  1. Moogie says:

    I’d sue the “artist” for that god-aweful work if that happened to me. Then again, I’m not stupid enough to get a tattoo from some talentless back-alley place anyway… What was this guy thinking?

    • madcow says:

      That he would have a cat chick tattoo

    • Cool coutch says:

      your right what the hell is up with the tattoo on the left

    • Jansy says:

      Sometimes it just doesn’t come out the way you want it. For example, my first tattoo I got done I still look at and love because it’s exactly the way I personally designed it. My second tattoo was done by the same “artist” and despite my lengthy conversation with him to make sure he could successfully replicate the design given to him, it turned out completely wrong and I’m paying to get it removed (perhaps I should make HIM pay). Same artist, two completely different results.

    • Silver says:

      thats a woman! Not a guy!

    • LunaC says:

      Anyone who gets a tattoo needs to know the artist- if you get a shite tat from an artist it’s your own fault for not doing the research. Just because some hack puts a tattoo sign outside and owns a machine doesn’t mean he knows the 1st thing about tattooing. Its up to you to make sure he is competent- and if I had seen ANY of this guy’s work I would have been able to say he was a HACK. Chalk this up to 2 things- unoriginal tattoo idea fail, and tattooist blind-faith fail.. no way he coulda paid the $500-600 MINIMUM this tattoo was worth- speaking as a former tattooist, I would venture another fail involved in this travesty- the ‘I don’t want to pay for what the work is ACTUALLY WORTH from a COMPETENT artist so I’ll shop around’ fail.. the industry is full of these idiots- in fact, it THRIVES off of them…

    • RakureX2 says:

      loll LOL LOL LOL OMFG UR NAME IS “MOOGIE”, COPY OF THE FAMOUS SPAMMER “MOOKIE”.

  2. Xanthe says:

    Sooooo funny thanks for the laugh
    Xanthe

  3. Hunter says:

    first

  4. bastardang says:

    haha, first fail.

  5. unicorn says:

    from HD to 16 bit downgrade iteration.

    i hope the person with the shit copy has horrible vision. they obviously have horrible taste for getting that shit put on their leg and even tackier tastes to get it copied from some other lowlife.

    • doktor girlfriend says:

      I agree its lame to copy someone else’s tattoo, but are you saying tattooed people are lowlifes? Way to make a prejudiced generalization. FAIL.

      • Celox says:

        I think it was more a remark on the cat girl, distinctly lacking some leopard skin underwear.

        • anna says:

          i think that tattoos ought to at least be done professionally instead of copying it from someone else’s leg…. but that kitty tattoo on the left is a pretty cute one

          • Kat Goby says:

            I agree. But i’d probably get a shirt or something like that instead X3
            Tattoos just ain’t my thing. I respect them though.

          • sophia says:

            retard,
            it wasn’t copied off someone’s leg

            • Jenrai says:

              Ohm, yes, it was. Look at the bottom of the pick. That right there is what’s technically known as a shoe strap.

              Gratz on yer own personal intelligence FAIL.

    • diggerb says:

      Fact is, these two tattoos are probably based on mass-distributed flash (i.e. the tattoo art you see on the walls at a tattoo shop). Probably different artists at different shops. Not copied from one-another, but from a stock design, adjusted according to the client’s wishes and artist’s skill.

  6. Alcari says:

    Well that should teach him not to get tatoos from the shady guy in the back alley.

  7. selah says:

    I can’t tell the which is the shitty one. They both look godawful!!!

  8. fcuk says:

    It’s not a fail.

    Second picture is a LOT smaller, therefore there isn’t much detail in it.
    If you would zoom in into the first picture, it would look just as bad/good

  9. extrapreneur says:

    someone needs to learn about art, though i’m not really in to art to be honest, http://www.extrapreneur2.wordpress.com

  10. M says:

    Brilliant blog!
    You’ve to check mine out, under “funny Signs” tag. You might find something you could use.

  11. hay zus says:

    Wow, fcuk is COMPLETELY wrong.

  12. claysol13 says:

    Yea, whoever did both are horrible.

    http://claysol13.wordpress.com

  13. auntyherohag says:

    choose you’re tattoo and artist wisely…

  14. FPB says:

    great stuff as ever. after a difficult couple of weeks these made me laugh out loud again. grin and tonic

  15. trademark says:

    Wow. That’s truly hideous.

  16. globalglamour says:

    LOL! That looks fucking ridiculous I’d sue and smack the bastard who gave me that shitty “copy” of a tatoo!!

    Anywayz…like your blog!

    G.G.

  17. killsceptics says:

    Both are fail, IMHO. Tats to me are a sign of “white trash”. The only acceptable tat was for sailors who’ve been shipwrecked and they get a tat for living through it. Just think how ugly these things are going to be when these people get old…ewww.

    • S says:

      “White trash” is it? I’m sure all the non-whites with tattoos were thinking how caucasian they’d look with their new tat…

    • bannie says:

      I think they’re tramp stamps.

      (Go ahead and try to beat me up for that; but remember that I do get to have an opinion, too.)

      Further, imagine a pretty little butterfly on a young breast…then imagine that same breast in 50 years–with a faded, blotchyk, elongated, creased mess on it.

      Do any of you want your grandkids to have to admit to the kids at school, “My grandma has tattoos”?

    • agrwife says:

      In defense of the “white trash” with tats, I have two, and the last thing I would think of myself as is white trash. My husband is a soldier who works very hard for the money he brings home and who served in both the Gulf War and the current war in Iraq. In honor of him, I got a camouflage heart on my thigh, just for him. My other tat is on my hip of a fox that my childhood best friend drew for me when she was thirteen. She was killed by a drunk driver two years later. Both tats are in places never seen by the general public and have special meaning to me. Call me white trash if you’d like, but I will never regret my tats.

  18. Clint says:

    I had this strange urge to get a human/cat bikini hybrid permanently drawn on my leg but now I’ve reconsidered.

  19. Brad Hodges says:

    No no no, cats are cool. They aren’t gay. In fact, I’m gay.

  20. nothatingjustsaying says:

    I’m not hating, but maybe this person is one of those types of people that think orginal NES is better than PS3, like they’re just that stubborn type of pay-40-bucks-for-a-t-shirt-so-that-it-looks-like-i-bought-it-at-a-thrift-store douche bag, and they wanted it that way. If that’s the case, maybe it’s not a fail at all. I’m not hating, I’m just saying.

    though yeah, it’s probably a fail.

  21. Anonymous says:

    1. Sue the therapist.
    2. Sue the artist.

  22. EK says:

    So having ink makes a person a low-life? Interesting stereo type. And how is the 1st one a bad tat? Is it because its not a guido arm band or some tribal shit that you probably have NO idea what it means? Oh I know, you probably have your name on your shoulder. Real creative.
    To the ass that copied the tat, thats karma for ya. Don’t ever copy ink you non-thinker.

    • Failpanda says:

      I agree with you. Tat’s don’t make people sleazy or anything. *thinks of the stereotype biker dude and trailor trash chick* That stupid nickname “tramp stamp” is an awful thing. Some people have beautiful tattoos. Sometimes they’re full of significance. But you can’t go around just asking people if their tattoos mean anything. But that doesn’t mean you have the right to assume either. So, to killsceptics, you’re in the wrong. This art isn’t bad. I mean, the one on the right is, ohhh hellz yeah. But the one on the left is actually rather good cartooning and the proportions seem right for the style. Yeah, the tat on the right is drawn really badly… sorry just had to put in my opinion.

      • Kat Goby says:

        Totally true. I personally would NEVER get a tattoo. But in my time i’ve seen some gorgeous tats, people with tattoos shouldn’t be discriminated.

  23. duh says:

    2 photos of the same tattoo – the “bad” one is probably right after it was done, the “good one” is after it had time to heal

  24. brad says:

    i wank a lot *wank* *wank* fapfapfapfap

  25. Richard says:

    That IS bad, but this is the worst tattoo of all time, and a colossal fail.

  26. [...] Copycat Fail March 23, 2008 – 7:40 pm Thanks to Anonymous for: [...]

  27. Dan says:

    The copy is ridiculous. The only thing more ridiculous is those of you that can’t tell the difference between shit work and work done by Jime Litwalk.

  28. aquilathehun says:

    Ok, the original is a bad design, but done well. The copy is smaller (hence the lack of fine detail) but the artist was also obviously bad. Choose your artist wisely people! :)
    And to ‘duh’, if you think that’s the same tattoo, look again at the mouth, eyes, ears, color and shape. Maybe even with your eyes open.

  29. aubergineconfetti says:

    To “duh”: Tattoos do not drastically change so much after healing. *rolls eyes* The inking is completely different, the better quality one clearly has shading done in where the skin of the “catgirl” is tanned and the other one doesn’t have shading, letting the skin of the person who got the tattoo show through (saving time, saving money but turning into a bad tattoo in the end).

  30. teag says:

    fcuk, you are insanely retarded

  31. Anonymous says:

    Looks like the one on the right just got shipped to rehab. I’d kill the bastard who did that to me.

  32. frostey says:

    Ew… the other one looks like a RAT.

  33. Xavier says:

    THIS is why I’m going to have them outline it in fine point sharpie before they put a fucking tattoo gun on me.

  34. Anonymous says:

    This is sad, because the only real reason the shitty one sucks so much is that the artist tried too hard. It’s a very real problem when untrained artists are attempting to copy work, and I feel for him.
    Though more for the idiot who has that tattooed on their arm forever.

  35. pete smith says:

    Before/After. Parkinson’s is a bitch.

  36. rottilove says:

    This is why I don’t have a tattoo. I’m afraid of getting the one on the right. Even the best artists have an off day.

  37. Phil says:

    FAIL….

    NOT a real tattoo at all.. If you notice the INK is ABOVE the skin… Duh, its Henna, an indian tattoo which can be washed off… Basicly, fake.

    • Shillalala says:

      Tattoos are raised and scabby when they are first done. SO FAIL FOR YOU because this is actually what a tattoo looks like after you get it done.

    • mlh says:

      Henna is a natural pigment and it doesn’t sit above the skin…it actually stains the skin (so it isn’t just wash-off), and since it’s natural(coming from the henna plant), it only comes in colors varying from brown to reddish brown.
      So…this one being discussed is probably a real tattoo, maybe not…but it’s absolutely not henna.

  38. chris says:

    Damn furries. Even on failblog now. What next? Pedos?

  39. MentalFloss says:

    Apparently it hasn’t occurred to anyone that the person with the first tattoo is probably a woman….

    • Matdredalia says:

      THANK YOU! I was just about to mention that. You can even see her leg (obviously female) behind the first catgirl pic. I love how everyone assumes it’s some sleezy guy.

      Regardless of if the person with the tattoo is male or female, it’s a cute picture and they shouldn’t be damned for it.

      Damned stereotypes.

  40. mirror mirror says:

    It’s like the one on the right is the bucktoothed redneck hick inbred cousin of the one on the left!!

  41. art-vader says:

    It could be both the artists worked from the same flash, but it’s obvious which one should start taking the warning on his medication seriously. Also there is the possibility the person on the right just wanted that retro my-tattoo-artist-and-I-was-playing-this-drinking-game feel to it. I’m a tattoo- artist myself, and believe me, I’ve seen much worse (ok not much, but still)

  42. DeFlora says:

    What’s with the nipple/elbow on the bad copy? The whole tattoo on the right makes me want to cry.

  43. trenchtownrock3 says:

    The one on the left is gorgeous, looks like a Jime Litwalk piece? As for the crap-ass one.. Honestly I think the dipshit deserves to have that monstrosity on them for the rest of their life, a) for not going to a reputable artist probably because they thought they’d save a few bucks, and b) FOR BEING SCUMBAG ENOUGH TO FLAT-OUT COPY SOMEONE ELSE’S TATTOO.

  44. moomoo says:

    MOO

    MOO MOO

    MOO MOO MOO

    MOO MOO MOO snork

  45. ry says:

    the tattoo on the right isn’t actually that bad, it just has a different style to it I reckon. more hardcore than the left one which is a bit too cute

  46. kitsch says:

    for the record, the original tattoo was done by joe cappobianco who is an extremely well respected tattoo artist who’s yearly income is higher than any of you can probably count sooo… HATERS FAIL.

  47. Ronald McD says:

    before 40 years…after 40 years.

  48. Brandon says:

    Actually the original artist (one on left) is JOE CAPOBIANCO…he was on miami ink for a few weeks a long time ago and was a very well known artist before his stint on the show.

  49. Brandon says:

    damn maybe i should read the rest of the comments before posting……way to know your artists kitsch!!!

  50. L. B. says:

    The details for the one on the left are a little too fine and sharp for me to believe it’s a tattoo. Unlike some people, I’m not oging to state definitely because I honestly do not know the person or people whose calves are shown in the two photographs.

    I think the one on the left is paint, the one on the right is an actual tattoo. It’s likely that both are the same person. Essentially taking the same design and making it permenant after the paint has worn off.

  51. Fails lol says:

    99th comment! ROFLOLMAO-O-COPTERFTW :D

  52. potatoes says:

    the second one was done by an otter. I’ve seen their work, it always comes out like that. yup, definitely an otter.

  53. tinlv7 says:

    Well, we know who has a vendetta against “Brad Hodges” now, eh?

  54. Failpanda says:

    nice. gay AND herpes to boot? well, aren’t you a lucky bastard? Why don’t you just chill and stop writing bad comments and ruining the site for some people? …wait. Are you bipolar?

  55. delila says:

    haha yea we know…
