I got a tattoo of a Greek goddess but failed to follow inking rules – now it’s compared to a sex toy

WHILE the design of a tattoo is important, its positioning can also prove vital as one unfortunate woman discovered.

What was supposed to be a statue of a Greek goddess statue was left resembling something far ruder when inked on the woman’s knee.

Reddit users have been mercilessly slamming the design, comparing it to a sex toy[/caption]

Reddit users mercilessly mocked the design after it was posted by someone who claimed to have found it on Instagram.

The picture shows the tattoo of a headless statue under the word “welcome.”

However, the design’s placement on the side of the person’s knee left many confused when looking at the image.

One comment read: “Sh***y dildo tattoo.”

Another added: “Maybe I’m not looking at it right, but it looks sh***y to me. WTF does it say welcome?? I mean if it was on the inner thigh that might make sense.”

A third Reddit user shared an important tattooing rule so the placement doesn’t ruin the design.

They said: “My most recent artist had [me] kneel, stretch and such to see what would happen when I moved…so important bc this could happen.”

Another commentator agreed: “Oof they really should’ve had her sit with the stencil on first wtf.”

Many couldn’t even figure out what the design was supposed to be.

“It’s a greek statue without a head, the top nub is the beginning of its right arm. I hope this helps?” someone explained.

In other bad tattoos news, one Reddit user got an inking of corn dogs-  but it was compared to a lesion and bacteria online.

Meanwhile, a man has warned others about the dangers of getting inked by unlicensed premises after a $20 “homemade tattoo” went horribly wrong.
