Getting a tattoo means you have something meaningful that you want to be inked into your skin forever. It's something that requires a lot of thought (unless you decided to get a tattoo when you were drunk on a night out) because, after all, it will be there for a very long time. And what is more meaningful than getting a matching tattoo with your parents, which bonds you for life? It's an incredible way to show your love for one another and your special connection. Check out these people who got matching tattoos with their parents, because they're giving us all the feels.

Life is full of awkward moments that make us wish the ground would swallow us up. We've all had them, and the reality is, we'll probably have more. But my philosophy is that you may as well laugh at your misfortunes, because how else do you recover from them? Writer Sarah Schauer has done just that. Her tweet about the time she mistakingly flashed her tattoo artist has inspired others to share their equally awkward stories of times they flashed various professionals. These accounts of people revealing a little too much flesh to their tattoo artists and doctors will make you cringe on their behalf and probably remind you of your own embarrassments, which will make you cringe some more. Or, one woman so eloquently worded it in her Tweet below, "I would have rather just passed away."

The Face Swap App has given us some real laughs over the past few years. People have been using it to face swap their kids, their animals, and even high profile figures. And now a new phase has begun, where people are face-swapping their tattoos that have faces on, and the results are truly terrifying. Check out these people who really took the Face Swap app to the extreme and good luck sleeping tonight!

Weddings are stressful to plan; you want everything to be perfect for your special day. After all, you (hopefully) only have one wedding and you want to get it right! But sometimes the stress can get the better of the bride-to-be which can make them a little, or very unreasonable. One bride who insisted one of her guests cover up her tattoos and dye her hair (at a great expense) because her look "clashed" with the aesthetic of the wedding has been shamed in a bridezilla-shaming Facebook group by the guest. Check out her unreasonable request below, as well as how Facebook users jumped to the guest's defense. 

Sometimes you see things that make you question humanity and often, that comes when you see what people tattoo on their bodies. What people don't seem to understand, is that having a moment of madness is fine, but the last thing you should do is get that moment permanently inked into your skin, especially your mouth. 

These pictures of some of the most awful lip tattoos you'll ever see will leave you speechless, and really asking 'just why?' And if you like them, check out these hideous tattoos that serve up the cringe.

Artist from Istanbul, Ahmet Cambaz, creates some of the most beautiful simplistic tattoos. Ahmet Cambaz told Vice Creators, "My tattoos are micro style, geometric, and direct. We are living in a complicated age. That's why I prefer to create minimalist lines in my pieces… Everything is now needing to become simpler." We absolutely love these designs, how about you?

Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in Nova Scotia is searching for a very distinctive suspect. Bradley James Barton, a 34-year-old from Pugwash, N.S., has a warrant out for his arrest for stealing a car that belonged to a volunteer firefighter. Once they released an image of the man, the people in the comments section had a lot to say: 

One of the biggest lessons one can learn in life is that tattooing someone else's name on your body is a bad idea. A very bad idea.  That is excatly what happened to this guy on instagram and people immediatly stepped in to show how they have covered their wrong life choices. 

Some beautiful, some powerful, and some fun. Tattoos are a way to help express oneself and bring their inner self-portrait to the surface. 

When getting a tattoo, it's extremely important to make sure the artist is 1. sober and 2. can spell... 

Always check your spelling!
