Since it’s Clown Week, I thought we could take a moment to salute that O.G. Juggalo himself: The Joker.

And, thanks to the success of The Dark Knight and the fact that these days people will celebrate anything by getting a tattoo (just ask my “Shoe Week at Ross” tramp stamp), there is no shortage of Joker tattoos.

“Why so serious?” you ask? Oh, I’m sorry. Do I look serious? I was going for horrified.

Even Courtney Love is getting in on the action! She looks better than she has in years.

Copy & paste this:


The first two get a “A” for effort, the last two are crap. I just saw the Dark Knight on tv the other day again, and man, Heath Ledger sure was amazing. He is truly missed, and if these first two tattoos are a tribute to him, then good on ya.
I agree the first two are well done. BUT I don’t think they are good enough to be in your skin for the rest of your life. Get a poster to remember him by! Buy his movies… make a shrine! (Not that I have a shrine of Heather Ledger *shifty eyes*)
Having a tattoo of the joker that big on your back is rediculous and not to mention really disturbing.
who the hell is heather ledger??
Thank you zombiekim! His best work was under the name Heather Ledger. *rolls eyes* Sheesh I thought everyone knew that. (tears down shrine for spelling name wrong)
You see these tattoos? See them? Yeah. THESE ARE THE REASON WE CANNOT HAVE NICE THINGS!
Win!
I CANNOT TAKE ANY MORE CLOWNS. Call me when it’s unicorns shitting rainbows week.
Didn’t that already happen this year?
Did it? Dammit, I missed it!
Didn’t the Joker turn all angsty and evil because his face got modified in a terrifying way? You’d think terrifying body mods might be a cautionary tale in that case, but maybe these folks are hoping to turn evil.
Sad I missed Shoe Week at Ross.
pssssst…. It is called “irony”.
It is never quite as good if you have to explain it.
I’m more freaked out by that craptastical arm-band in the second picture. What the hell is that?
is it just me or does the armpit hair of the first one come down really low?
Sure does; let’s hope it’s a dude.
to me, that looks like an inner elbow, not armpit.
I liked the movie, but in another 10 years these guys are going to have to shuffle to the back of the bus with the dudes that have a Jack Nicholson Joker tattoo to make room for the influx of morons with tattoos of the Joker from the next Batman reset.
The first tattoo looks like The Joker’s craggy old father.
#1 couldn’t be Robert Plant, could it?
#1 – Mayor Ed Koch as The Joker
#2 – Heath Ledger as The Joker, doing the infamous Spock one eyebrow raised thing
#3 – Why so cheap? Next time, pay more than twenty fucking dollars, you cheap fuck!
#4 – Mick Jagger and Courtney Love get together one Friday the 13th, and…
Hahahah, it does look like Ed Koch! Good eye!
What is with #3′s armpit? Disgusting atrophied flesh? Aiiieeee!!! *runs away while flailing arms over head*. Why would you draw attention to that area?
Turn you head to the left, my fine friend; that tat [to me] appears to be on a calf. So that would be someone’s nasty, fungal-infected back-of-thigh/back-of-knee. Which, sadly, is more common than you think…
I concur. That is a thigh/knee/calf shot. Not a pit.
I say bicep and that indeed, that is one hairy armpit.
If you’re going to get a Joker tattoo, get something that won’t go out of style, like the original comic book version or something. Heath Ledger’s Joker, although great, was only in one movie.
#3 is the worst depiction of the Joker I’ve seen. And what, 2 1/2 fingers? What a joke.
#4 kinda looks like Mick Jagger.
I…
I just…
What?
No seriously, what? God, people, I understand the appeal of a Joker tattoo. I am a Joker fan. I myself have contemplated a Joker tattoo. But for the love of all that is holy, he is *scary enough*. There is *no need* to make him *any scarier*. What crack-fueled artist drew three and four? Ick. The garish colors on four don’t help, it’s like someone took a look at Comic!Joker and thought those colors would look good on Ledger!Joker, too. One word for that: NO. What’s wrong with his eyes, does he have eye lasers now?
Two’s kinda cool, actually. The first one looks like the Joker’s retarded cousin. In fact, I think it may be. I shall name him Melvin.
I can see the exchange now:
Batman: I have you now, Joker! Wait… who are you?
Melvin: Heehee!
Joker: Yeah, that’s Melvin. He’s, uh, my half-brother… we don’t talk about him much…
Heath isn’t spinning in his grave anymore. He’s actively banging his head against the lid of his coffin. There’s too much fail here to warrant spinning violently or even a simple facepalm.
I dunno, I like the 2nd one down. It’s nice that instead having “douche” tattooed across his back he has a tattoo that says it in a picture. Nice when I don’t have to explain to the kids what douche means. Just saying…
[...] Ugliest Tattoos, who’s surprised I ultimately dismissed my “hairy nipples automatically make everything [...]
It almost looks like #4 started out as a random tattoo of lips, and the guy later decided to put them in context by having a Joker tattooed around them. That’s the only possible explanation I can think of for the Joker having such ladylike lips.
i actually kind of know the guy in the second picture and for the record, that tattoo wasn’t finished when the picture was taken. not really fair to judge the quality of an unfinished tattoo.
