Your body isn't just a tool; it's also a canvas, and tattoos are one of the most personal forms of expression. But if there's one thing people love to do with art, it's critiquing it.
Ink Shaming — All Bad Tattoos is a Facebook group where that becomes clear. From terrible designs to bizarre subject matter and questionable placement, nothing escapes the 397K members' judgment. The group also sees a lot of discussions over who's to blame for these designs, and some of them even get acquitted.
So keep scrolling, upvote the ones you agree with, and join the debate!
