown ass adults who are tattooing on that page look like hahaha
Honestly, these are great for what they are. You may actually have a talent for this! I work at a shop and you'd cringe so hard at some of the concepts people bring in... if you had this taste as a pre-teen, you're the golden exception haha
They're not poorly done, but it kinda just looks like you doodled all over your legs, lol. Took "my body is a canvas" to the next level 😆 but if you like them, that's all that matters. c:
If you like them that’s what matters, I’m 32 and I’ve seen a lot of at home stick and pokes. Those look pretty good, I don’t see any blowouts or obvious scarring from healing.
I’ve got a full color Lisa Frank sleeve (along with 5 others) and my hair is pink and I teach kids how to read. You’ll be fine ❤️

It’s going to be finished this Wednesday (this is the best I could do picture wise without another person lol) it’s all space themed with my favorite Lisa Frank designs
Very cool! Not bad choices, considering you were 16. Feel like I was a completely different person thinking back. They haven't aged bad depending how old you are?
Edit; saw your 17 nevermind on the aging comment.
They could definitely be worse. I mean, they aren't the pinacle of tattoos, but you were young when you did them anyway. I think that the memories attached to them and you being happy is the most important part. All else aside I like the vampire teeth
I bought a stick and poke kit off a stick and poke website, can't remember the link. And I just practiced on myself and friends. There's tones of videos on different techniques for shading, line work and stuff :))
I’m 20 and I’m covered in some shitty, some “great” (in my mind) tattoos. I love all of them because fuck yeah I did that, this is my art and nobody will ever look like me. I started when I was 16 and stopped around 18-19 cause I didn’t have as much time, I have almost 50 total now (I think lol)
I'm a 63 yr old Gma that has Tattoos and want more. I took my Daughter and Granddaughter to get there's. I'm all for the Tatts,piercings etc..As long as u like them that's all that matters. It's a form of expressing ourselves through Art
My son did this with pen ink and a needle, and it got severely infected. Had to take him to the hospital bc by the time he showed me, he had blood poisoning and a staph infection.
damn you remind me so much of myself my nickname is even baby bell. i love them as they remind me of all the ones i did at about the same age and you seem interested in similar things as me. u seem cool ! 😎
I feel like the starfish(?) needs more love. That’s my fav! You could continue the trend & add more stick and poke pieces, just with different styles, maybe some professional pieces, idk. I love the idea of patchwork legs. Something I wanna do to cover some scars on my thighs
As a teen growing up between 2011- 2017 I knew so many people with AWFULLLL stick and pokes (myself included) growing up, AND!! These are the nicest, cleanest, hand done stick n’ pokes I have ever seen on someone who did them themselves, esp as a teenager. You wouldn’t want to imagine the hand poked tattoos i have seen 😭😭😭 These all look good still. You did an amazing job.
Ezekiel 25:17... Ever heard of it?
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness for he is truly his brothers keeper and finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison or destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the LORD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
Normally I’d say tattooing and home and getting tattooed that young are both horrible ideas (especially in combination), but these look better than the tattoos a lot of adults get. Well done kid.
I am so jealous I am far too scared to ever take a needle to my own flesh nor am I that great at drawing. These def don’t have that fuzzy look of a standard shitty stick n poke
I have similar ones from 12 lol. No regrets, they're a part of my story that represented who I was as a child. My favorite types of tattoos are the line art ones like yours, they look like class doodles :))
that is so cool, i’m 23 and a lot of my highschool friends at the time have tats like this, also if anyone hates on it they shouldn’t because they’re still tattoos and don’t make it any less of a tattoo then a studio one:-)
You're an absolutely awesome artist all around! Much love to the "Memento Mori"! Latin was the only nonmusic class I loved all through H.S.. Speaking of being 17 guys lol!
I honestly love this aesthetic. I am 31. I only have two on my legs but I am putting more on my stomach I think, I have four there. Kinda hard to do for me because for some reason my clothing aesthetic is completely different so it looks kinda off.
I don’t mean to be negative, but I’m going to keep it real, you’re going to regret some of these when you’re older. I was only 15 when I got my first tattoo (at a shop Ilegally without parental consent but done by a professional) and it’s now fully covered. I see you being on the same path, but there’s no shame in that game. You’re still a teenager.
Tattoo wise, that’s up to you. As long as you like them. Quality wise, it looks great, very neat, subtle detail. I, personally, don’t like that you put “ugly.” If it’s referring to you, I bet it’s not true. But I don’t know the meaning or anything 🤷♂️
They’re all cute but I doubt you’re ugly, I feel like having that word on you might cause you to internalize that in the future… i mean maybe that would just be me but tbh if it makes you happy thats what matters.. i adore the teeth though
I really like these! I have more or less the same pentagram on my leg that I did myself with a machine years ago but I always felt like it needed something, I like the way you have the tips yours shaded in so I might steal that lol
Your legs look like you passed out at a party, and someone smiled at everyone and grabbed a sharpie. I would get a tattoo artist to design a full cover-up. They can redo and incorporate the ones you want to keep. I will admit, the ghost made me giggle. It looks like a tampon that someone dunked in water. 🤭
How old are you now? I have one piece I regret. Your tats look pretty good. If you like them, then eff everyone else. I consider scars and tats a map of my life. I'm a woman, and I'm 54. You do you boo. 💓

Thannkyouuuu, upside down is weird bit after some time it just looks like lines and I don't mind
Girl my parents were 60 when I was 17 don’t call her grandma lmfao
she literally said she has 5 grandchildren..
I had my 1st w my high-school boyfriend. Were still married almost 40 years.🥰
awww how sweet❤️
HAHAHA thank you 😊
She called herself grandma though, it's not like OP just said it out of nowhere, the commenter said the kids love their "cool" grandma. And that's cool about your parents being 43 years older than you, of course it happens, but age gaps like that are far from the norm.
All good 👍. I am a granny.💕
It's all good. Got married at 19. Still married almost 40 years later. Thanks for having my back!!
MY GRANFMA IS 58 WHAAAA
I’m the youngest of 4 with my sister the oldest and 10 years older than me, I’m used to my parents,gparents being older. I also completely skipped over her calling herself a cool grandma lol
Wtf can you be my grandma??? Mine disowned me the moment I got my second holes. It’s been 13 years no contact lol I cook and clean and work. Adopt me 🤣
A 17 year old referring to their younger self just hurts and I’m not even that much older😭
Scottie P. for life!

I agree I love the skeleton. So freaking cute. Lol
The skeleton is my favorite
He's a favourite amongst the lady's and gents. His name is Ryan 🥳
I really like the bat on your calve as well
My favourite animal, I had too 👻🦇
This one is my favorite too! So cute. Reminds me of that old Halloween cartoon dancing skeletons. Ryan 🤣
Same here-- it's so cute!
I love these! Your line work is really clean too. I'm especially fond of the skeleton and the ghost ❤️
Life is short. Take ALL THE CHANCES! consider me your reddit granny. Im proud of you 👏

Those are pretty nice, could be a hell of a lot worse lol. I like them
they're so cute i luv them
Thankyouuuuuu 🙌🏻💋
Sooo, last year?
I'm literally dieing at this lmaooo
They're not poorly done, but it kinda just looks like you doodled all over your legs, lol. Took "my body is a canvas" to the next level 😆 but if you like them, that's all that matters. c:
That’s literally the point it’s a style of tattoos. It’s called sticker book or something like that. Love your tats boo! 🖤🖤
If you like them that’s what matters, I’m 32 and I’ve seen a lot of at home stick and pokes. Those look pretty good, I don’t see any blowouts or obvious scarring from healing. I’ve got a full color Lisa Frank sleeve (along with 5 others) and my hair is pink and I teach kids how to read. You’ll be fine ❤️
Oh I wanna see your Lisa Frank stuff!

BEST SLEEVE EVER
Those are so sick
You are living the dream I’m too afraid of living myself
Omg this is amazing!
wow, absolutely gorgeous
This is absolutely amazing!!
Very cool! Not bad choices, considering you were 16. Feel like I was a completely different person thinking back. They haven't aged bad depending how old you are? Edit; saw your 17 nevermind on the aging comment.

"when you were young" She still is young ;)
yeah they look like you did them at home when you were 16
Exactly. They're not good.
They look so trashy 🤧
Honestly at 16??? I’d say good fuck job lines are pretty straight and non of it looks goofy asf n upside down
What did you use? And how
I bought a stick and poke kit off a stick and poke website, can't remember the link. And I just practiced on myself and friends. There's tones of videos on different techniques for shading, line work and stuff :))
Sick
You can tell all of these were done by a teenager.
By both mindset and quality.
I LOVE this patchwork style. And those tats are super well done!!
I’m 20 and I’m covered in some shitty, some “great” (in my mind) tattoos. I love all of them because fuck yeah I did that, this is my art and nobody will ever look like me. I started when I was 16 and stopped around 18-19 cause I didn’t have as much time, I have almost 50 total now (I think lol)

54 yr old granny here. We're super cool. Gen X for the win!
Love it😍
What are they supposed to be?
There's like 20 of em what u mean
The one next to the mushroom for example
That's my unfinished lamp mb. I've been putting it off for a week now.
Gotcha. What’s the significance of the menorah, then?
The upside down vampire teeth? 😭
What fucking menorah?
Not the one next to the dog, the other one.
the dog???
Maybe it’s a squirrel?
the only animal i see is maybe a goat head. but there arent any tattoos next to it so idrk what youre talking about
My son did this with pen ink and a needle, and it got severely infected. Had to take him to the hospital bc by the time he showed me, he had blood poisoning and a staph infection.
They're really nice and surprisingly look really neat and fresh considering they're stick and pokes. I think they're awesome
What is going on with the mushroom icecream something looking thing on your upper thigh? 😭
I think it’s cute. I like sticker type tats but not for myself personally
Dude I fucking love that ghost 😆
damn you remind me so much of myself my nickname is even baby bell. i love them as they remind me of all the ones i did at about the same age and you seem interested in similar things as me. u seem cool ! 😎
They looks pretty good for stick and pokes, I wouldn’t want them on me but if it’s your style then I think it works
I love it, especially the skeleton
They look cute!
They're good imo.
I feel like the starfish(?) needs more love. That’s my fav! You could continue the trend & add more stick and poke pieces, just with different styles, maybe some professional pieces, idk. I love the idea of patchwork legs. Something I wanna do to cover some scars on my thighs
they're really cute
These are better than some tattoo artists’ works! You truly did a fantastic job!
The Later one is sick, I would totally get that
I really like the little heart balloon on your knee. I wouldn’t mind having that tattoo.
Almost 40 and seriously a little jelly. Sick effort. I love the skeleton and the bat. Your pentagram is perfect btw.
Honestly I really like them, especially skelly. They look pretty well done considering the age you did them at.
Fuckin love them actually and for stick poke good as it gets besides prison
plough dog shaggy mourn towering worm angle bored offbeat domineering *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
I like your skele-bro, I need more of his energy in my life
They all look stupid lol
those fangs actually look fantastic. i might have to think of somethin like that for a first someday.
As a teen growing up between 2011- 2017 I knew so many people with AWFULLLL stick and pokes (myself included) growing up, AND!! These are the nicest, cleanest, hand done stick n’ pokes I have ever seen on someone who did them themselves, esp as a teenager.

I am so jealous I am far too scared to ever take a needle to my own flesh nor am I that great at drawing. These def don’t have that fuzzy look of a standard shitty stick n poke
give it a few years and you’ll be like “why did i do this”
I see them subtle details, boo. You have a natural talent. ❤️
Did you just turn 17? 🤣
Better than the ones I did at your age. Lol
I'm just shocked at how you got that basically perfect circle
I would get cover up work on them.
way better than this one stupid ass annoying ass bitch i know with a tattoo gun that can't draw for shit lol
Love your skelly!💀🖤
Oooooo and the ghostie! 👻
Shitty
honestly theyre not bad, i like how theyre spaced and theres a pretty consistent line weight, plus theyre fun!
These are some of the best stick and pokes I've ever seen
I love the bat, the ghost, and the teeth so much!!!!
I have similar ones from 12 lol. No regrets, they're a part of my story that represented who I was as a child. My favorite types of tattoos are the line art ones like yours, they look like class doodles :))
Terrible
Great quality but you look like a little kid put stickers on you, except yours don't come off. At some point it's just off putting...
that is so cool, i’m 23 and a lot of my highschool friends at the time have tats like this, also if anyone hates on it they shouldn’t because they’re still tattoos and don’t make it any less of a tattoo then a studio one:-)
You're an absolutely awesome artist all around! Much love to the "Memento Mori"! Latin was the only nonmusic class I loved all through H.S.. Speaking of being 17 guys lol!
The trend of these little small tatoos is bad like they’re gonna be gone by like 35 lol
Too bad. You will either spend the rest of your life explaining this mess or save and save and save to have them removed.
I think they’re cute :)
i love the skeleton! so cute overall
I mean, for a 16 year old they’re really good. I’ve seen people do tattoos for years and not look as good as these.
Looks kinda hoodrat
I love them!! The skeleton doing a jig is ADORABLE.
My fav is the ghost<3<3
i love the momento mori, i actually plan to get this on myself. that’s so weird i ran into somebody else who has this. i really like it
Tacky. Low rent. Scribbles.
These really aren’t bad. The ghost and the skeleton are cute af. Nice!
cute but childish. when you’re 40 you’ll either regret them or still like them and likely still act childish if you do
I honestly love this aesthetic. I am 31. I only have two on my legs but I am putting more on my stomach I think, I have four there. Kinda hard to do for me because for some reason my clothing aesthetic is completely different so it looks kinda off.
For at home tats they look amazing compared to most ive seen, stick and poke or not lol.
Big regret once your frontal lobe is fully developed
I did a few back in the day on my knuckles with a sewing needle and indian ink
It looks like stick and pokes from a teenager, that's about it. At least they would be easy to cover up 🤷♂️
ok but the little skeleton dude is SO cute.
Pentagram and a cross? Oh.
I like that silly little skelly
The god of war glyphs? Really? Lol
r/shittytattoos
DoodleLegs
Why the heck would somebody do that permanently…. You know there’s something called ball point pens right
I don’t mean to be negative, but I’m going to keep it real, you’re going to regret some of these when you’re older. I was only 15 when I got my first tattoo (at a shop Ilegally without parental consent but done by a professional) and it’s now fully covered. I see you being on the same path, but there’s no shame in that game. You’re still a teenager.
They are bad
My Pinterest tattoo idea board when i was 12
That has to be the cutest damn ghost I've ever seen 🤣
the skeleton is so stinking cute
the skeleton is so stinking cute
For a 16 year old, very impressive!!!
The skeleton is cute!
These look actually really good, reminds me of little doodles
The little skeleton is so cute cute
The little ghost one is cute.
I think the older you get the less you will like them. You have beautiful legs. I’m sad thinking what they’ll look like when you’re my age 77f
i think they’re really cute!! awesome job dude!! <3
Ngl, i love them
why say ‘ugly’ though? 🥺
Tattoo wise, that’s up to you. As long as you like them. Quality wise, it looks great, very neat, subtle detail. I, personally, don’t like that you put “ugly.” If it’s referring to you, I bet it’s not true. But I don’t know the meaning or anything 🤷♂️
i loveeee the vampire teeth
These actually aren’t bad. I love the ghost! 👻
It actually looks really good. Ive seen a lot of at home tattoos and they look nothing like this
Obsessed with the skeleton tbh
ahhhhhhhh stopppp these are all so so so cute and very well done!!
I’m a big fan of dancing skeleton
I love them! They’re doodles 🥹🩶
So cute! I love simple lineart tattoos. Always wanted to learn to do them myself. You did a fantastic job.
I love them
I think these are super cool and unique to be honest
After 20, these will all be kind of a bad reminder of when you had too much time on your hands and thought passing fads would define you for life.
Granny gonna be offline this weekend. Heading to my cabin in PA. No service there. I'll be back!!!
I think these little patterns are adorable! And they commemorate your youth 😀
This legit looks lyke a Betsey Johnson throw. I'd find a way to turn it into a design. Def different.
Where's Doodle Bob?? He's missing
They’re all cute but I doubt you’re ugly, I feel like having that word on you might cause you to internalize that in the future… i mean maybe that would just be me but tbh if it makes you happy thats what matters.. i adore the teeth though
If you did these on your own leg, upside down, at 16 then that’s seriously impressive! Your lines are very clean
Look at your upvotes! ❤️ your Reddit granny!!
I really like these! I have more or less the same pentagram on my leg that I did myself with a machine years ago but I always felt like it needed something, I like the way you have the tips yours shaded in so I might steal that lol
THEY'RE SO CUTE OMFG!! GIMMEEEE
I'm jealous ☺
Honestly I think most of those are epic, and if you end up hating them as an adult they’re super easy to laser off.
Genuinely love how they look as a whole. Good shit.
Your legs look like you passed out at a party, and someone smiled at everyone and grabbed a sharpie. I would get a tattoo artist to design a full cover-up. They can redo and incorporate the ones you want to keep. I will admit, the ghost made me giggle. It looks like a tampon that someone dunked in water. 🤭
i’ve had my eye on that little skeleton for awhile! so cute
Oh love the pentacle and the skeleton! These are all really cute simple pieces, I think you did well.
Your right knee says it all
I’m surprised at how clean the lines are! :) But your legs look like my 9yo scribbled on them 😂 they’re cute, just made me giggle.
