Words written backwards on your forehead or chest
Yeah, we get it: this way, you’ll be able to read them when you look in the mirror. But you’ll look like an idiot, no matter what the words say.

Rock band names
These are only acceptable if you are actually a member of the band and the band has at least a couple of albums in stores. NOTE: roadies and groupies do not qualify as “members of the band.”

Bullet holes
You know those window decals that make it look like someone shot your window? Yeah, the ones that were so novel the first time you saw them, but not the second.

Chinese symbol
Even if you’ve researched it, even if you are in fact Chinese, others will always see it as a sign of your touristic foray into Buddhism.

Tribal bands
As was the case with “Rock band names,” these look ridiculous unless you actually are an active member of a Native American tribe. And even then, it’s doubtful you’ll be able to pull it off.

Anything on your lower abdomen
I know this is a location rather than a tattoo design, but I have to include it. Ladies, especially: this is going to look horrible in another 15-20 years (or less, if you have children).

Anchors
Though these are so cliché that they are sort of retro-cool in a wannabe sort of way.

Any other person’s name
Maybe your own child’s name, but that of anyone else is a bad idea … no matter how certain you are that you will spend the rest of your life with your significant other.
