In movies, you've probably seen a character make a spur-of-the-moment decision to get a tattoo; usually after a breakup, a wild night out, or some dramatic life event. At first, it seems like a great idea. Then comes the moment they catch a glimpse of the finished tattoo and instantly realize they may have made a very permanent mistake. While those scenes are often played for laughs, there's a reason they feel so relatable. Tattoos are one of the few decisions that literally stay with you for years, if not a lifetime, so they're usually worth a little extra thought, planning, and patience before committing.

We've rounded up some of the most memorable, confusing, and unintentionally hilarious examples for you to enjoy.
