A comedy trope, in which a character has – what else? – an embarrassing tattoo. It might be shoddily done, misspelled, or show the name of a former romantic partner. It might be written in a language the wearer doesn't understand (or even read) and thus not mean what they think it does. It might be part of a trend that has been Condemned by History. It might represent a gang or hate group, or otherwise not reflect the wearer's current beliefs or lifestyle. It might be a design or symbol from a culture the wearer has little or no relevant connection to. It might be warped due to age, weight changes, pregnancy, or infection. It may have been the work of an amateur artist. It might be the location of the tattoo that is embarrassing (e.g.: on the buttocks or near the genitals). It might also be the result of teenage whim; even if the person was legally an adult at the time, what looks cool at 19 can easily become embarrassing by 30. Bonus points, or perhaps a Face Palm (depending on the perspective), if Alcohol-Induced Idiocy is a factor, regardless of whether it's the one doing or getting the tattoo. A Tattooed Crook may face this situation after going straight. This variation is far more likely to be Played for Drama, especially if the tattoos are symbols associated with gang violence or racism, such as a swastika. |

Averted in Horimiya. Miyamura keeps his body tattoos hidden while he's at school (to the point of always wearing long sleeves, even in the hottest of conditions), but it's just because he doesn't want to be bullied or get in trouble with the school board. He freely shows them off outside of school (along with his piercings), and even gets more tattoos early on in the story. | |

At one point in Ranma ½, Ry�ga becomes invincible thanks to a tattoo of a war god on his stomach. Since the god happens to look like a cutesy smiley face, he begs Ranma to defeat him to make it disappear. There's also the more serious problem that the mark persists even in his animal form, which means that he runs the risk of Akane discovering his curse. This is a problem since, in his pig form, he's been posing as Akane's pet P-chan, and sleeping in her bed. If she were to find out, she would likely not be happy about it. | |

In Uncanny X-Men, following Kitty Pryde's Heroic Sacrifice, Colossus, mourning the woman he loved, got a tattoo of a heart with the name "Katya" (in the Cyrillic alphabet) on his chest. Subsequent shots of Piotr shirtless and unarmored don't show it, though; since we never saw it removed, it may just have been Retconned out or otherwise temporary. It's just as well since Kitty got better and fans were speculating as to her inevitable reaction when she sees it. | |

In The Cosby Show, Russell Huxtable was revealed to once had a tattoo done on his chest for Anna. Unfortunately, he had a cold at the time, so it was spelled "Adda" — which happened to be the name Anna's chief rival.note Nevermind that a real tattoo artist would have written out the name on his chest in pen first then showed Russell in the mirror for his approval before making it permanent. He had that removed, but it left a scar on his chest. | |

Angela tries to talk him down, only for Hodgins to wake up in the middle of the desert, drugged, with Angela's face tattooed on his arm in scary perfection with the caption "Angela Forever".

Foreman from House tells people that his tattoo is a Native American symbol meaning "the force of life". Guest star LL Cool J recognises it as gang ink from his juvenile delinquent days. LL's own prison tattoos are symbolically removed by an MRI machine, which implies that they're made of metal or something. | |

Frequently referenced on The Simpsons: In one episode, Homer changes his name to Max Power. Marge comments that that poses a problem, as she has the name "Homer" tattooed on her... "you know". Homer's cheerful response: "Oh Marge, they have harsh acids that can burn that off!" In another episode, Homer claims that getting a tattoo "preserves the things you love." He then rolls up his sleeve and is dismayed by what is there: "Starland Vocal Band? They suck!" In another episode, Bart somehow manages to tattoo "Wide Load" on Homer's rear end. In another episode, Nelson's mom is in the process of getting her huge "Classy Lady" tattoo removed. Of course, only two letters have been removed so far, and it doesn't take rocket science to figure out which ones. In "Waiting for Duffman," Homer participates in a reality show competition to choose the next Duffman and is runner-up to one "Contestant #12"—who's quickly disqualified when it's discovered that he has a tattoo with the name of a rival beer, "Olde Ogdenville Ale." Homer is then checked for tattoos and named the new Duffman upon the announcement that he only has one, which says "Marge Madness." |

Downplayed in Paddington 2: The inmate Knuckles rather redundantly has knuckles tattooed on his knuckles, which is the least of it - it's spelled "Nuckel's" and the letters have been put on the wrong hands, so he has to cross his wrists to show it. But he's also so feared among the prison population that no one ever makes fun of him for it, not does he show any embarrassment himself. | |

According to the clients that show up at the namesake studio, this is the premise of Tattoo Nightmares, on Spike TV. It shows how hard it can be; many of the bad tattoos are large and dark. Most of the tattoos were either poor drunk decisions or free tattoos given out of trucks and the like. In several cases, people mention the tattoo artist doing drugs right before tattooing them. | |

This short-lived FOX Family cartoon called Monster Farm (not to be confused with the Monster Rancher video game series, which was called Monster Farm in Japan) had Goatasaurus Rex resort to blackmail in order to become leader of the farm in "Fangs for the Memories". One of the secrets he threatens to reveal is that Dr. Woolly has a "risque tattoo" that can only be seen when he's sheared. One of the episodes that didn't air in America expanded on this secret of Dr. Woolly's and established that his tattoo is why he hasn't been sheared before. | |

Although he doesn't want to show it, he still doesn't want a non-white doctor to treat him (although he doesn't want to admit that outright). Dr. Bailey, the spunky female black doctor, ends up operating on him and stitching the tattoo up into an S shape rather than a swastika. | |

He passes out mid-tattoo due to screaming about the needle and complains later that it "doesn't even look like a snake — it looks like a candy cane", prompting Sam to deliver An Aesop about freedom of the individual and their inalienable right to get questionable body modifications, as long as it's their "boneheaded choice". | |

Fullmetal Alchemist: Scar's arm is covered in a tattoo that allows him to perform his destructive alchemy. It's embarrassing because it reminds him of his past. It's actually his dead brother's arm. Riza Hawkeye has a large tattoo on her back, which was likely put there against her will, perhaps by her own father. |

Harry Potter: The Death Eaters have the "Dark Mark" tattooed on them as a symbol of their membership. Former Death Eaters like Snape and Karkaroff consider them shameful, given some of their exchanges in Goblet of Fire. Also, in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Ginny spreads a rumor about Ron having a pygmy puff tattoo, "but I didn't say where" (and of Harry having a Hungarian Horntail on his chest, but that's another trope). |

King of the Hill: In "Be True To Your Fool", Hank shaves his head due to a sudden onset of lice and discovers he had Bill's name tattooed on the back of his head, as a result of a drunken night and a well-timed rescue by Bill. Since Hank was too drunk to remember, Boomhauer was the only one who knew of it as he was with Hank in the tattoo shop (he was going to have it tattooed across his chest before Boomhauer talked the artist into putting it somewhere more discreet). In a slight subversion, when he discovered the tattoo, he immediately had it removed, but later had it put back on in order to help Bill out of a funk. | |

It's a plot in an episode of Married... with Children with a two-for-one example, courtesy of the tattoo artist being too drunk to do the job exactly as requested. When Jefferson asked him for the tattoo, he wanted it on his arm. The tattoo artist, in his drunken stupor, applied it on his butt. Jefferson intended for the tattoo to spell out the name of his wife Marcy — but since the tattoo artist was plastered, it ended up spelled "Mary". Jefferson tried to get it changed, and he did...to "Marty". |

Discworld: Corporal Nobbs's tattoo has a pair of crossed daggers and the word "WUM". It was supposed to read "Mum", but Nobby passed out and the tattooist didn't notice he was upside-down because he was drunk as well. Apparently it's not a proper tattoo if anyone can remember how it got there. It can be assumed that Alfonse the smuggler in Pyramids isn't usually embarassed about his Comic Sutra tattoos, but he's rather uncomfortable when a young lady (Ptraci) notices them, and even more so when she turns out to be a trained courtesan who matter-of-factly critiques the designs. |

Snow Crash: A semi-humorous example is the forehead tattoo of the badass mercenary Raven, which reads "Poor Impulse Control". What makes this one less amusing is that it was given as a judicial punishment rather than a personal choice. And that he has a Nuclear Weapon mounted in the sidecar of his motorbike. There's also the drunken hick that the half African-American, half-Korean Hiro encounters who has "RACIALLY INSENSITIVE" and "MOOD SWINGS" tattooed on his forehead — although in that case, the hick seems to think those are things to be proud of. Briefly. |

The Big Bang Theory: In the episode "The Adhesive Duck Deficiency", it's revealed that Penny has a Chinese character tattooed on her butt. It's supposed to mean "courage", but according to Sheldon, it actually means "soup". It should be noted that Sheldon's track record with Chinese is not great, so we have no way of knowing which it is. In a later episode, Penny tells Leonard that since the last time they were together, she'd gotten a Cookie Monster tattoo, and that the acceptable reactions to it are "awesome" or nothing. |

On My Name Is Earl, Earl meets a biker babe with a lower-back tattoo reading "Wanna Ride?" He takes her home...and discovers that far from being a Badass Biker, she was a cutesy, naive girl with a room full of stuffed animals, and a love of the outdoors and papier-mache, none of which Earl was into. And far from being promiscuous or sexually adventurous, like her tattoo would suggest, it turned out that before she hooked up with Earl, she was a virgin. Earl was confused, and the girl noted that her temporary tattoo (the one that had caught Earl's attention) had rubbed off on his forearm. In another episode, Frank has been dumped by his longtime girlfriend Billie over a misunderstanding. He does (as Earl puts it) the one thing you should never do in Prison: give up. Another inmate is tattooing his name on Frank's butt, while Frank just lays there apathetically. Earl puts a stop to it and resolves to get Frank a new girlfriend, using a dating service available to inmates. In that same episode, it's revealed that the misunderstanding is over Frank showing Earl a picture of Billie. The audience never sees the picture, but the picture is described in detail. Frank bought Billie a tattoo (as well as a promise navel ring). The tattoo is a pair of angel wings, located on her vulva. It also says, "Love your brother." Earl thinks it's just a nice sentiment, but Frank explains that it's really "Love, your brother," as her brother was the tattoo artist. Another episode in the prison arc has Glen, who has been in and out of prison many times, since "before he knew what swear words were." While in juvie, he gets a tattoo on his back that reads "Fudge the Police". (It's not known if it was temporary or permanent.) Another episode revealed that Joy has a "tramp stamp" with her kids' names and birth dates on it. Darnell reads it to show that Dodge and Earl Jr. really are her children. Donny Jones went to Prison for a crime that Earl committed a couple of years before the series began, and had a Faith–Heel Turn while he was in there with little else to do besides reading The Bible. While in prison, he got at least two tattoos as symbols of that: a crucifix on his torso (which he often consults with)...and a tattoo of Moses parting the Red Sea on his buttocks. |

He regrets this because when he is the millionaire owner of a Greek island, he will be the only sunbather among his guests to be wearing trunks. In Cappuccino Years, Rosie wants a tattoo lasered off her belly when she is pregnant, saying that the little monkey will stretch to look like King Kong. In Weapons of Mass Destruction, it is revealed that Adrian's father had "I'm a nutter" tattooed on his head as a skinhead youth; which then became visible when he started losing his hair. |

One Piece: Portgas D. Ace has his name tattooed on his arm, except it's written "ASCE" with the "S" crossed out. One would presume the artist couldn't spell, but the "S" is actually a tribute to his thought-to-be-dead brother Sabo (whose Jolly Roger was a crossed-out S). When Nami was working for Arlong against her will, she had been forced to wear the tattoo of his crew on her arm. She did some serious damage wearing it, angering Luffy and ensuing an ass-kicking. She since changed it to a pinwheel, which has a much more positive connotation for her. A meta-embarrassment: Trafalgar Law's "DEATH" Knuckle Tattoo originally said "DETH" before it was corrected. |

Not Always Right: The tattoo artist in this story from Not Always Working assumes this to be the case for the man's name his client wants covered up. He's dead wrong: it's a memorial tattoo for her father, but she's just found out he'd actually faked his suicide to go live with his other family. But since the artist mocked her, she'll go get the cover-up somewhere else. Also assumed of this person on sibling site Not Always Healthy. In this case, the fresh bandage that earned a nosy onlooker's scorn was not even for a tattoo — the wearer was healing from a punch biopsy that had to be stitched closed, and the bandage was to protect the stitches. |

Duncan Bentley has an ankle tattoo of "POES LEKKER" with an accidental "E" in "LEKKER" crossed out. The story behind this is that Vulvodynia was in the middle of a European tour and was playing in Slovakia, and Duncan had just taught the members of Blade of Horus what "poes lekker"note an Afrikaans phrase that most accurately translates to "fucking sick" in English meant. One of the Blade of Horus members decided they were going to get it tattooed on their pubic area, and one of the venue staffers told them that they had tattooing equipment somewhere near the bar and could do it on the spot. The whole of Vulvodynia decided to get the same tattoo as a show of team spirit, and Duncan wrote the phrase down so they could spell it correctly, only to have the artist accidentally put in a second "e" where the first "k" should have been in "lekker". After profusely apologizing, the artist crossed out the accidental "e", and Duncan then opted to get it on his ankle instead of his pubic area and specifically requested that it also be done with a crossed-out "e" in solidarity with the Blade of Horus member. | |

The second person had tattoos all over his body but was trying to get a white-collar job. The third person tattooed her boyfriend's name on her arm, only for them to break up shortly afterward. | |

Steve-O from Jackass has plenty of tattoos but there is one he regrets the most. It all began one night in 2006 when he and his drinking buddies got together and they asked him what his new tattoo should be. Inspired by the idea of not wanting kids, his first idea was a "No Babies" sign, but he decided against it. His second idea was the phrase "Fuck babies!" but he decided not to go with a wordy tattoo. This led to a drunk Steve-O going with a tattoo of a man raping a baby on his left arm. Even then, he knew he was crossing a line but he treated it like another crazy stunt. The first thing he did was show it off to a couple that was walking past the tattoo parlor, and the looks of horror on their faces made him realize he made a very big mistake. During the filming of "Jackass Number 2", Steve-O hid the tattoo with a bandana and when he got back from India, he covered the baby with a black blob. Then Bam Margera made the suggestion of turning the blob into an ostrich and he went with it. Bam drew the ostrich and Kat Von D tattooed it and Steve-O thought, "Problem solved!" In 2017, the tattoo ended up partially burnt off during a stunt involving rocket engine fuel, so he had the tattoo changed to that of the man and the ostrich riding a motorcycle. | |

On Saturday Night Live: Mocked in a fake commercial for "Lower Back Tattoo remover", which is just a bottle of acid that leaves a horrid scar where the tattoo was. On the season 39 episode hosted by Bruce Willis, Brooks Wheelan did a Weekend Update commentary about the dangers of getting meaningless tattoos by showing off the ones he got in high school. He had an Anthony Kiedis tribal tattoo (because he thought he'd love the Red Hot Chili Peppers forever), a red nautical tattoo, and a weird seascape on his right side (which doesn't make sense to him, since he grew up in Iowa and never saw the ocean). That seascape was actually covered with makeup when it was otherwise exposed in the "E-Meth" commercial. |

Impractical Jokers: In one punishment, Joe has Sal, Murr and Q get these. Q's is a picture of a cat and the sentence "38, lives alone, has 3 cats." Q jokes that he's not going to be 38 forever. Murr's is a picture of a screaming, skydiving ferret, a reference to a previous episode's punishment. Sal's is a headshot of Jayden Smith. Why? It's funny. In the movie, Sal gets another Jayden Smith tattoo with Jayden Smith himself watching! |

Cookie in Beetle Bailey has a large tattoo with the name of a long-past love inside a heart. Because it's so conspicuous, he once declared he won't even consider a date with a girl not named Rita. In another strip, however, he figured a woman with a slightly different name won't notice anything when he made an addition to the tattoo to make it read "MargaRita." (This was never mentioned again and the change was lost in Negative Continuity.) | |

Refreshingly averted by the Pym sisters from Aunt Dimity when they finally meet their great-grandniece Bree. They mention having seen tattoos on a sailor and a male farmhand, and while they express curiosity to see them on a young woman, they give no hint of condemnation of the practice. They are also familiar with the Maori cultural influence on New Zealand. After a bit of coaxing, Bree does push up her sleeves to show them, and she tells them about the morepork owl on her left shoulder. They also recognize the specific flowers (bamboo orchid, red mistletoe, and white tea tree blossoms) she has on her arms. | |

In American History X, Derek Vinyard (Edward Norton) has a large swastika tattoo on his chest, which becomes shameful to him after he renounces his racist ideology. In a particularly poignant scene, he finishes taking a shower, then looks at himself in the mirror while covering up the tattoo, realizing that he will likely carry that symbol of hate with him for the rest of his life. The poster to the film also features Norton trying to cover the tattoo with his hand. | |

In Tales of MU, Mackenzie lets Amaranth write "Nymph's Toy" on her forehead in magic marker — as in, actual magic, meaning it can't be removed without magic (or, presumably, self-mutilation). Naturally, this happens right before they head out to the college town for the first time. Mackenzie very quickly goes from acting naturally about it (because she forgot it was there) to being mortified once she realizes why everyone is staring at her. | |

In the Millennium Series, Lisbeth Salander gets revenge on the guardian who brutally raped her by forcibly, painfully, and very badly tattooing him with the words "I am a sexist pig, a pervert and a rapist." She prevents him from getting it removed, and he still has it when he dies. | |

In John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme, Series 9, Episode 1, Russ has a tattoo of a crocodile's lower jaw. He has an explanation in place that it represents the fact you can hold a crocodile's jaws closed, but not open, symbolising that strength depends on application, but it's actually because he asked the tatooist for the narrowest animal she had, then backed out altogether when she'd just started. | |

At one point Sherlock Holmes did his trademark Sherlock Scan on a man and said that he had once been in a close relationship he was later eager to forget. How did he know this? Because of a tattoo that the man had since attempted to remove with acid. | |

Ted from How I Met Your Mother went to a tattoo parlor on a drunken dare while trying to get over a break-up and ended up with a butterfly on his lower back (or as Barney puts it, "a tramp stamp, a ho tag, ass antlers ..."). It turns out the tattoo artist was recently dumped by the girl Ted was making out with (the one who dragged him there to get a tattoo). He gets the tattoo painfully removed in "Ten Sessions" and eventually gets engaged to the doctor who performed the procedure. | |

The Gonzales brothers, players for an American team in Eyeshield 21, wanted tattoos based off of their nicknames, the elder being "Big and Useful" and the younger being "Little and Useful", rendered directly into kanji as daiben (大便) and shouben (�便). Unfortunately for them, those phrases mean "poop" and "pee" respectively. | |

An episode of Braceface has Sharon going behind her mom's back to get a Chinese character tattoo that allegedly means "freedom" (but actually means "grapefruit"). In that same episode, Sharon's mom reveals that when she was young (possibly around Sharon's age), she got a tattoo of a disco ball done on her rear end, but she later had it removed when she realized it looked more like a golf ball than a disco ball. | |

On Justified, Boyd Crowder used to run a gang of Neo-Nazis and has swastikas and other white supremacist symbols tattooed on his body. After being shot, he had a Heel–Faith Turn and renounced the ideology. The tattoos are now a source of embarrassment to him, especially when he tried to ally himself with the African American community of Noble's Holler and its leader Limehouse. | |

In Hc Svnt Dracones, the "New Look" surgery permanently alters your pigmentation (since tattoos don't work too well with fur or feathers). It gives you a social bonus with groups that find the new pattern attractive or endearing and a penalty with just about everyone else. Mutants who naturally have unusual patterns are frequently subject to Fantastic Racism due to the surgery's association with rebellious kids. | |

Gravity Falls: Grunkle Stan has a tattoo on his back which is partially seen under his undershirt. It's unclear what it refers to, but Stan is bound and determined that no-one sees it, especially his inquisitive nephew Dipper, as said nephew found out on "Dipper's Guide to the Unexplained". Later, in "A Tale of Two Stans" we find out that it's not a tattoo at all, but rather a burn mark Stan got when fighting with his twin brother 30 years ago. In Gravity Falls: Journal 3, fitting this trope markedly more than Stan's tattoo, it is revealed that his twin brother Ford got a lot of embarrassing tattoos during his time with a tribe of tentacle-armed warrior piglets, including a star giving a double thumbs-up and declaring him to be an All Star. |
