Ugliest Tattoos: Bad, Awful & Horrible tattoos

I Think I Just “Lost” My Appetite

This is Shannon. From Lost. She

Submitted by: His facebook. via Submission Page

I’ve never watched Lost. And I probably never will, since I’m sure that, by the time it’s all on DVD and I get around to putting it in my queue, I’ll have heard about whatever the big reveal is in the course of everyday conversation since people NEVER SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT LOST.

Anyway, I know nothing about the show, aside from the presumable premise of some people getting lost and that this one lady is apparently very sad about her J.C. Penney wardrobe, so I won’t comment on this tattoo.

    … Did she have a stroke?

  2. Moose says:

    This looks like Ally McBeal

  3. avclay says:

    Thank you. Now I have her grating screams from that episode running through my head. Augh.

  4. Danielle says:

    Why is Allie McBeal crying? I know, I hated that stupid dancing baby too.

  5. sneeky pete says:

    i watch lost religiously (and won’t shut the fuck up about it), but i honestly have no clue who this is supposed to be. a little help?

    • NoUglyTats says:

      Shannon. She didn’t even make it out of Season 1, did she?

      • Whitney says:

        No, she died around the middle of the second season. More towards the end. Boone didn’t make it to the second season.

        • MD says:

          when she got shot was a happy day. And it was season two because it was Anna Lucia who shot her. Who I was happy then got shot later one. But I felt bad that Libby got shot as well eventually. The only person that deserved to get shot was Ethan…Wait what were we talking about again?

    • Zangan says:

      It’s Shannon right after the plane crash

    How long do pop culture references have to sit before they are not going to be regretted tattoos. I have a movie image on my arm. However, the movie was made in 1902 (Melies – a trip to the moon). I warn against rock band tattoos because we all know that rock bands can betray you, but James Brown cannot any longer, so is he okay? Any opinions?

    • Melissa says:

      He is a legend no doubt. Hahaaa I just had an image of a shoulder w/ his mug shot tattooed on it. Sorry, it just popped in my head.

    • jamisings says:

      While James Brown was good, I think a Buddy Holly tattoo would be better. He changed music, inspired tons of other future musicians including The Beatles, and just make this huge impact in a too short life.

        • Danny-B says:

          I dunno. So Buddy and the Beatles and whoever else were very influential and they probrbly won’t have the opportunity to screw up their legacy now that they’re dead (I’ll just go ahead and pretend that all of the Beatles are dead..), but why get a tatto of somebody famous?? I loved David Hasselhoff when I was 16 (yes, I’m German, judge my music-tase all you like) but I’m very glad I didn’t get a tatt of his (awesome) flabby body on my back. You might argue that the Hoff, isn’t dead, but I think he kinda is..

    • LuckyCat says:

      Your tattoo sounds pretty f’ing awesome. Is it the moon with the rocket in his eye?

    • Noelegy says:

      Is it the image of the rocket stuck in the moon’s eye? Because that would be awesome.

    • Camilla says:

      I love “A Trip to the Moon”!

      (Well, you asked for opinions)

  7. Nerte says:

    I don’t know how to vote here. Thumb up or down if it’s really stupid tattoo?

  8. Kit says:

    JESUS H CHRIST A ZOMBIE RIPPED HER MOUTH PARTWAY OFF AND SHE HAS A CHITINOUS, JOINTED TORSO

    • Anna Rexia says:

      Well, that was an interesting “new thing to learn each day” thing. I’d never seen or heard the word “chitinous” before and had to look it up. I’m disappointed now; I took honours biology and never encountered the word. I want my money back.

  9. enamy says:

    she looks like someone gave her a chelsea smile on one side.

  10. Melissa says:

    I don’t get it at all. It’s a lost preson or reference? I never watched it.
    Just looks like an unfortunate person with bell’s palsy.

    • Melissa says:

      person. My proofreading like my typing, sucks.

      • enamy says:

        it’s shannon when they first crash-landed. she is shown several times in flashbacks like this throughout the seasons.

        • LLCat says:

          Shannon died a while ago on the show, which may explain why this person forgot the actor was NOT Sarah Michelle Gellar. And come on, Shannon? Of all the people on Lost?! She was just annoying.

    • markiemaypo says:

      Lol to your reference to bell’s palsey.Really not to mock .I saw the tat and snickered at it and then saw your post and really laughed because you named what I was searching for.hehehe.Good one.

  11. HerroDerr says:

    Well, it’s a great representation of the character, I mean, all Shannon ever does is stand around crying, and screaming…so…well played?
    The show isn’t even over yet, and people are already getting giant, crazy tattoos of fairly minor characters? Wait…does this justify my Artie (from Glee) tattoo?

  12. holly says:

    It’s actually not that bad. Compared to this screen shot.
    still weird to have though

    • Bettie says:

      Yeah, not that bad except that her mouth appears to be melting.

      • Bettie says:

        And that the tattooed image is of a girl with a much flatter chest and a bigger stomach. Shannon, being the superficial bee-yotch that she was, is rolling in her grave, I’m sure.

  13. ZeusJuptier says:

    Hmph. I thought it was Janis Joplin.

  14. Yes says:

    I watch “Lost” and this doesn’t look like anyone. If this is Shannon, why? She’s been dead for a long time and Claire, though crazy, is the hottest blonde.

  15. Jewels says:

    I don’t think this is a LOST person. The only blonde with that hair on the show looks nothing like her, and never made that face, that I can remember.

    I think it’s Ally McBeal and the person who got it is too ashamed so they are claiming it’s a LOST character so they look more culturally relevant. What are they going to claim it’s a tattoo of when LOST ends in a few weeks?

  16. lizzie says:

    shannon had asthma, not diabetes. and agreed on a terrible choice, she was as pointless as nikki and paulo.

  17. jesi says:

    why why why, of all the characters/moments on lost, would you get this tattoo? and why is shannons outfit an exact replica [although her skirt looks way disproportionate] but it looks nothing like her. buffy was never on lost… and buffy never had a stroke… confused. maybe in the future sarah michelle gellar gets a bad botox job and blubbers about it? TATTOOS CAN PREDICT THE FUTURE.

  18. Zangan says:

    Im going through the comments and I see an ad for laser tattoo removal. Coincidence? John Locke: “Don’t mistake coincidence for fate.”

  19. Larry Cathey says:

    Awwww….my comment was deleted apparently

  20. Elizabeth says:

    It looks like the challenges my sister and I have: we watch a movie we’ve seen a thousand times, and try to pause on the most embarrassing frame imaginable.

  21. K ras says:

    Looks kinda like a partially zombified Mary Jane from Spiderman.

  22. Blake says:

    Does anyone else think this tattoo is amazingly well done? I’ve never seen lost so I thought it was Alley Mcbeal with a joker smile. But minus that it looks very realistic.

    • Bettie says:

      I respectfully disagree, for three main reasons.

      1st point: The tattooer clearly couldn’t understand shading very well, because the original image had a shadow under the mouth that kind of dropped down a bit – and the tattoo, while missing the shadow, has the mouth itself doing that little dip thing, which makes it look like she’s just had a stroke.

      2nd point: the body is too short for the head. She looks like a bobble head. It’s like the original image wouldn’t quite fit, so they just smooshed the body to make it shorter and hoped no one would notice.

      3rd point: The source image has a jet turbine in the background. The tattoo has a big blue blob that sort of looks like a jet turbine, but also looks like the tattooer was intimidated by doing all those straight lines, and so gave up and tried to give it a blurry, impressionistic look. He’s not fooling me with that ploy – it’s just lazy.

      I do, however, appreciate the white that was used throughout the shading – makes it look the the sun is shining on Shannon. That’s the only part that makes me think that the tattooer at least was apprenticed by someone and didn’t just tattoo their buddy in the back of someone’s van.

  23. NickH says:

    Shannon was indeed as annoying as all hell.
    Props to Sayid for hitting that though.
    BIGGER props to Anna-Lucia for shooting her!

  24. Elizabeth says:

    I don’t see the Ally McBeal thing at all… Personally, I think it looks like a retarded Sara Paxton. Definitely awful either way.

  25. Omi-san says:

    Bottom lip is messed up.

  26. Noelegy says:

    I love the show “24″ but am not about to get a tattoo of Jack Bauer growling “TELL ME WHERE THE BOMB IS!”

  27. teedee says:

    Is this air brushed or a tattoo? Don’t look like a tattoo.

  28. blsm says:

    “You’re in my light, Sticks”

  29. Denice says:

    C’mon! Isn’t that Hannah Montana?

  30. Henning says:

    she looks like Peter griffin in the episode when he has a stroke..

    to qutoe the rowing team in the episode

    Stroke, Stroke Stroke

    Peter: stop making fun of me

  31. Jordan says:

    I never would have gotten Lost from this in a million years. It’s redundant to say on this site, but what a bizarre choice.

  32. Belsak says:

    when did Shannon have Palsy on the island?

  33. Miss Shegas says:

    I like a lotta lumps!

  34. Reekie says:

    OMG, IT IS LEG OF THE LOST!

  35. Sherri says:

    I actually think this tat is awesome, until her weird-looking skirt and when her legs disappear into nothing.

  36. tduck says:

    I watch Lost religiously and thought it was Ally McBeal.

    But, here’s the photo this is taken from:
    http://z.about.com/d/lost/1/0/X/S/-/-/shannon.png

  37. Noelegy says:

    You know, every single tattoo on this site makes sense if you just think to yourself that it’s the result of losing a bet.

    • Elizabeth says:

      I usually use that argument to console myself… Unfortunately, I know that not all of these can be the results of losing bets.

  38. Rico says:

    It’s definitely Shannon from LOST, as I’ve only just started watching the series as I have a friend who’s obsessed with it. Just after the plane crashes she’s standing on the beach crying, it’s the same clothes and everything. She was rubbish though, really dull.

  39. Viper says:

    as a Lost fan, I feel the need to step up and say: Why the HELL would anyone get a tattoo of SHANNON??

  40. Hales says:

    I thought it was Kirsten Dunst…

  41. Kylias says:

    Gods, Shannon was one of my least favourite, next to Nikki and Paolo. She’s a close third, and she’d be my least favourite if it weren’t for the fact that they were so sloppily thrown in for the sake of getting Miles his money. Pathetically enough, I almost instantly recognized Shannon’s BAWWWW face. I’m glad she hasn’t shown up in the Sideways Timeline yet. :c

  42. GAAAHHH! WHAT’S WRONG WITH HER FACE??? Of all the pictures of this character that are surely available everywhere, why would anyone choose this one?? It’s ugly and unflattering, and there it is, memorialized forever on some idiot’s leg.

  43. Josh says:

    This is my tattoo. This picture was taken 30 minutes after I got it done. It’s on my arm. Not my leg. Her mouth peeled off during the healing process and I’ve since got it touched up. I’m glad you all hate it. It’s not on your body. It’s on mine. And I fucking love it.

    • Lexxy says:

      I’d love to see a pic of it touched up to see if it looks any better, because the mouth is really my only complaint
