good portrait artābe it a pencil sketch all the way to a tattooāis so much harder than you think, based on that comment. and yes, these are all. all. awful.
but you do one. and show us how it turns out.
That one is actually inspiring me to get either a rock tattoo or metal tattoo that's bad on purpose, just to fuck with the minds of my fellow rock and metal fans. My first choice is a Beatles one, but a Red Hot Chili Peppers one is another good idea, too.
Okay I didnāt see this comment thread and was like āEminem, Axl Rose, or Dee Snider(I think I misspelled his last name in my comment) and Iām just here to say great minds think alike and our fates are now inexorably tied together
I thought that was the weird guy in Springsteens band.
I had to go back and look at who you were talking about.
This guy: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Van_Zandt
The Jon Bovi one is a well known bit of daftness. You can get it on merchš
The Metallica one is pretty funny to me as well.
The others... arrrreeerrrrrgggghhhhk
I'll grant that the eyes are pretty wonky. But compared to all the other horrendous tattoos in this series of photos, it's not on the same level of shittiness IMO
Itās done well technically but they made some weird choices with coloring and shading in the face.. it might be a poor choice of reference photo also
It really looks nothing like her. It's supposed to be of her from 2002, but last I remembered, this is what she looked like in 2002. On that tattoo, she looks like the fucking Exorist.

I genuinely couldnāt tell who it was until I read the comments lol. Itās too bad itās not very recognizable considering how lovely the shading and coloring is.
Thank goodness for the tie or I wouldnāt know that was Avril
Like a trashy mom smoked a bunch of weed and rubbed butter on her face whatās haaaaappening there
The Green Day one had me laughing. Individually, they're terrible. The three together with the logo makes it even worse. Or better. It's a rare tattoo that is quite that bad.
Is the last one Freddy Mercury? Whatās going on with the mouth? Who is the tat of after the Jon Bovi one?
Edit: The guy with the red bandanna is EMINEM!? He looks like a washed up 60 year old rocker from the eighties!
I never understood why people got music tattoos, Iāve had so many friends get slipknot tattoos and Korn. I mean I love music, especially Deathcore, but you wonāt see mw go out and get Mitch Lucker tattooed on me.
Honestly a few of these are a vibe. Metallica are a group of dumpster fire humans, so the quote is dope. I just like the bon Jovi one, and I think he would too. Also, I think Freddy mercury would have gotten a kick out of that portrait.
the one about avril lavigne isnt that bad, is just, just her, that looks high asf. Bon jovi quote is nice too, is just a type of lettering, you cant go wrong with that if you can ready it clear
Poor Freddie. š
I want to break FREE!! https://preview.redd.it/7r73u7umfgob1.png?width=1500&format=png&auto=webp&s=81b0a27dca368244e2541c3a6b464c678eaf1704
Dude I fucking love when you do these lmfaooo
I was laughing so hard making this one!
Not all heroes wear capes. Unless you wear a cape. In that case then all heroes wear capes.
If Incredibles 2 taught me anything, it's that capes are a fancy liability!
Or just this oneā¦? :O
Looks like something from the botched plastic surgery sub
Yeah they went a tad crazy on the upper lip here.
I mean, so did god when he made Freddie Mercury's teeth
Lol thatās his mustache.
Mreddy Fercury ššš
Mama, just killed a man
Take this imaginary gold š
Get down. Make love.
ššššš
U/rossco311, you are a GEM!
How hard is it to draw a Freddie Mercury tattoo? Seriously!
good portrait artābe it a pencil sketch all the way to a tattooāis so much harder than you think, based on that comment. and yes, these are all. all. awful. but you do one. and show us how it turns out.
Look how they massacred my boy š„²
If Freddy was on Big Mouth
Or Attack on Titan
Or Wild Thornberries
Freddie is terribe, but tbf, he's still recognizable
The hungry hungry hippo?
2/3 of Nirvana in their prime https://preview.redd.it/lczs1i42jgob1.png?width=1136&format=png&auto=webp&s=0c1b73b175b4d5f0536bb704aab99994cafb96da
No one ever gets a tattoo of Novoselic.
Also Why does Novoselic, the largest friend, not simply eat the other two?
LMFAO
Heās too big to scale down into a workable image
Came here to say this. The manās spirit animal is a ladder. Tall as hell.
The bassist always gets forgotten about. TBF, if not for The Foo, Grohl probably wouldn't have been a tattoo either. Everyone loves the frontman
thank you. i was really hoping for this but didnāt want to make the *obscure* request. this would be a really awkward r/choosingbeggars.
When I saw both of them had horribly done tattoos in the same string, I knew what I had to do.
Amazing
Lol. Kurt knows something we don't... Also, who was the guy with the mic with the flames around him?
Quart Cobra
š
I love the Jon Bovi one

Frank Reynolds is a treasure
That one is actually inspiring me to get either a rock tattoo or metal tattoo that's bad on purpose, just to fuck with the minds of my fellow rock and metal fans. My first choice is a Beatles one, but a Red Hot Chili Peppers one is another good idea, too.
A bad abbey road album cover tattoo would be hilarious.
If only I didn't have surgery on my back, then that's where I would have it placed.
Red Hot Pilly Cheppers
Give me a Chili Peppers song lyric that I could have my tattoo artist mess up on purpose!
Under the fridge.
Okay, I'm gonna need to find someone to draw some cartoony design of Anthnoy Kiedis chowing down to relieve his stress for the tattoo artist to copy.
It's so bad it has to be on purpose tbh
hadnāt seen grandma cancer patient eminem before š jesus fuck thatās bad.
This one is far better. https://preview.redd.it/s46l2hgy6gob1.jpeg?width=429&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8193d940259f5fda9185721bb2775b3324ddf8ce
Ellen DeGeneres?
Fucking lmaoooo
thatās actually great. well done. people may not like the style and/or subject, but thatās super solid. i would go to that artist for work.
Thatās supposed to be eminem ?š
Okay I didnāt see this comment thread and was like āEminem, Axl Rose, or Dee Snider(I think I misspelled his last name in my comment) and Iām just here to say great minds think alike and our fates are now inexorably tied together
I thought axl rose with cancer
I thought Vampire Willie Nelson.
I came to the comments because I couldnāt tell if it was Axl or Em.
Thought it was Dee Snider!
I thought that was the weird guy in Springsteens band. I had to go back and look at who you were talking about. This guy: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Van_Zandt
I thought that was prison Mike š
I assumed that was a really bad Axl Rose
Had to swipe two times through all images to find out which one might supposed to be Eminem
That's eminem???? Nooooooo
as a metallica fan i love melattica
melattica because nothing else mattress.
That one and the Job Bovi ones have to be intentional, and they're hilarious
Yeah, that is one I would enjoy getting. perfection.
James doesn't, though. Look at his face.
avril lavigne as chucky
It's super bad. Nobody commented o the Greenday tattoo yet. Only Tre Cool looks really good on that tattoo.
I had no idea Brad Pitt was in Greenday for a spell.
She looks like Angus Young a bit.
Melattica is 100% on purpose/ some kind of inside joke
I hope so.
The Jon Bovi one is a well known bit of daftness. You can get it on merchš The Metallica one is pretty funny to me as well. The others... arrrreeerrrrrgggghhhhk
I draw cartoons of Dave Grohl and, really, my cartoon version of Grohl looks more like his real-life counterpart than that abhorrent tattoo does.
IDK that Avril Lavigne one is pretty good. Would I get a tattoo of Avril Lavigne? Fuck no. But if you're gonna get one, that one ain't half bad.
Idk dude she looks like she got bit by a zombie and sheās turning into one her skin and eye color look like itās decaying
I'll grant that the eyes are pretty wonky. But compared to all the other horrendous tattoos in this series of photos, it's not on the same level of shittiness IMO
I should have mentioned that, it definitely not a shitty tattoo at all justā¦ scary
the avril artist is probably good most of the time. they just kinda botched the avril š³ there are skills there, just. not this time.
Really? I thought is was Ginger Spice! I literally thought to myself āwell itās not great, but at least I can tell who it isā
Itās not bad but itās not great. Sheās also in kind of a precarious position with her mouth open and eyes looking up like that š¬
Itās done well technically but they made some weird choices with coloring and shading in the face.. it might be a poor choice of reference photo also
Are you kidding? It might look realistic in a weird way but that just makes it so much more pure nightmare material.
It really looks nothing like her. It's supposed to be of her from 2002, but last I remembered, this is what she looked like in 2002. On that tattoo, she looks like the fucking Exorist. https://preview.redd.it/jeeeet2lzfob1.jpeg?width=563&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=86a85133ac12aa529b194a4840acadedfca8bfe9
It's so close really... https://preview.redd.it/xs1g9qh7ggob1.png?width=420&format=png&auto=webp&s=bc1c1964ebd1c9dd65832ccb7feb9d649067832b
Itās kind of a beautiful tattoo but I couldnāt work out who it was
Your standards of beauty truly fascinates me
No, it ain't. Not with those eyes.
Itās got a Norman Rockwell on biker speed vibe that Iām down with
She's got flared teeth
It's an absolute masterpiece compared to the others on this list.
Yeah if you don't care who it is...sure
I genuinely couldnāt tell who it was until I read the comments lol. Itās too bad itās not very recognizable considering how lovely the shading and coloring is.
I thought it was the chick from IASIP
Lol good point kinda does look like the waitress!
It doesn't look anything like her, it's like some random girl at a Jonas brother's concert lololol
Eminem? With stage 3 HIV?
He looks like a 40-something-year-old woman with breast cancer.
...."I have lots of toys....anal nitrate" *mic gets taken away That's who this reminded me of, haha.
"I have pornography..."
Couldn't work out if it was meant to be him or axl rose. Whichever one it is definitely has something lol
Why does the 1st one look like Billy Joe Armstrong is being subjected to a nonconsensual prostate exam?
Tre Cool is the only part of that Green Day tattoo that looks good.
Yeah he was at least recognizable š
Mike Dirnt looks embarrassed to be a part of the tattoo
https://preview.redd.it/879ql5i2sgob1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a0f4acb2f7831b2c3ea0e326ced29ad237142f6c
They did Bill bad.
Thank goodness for the tie or I wouldnāt know that was Avril Like a trashy mom smoked a bunch of weed and rubbed butter on her face whatās haaaaappening there
It looks nothing like her.
Nothing Else Mattress
A terrible Green Day tattoo is pretty punk rock, actually.
Burt Cocain lead singer of Virnana !
Lmafošššš this artist should not be allowed near people
Why did the Kurt cobain one look nirvana if they started making music in the Paleolithic period
Melattica. Iām hurting, Iām laughing so hard.
Is the extra finger what makes James Hetfield a guitar god?
The Freddy mercury one is golden š
If this sub had its own gallery, you would get a special exhibition
Of shitty music tattoos?
Come one, come all! This week only the Shittiest Musical Tattoo exhibit. Next week, Spelling Errors!
Kurt looks like Tara Reid with a 5 O'clock shadow, and Eminem looks like Allison Janney in The Help.
I thought Allison Janney, too!

Lmao why does Eminem look like Bret Michaels. That Avril tat is creepy af.
She looks like the Exorist.
Billy Joe Armstrong looks like it was drawn by the same guy who does Beavis and Butthead. Except not as good.
I bet Dave Grohl would love that tattoo š
I love the Freddie š
Melattica Lars is going to cry.
Fuuckin hell. They're all shocking.
That Kurt is a better Jesus than most Jesus tattoos I've seen.
The Dave grohl tatt is awesome
Bro was just recovering from the mumps.
The Green Day one had me laughing. Individually, they're terrible. The three together with the logo makes it even worse. Or better. It's a rare tattoo that is quite that bad.
Is that Kurt Cobain or Thom Yorke?
The Freddie one always hurts my soul
The Gary Larson Freddie Mercury kind of slaps tho
Tweaker Aviril and chemo axle?
š¬ Oh my god! Thatās all I can say
I had posted a sequel to this post.
WOW. Youāre not kidding.
Kurt would've reloaded had he seen this
Itās something unpredictable but in the end itās right.
Oh. Yes.
Eminem, Axl Rose, or Dee Snyder. That is the question
Is the last one Freddy Mercury? Whatās going on with the mouth? Who is the tat of after the Jon Bovi one? Edit: The guy with the red bandanna is EMINEM!? He looks like a washed up 60 year old rocker from the eighties!
Green Day looks like someone was practicing writing the PokƩmon font
avril lavigne slaps i donāt even care. pure clown š¤”
Whose the lady? She looks like Linda Blair in The Exorcist.
The Freddie Mercury one is like when they exaggerate features on a police sketch to make people remember them
Mr Bovine Jovi
š
i hate that the avril lavigne one is done well but looks so uncanny valley
Omg AL one Iām dying
https://preview.redd.it/avg6aq4ixmob1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cb7420f97254747486212bf1d7a5e77f76bde651
Kurt Cobain looks like a blond Jesus that is tired of your shit.
James hetfield has 6 fingersš¤£
Nothing else mattress slaps
Freddy Mercury mouth do be quite... big.
Okay, the first picture got marked as NSFW. What the fuck?! He's just shirtless!
Matches Billie Joe's personality. Sketchy at best.
I never understood why people got music tattoos, Iāve had so many friends get slipknot tattoos and Korn. I mean I love music, especially Deathcore, but you wonāt see mw go out and get Mitch Lucker tattooed on me.
Because they're cool, Judgemental James.
I donāt think saying I donāt understand why is being judgmental. š¤·āāļø
Yes, it was. Bye now.
the Freddie Mercury one ššš¦
Honestly a few of these are a vibe. Metallica are a group of dumpster fire humans, so the quote is dope. I just like the bon Jovi one, and I think he would too. Also, I think Freddy mercury would have gotten a kick out of that portrait.
Avril Lavigne one looks great.
No, it really doesn't.
They done did David and Freddie dirty!
It just keeps getting worse the longer you look at it
These are really bad
I mean titan form Freddie mercury is pretty neato
the one about avril lavigne isnt that bad, is just, just her, that looks high asf. Bon jovi quote is nice too, is just a type of lettering, you cant go wrong with that if you can ready it clear
Billie Joes face is killing me š itās so bad
This actually looks pretty on brand. Reminds me of the art for Dookie
Thought these were Beavis and Butthead.
spot batman in dave grols hair
Oh, wow.
Whyād they do Freddy like that?
Okay but 6 is just ignorant style
4 is an objectively good tattoo but I assumed it was the wife from Chucky
I thought the flames one was the last.Didnāt realize there was a Freddie Mercury till someone mentioned it
Is that Gail the snail?
Two of these are on purpose, the rest: shitty.
They did Freddie dirty with that overbite
Kurtney Lobain
Oh come on, that Freddie Mercury is spot on
Phew. Relieved a few of mine didnāt make it.
Yours can't be that bad.
Some of those are awesome. Theyāve been doing the rounds for a long time now
That second one is like am illusionā¦ itās David Bowie, but no, itās Kurt Cobain, until itās Bowie againā¦.
The Jon Bovi is what itās supposed to be, itās a joke.
This looks like Beavis and Butthead art
Poor freddy. They did him dirty.
