* A major plot point in ''Anime/{{Photon}}'' is that the eponymous character and the female lead both have the same tattoo [[FaceDoodling written on their foreheads]] in ''magic'' magic marker, so it's totally permanent. Having matching drawings like this is [[AccidentalMarriage akin to a marriage proposal]]. The embarrassing part is that the tattoo reads ''UsefulNotes/{{Baka}}'' -- Japanese for "idiot".

* Creator/DaveBautista used to have Creator/MannyPacquiao's team logo tattooed on his left forearm, but after Pacquiao's homophobia convinced Bautista to quit the team, he covered up the logo with a female {{calaca|s}}'s skull. When Bautista showed off his tattoos to ''GQ'', he didn't even refer to Pacquiao by name when explaining this one.

*"The VideoGame/{{Juiced}} game's teaser had the game's logo branded onto the unfortunate woman's right buttock with a close up of her exposed rear after stripping her down to her [[ThongofShielding g-string]]. They then give her a [[FlirtatiousSmackOnTheAss butt a slap that visably jostles the woman]] as the ad ends.

* Downplayed in ''Film/Paddington2'': The inmate Knuckles rather redundantly has knuckles tattooed on his knuckles, which is the least of it - it's spelled "Nuckel's" and the letters have been put on the wrong hands, so he has to cross his wrists to show it. But he's also so feared among the prison population that no one ever makes fun of him for it, not does he show any embarrassment himself.

* Youtuber WebVideo/TheAngryGrandpa was [[https://youtu.be/N6u_VOe9spw?si=_caCzj6Gt7T5GwGy tricked into getting one of these from his son.]] He thought he was going to get a tramp-stamp of a shovelhead Harley motorcycle, but he got a biohazard with "MY ASS STINKS" instead. [[DudeNotFunny Grandpa didn't take it well, and it lead to a pretty bad falling-out between the two.]]

* ''Series/YouMeHer'': Jack, Izzy, and Emma get tatoos early into season 2 after drinking too much due to losing their patience with how their relationship won't be tolerated by their respective friends. The tattoo in question has their initials, "EJI", which they pronounce "[[FunWithAcronyms edgy]]".

Consistency with the main page; I figured it might help to capitalize "Lips" when it refers to the DQ Lips character.


* ''Advertising/DairyQueenLips'': In a Mother's Day ad, the lips show off a tattoo they got on their tongue, a heart that's supposed to say "mom" but reads "mim" instead. They immediately remark "Who the heck is Mim?"

* A not-so-rare real-life example is the infamous practice of getting a lover's name tattooed since it can become a bitter reminder of their failed relationship, which happened so often that many people believe the practice jinxes relationships. Most artists have strict policies of what names they'll do (i.e. only the customer's children, pets, or a dead loved one) because they don't want an irate customer later blaming them.

* In 2020, a [=TikTok=] trend involved getting a tattoo of the letter Z with a horizontal line through the middle (Ƶ). At the time, it was supposed to represent the pride of being generation z, as well as symbolize rebellion and unity. However, the tattoo strongly resembled a ''wolfsangel rune'', something that was used by the 2nd SS Panzer Division of Nazi Germany. The girl who started the trend apologised profusely and broke down crying as [[HanlonsRazor she genuinely did not know the history of the symbol]] and because she was receiving death threats because of this mistake. The damage was already done because thousands of [=TikTok=] users got the tattoo before they did the research.
