I’m a tattoo artist & you should never get five designs, you’ll regret them in 10 years – there’s even a tiny one I hate | The Sun

THERE are five tattoo designs you'll probably end up regretting in 10 years, at least according to one tattoo artist.

Even if you spent ages thinking about the perfect inking before you got it, chances are it won't age very well.


Dave Chudley took to social media to blast some of the worst tattoo designs, and you're not safe even if you've only got a tiny one.

According to Dave hand tattoos can be hit and miss, smaller designs might look cute for the first year or so, but you could regret them down the line.

"We use out hands a lot, bare that in mind when picking a design, they can fade quicker," he explained.

Face tattoos are also a big no-no, especially if they're "small and pointless."

The main problem with the tiny designs is that "in time it will fade and turn into a blob."

But that's not the only reason, Dave added: "Face tattoos are a commitment," as he showed off his own ink on his neck.

"If you want them, be sure," he insisted.

You should also avoid getting any tattoos of "trendy film characters," the pro said.

It might be your favourite flick right now, but in 10 years it might not hold up – so think long and hard before taking the plunge.

But even Dave admitted to making this mistake himself.

"I think people who watch IT once and then go and have Pennywise done is stupid, by the way I done that, gone now," he confessed.

And if you don't want a tattoo identical to everyone else steer clear of lion and clock designs.

The pro explained that it just shows how unoriginal you are, since you probably found the design online and didn't come up with it yourself.

Finally, we all know getting your partner's name permanently inked on your body is a risky move, but people keep doing it anyway.

Dave said: "Just don't. Get something else."

"Jinxes the whole thing as well," he added in the comments of the clip.
