People With Questionable Taste Who Executed Their Ideas Perfectly (But Probably Shouldn’t Have)

#37: That’s Technically a Mermaid, Right?

Tattoos are such a personal choice, so it’s hard to fault someone when they go against the grain, but let’s be honest. This design is a travesty. Not the drawing itself – the execution is pretty neat; the lines are crisp and professional, but I’m a bit concerned about the person that chose this as permanent art on their leg.

Reverse-mermaids aren’t anything new. In 1935, René Magritte depicted one in “Collective Invention,” a painting that somehow remains popular to this day. In the 1970s, a tabloid hoax used a grainy photographic image of that painting to claim one had been found in real life. Maybe this is an ode to the oddities?
