The &#8220;C&#8221; alone is large enough to have its own gravitational pull, ensuring that everyone in a five-mile radius knows exactly who she is dating. Let\u2019s just hope Charles is &#8220;the one,&#8221; because covering up a name the size of a dinner plate is going to be an expensive nightmare.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1391\" src=\"https:\/\/popflip.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Stve-233x300.png\" alt=\"regrettable tattoos\" width=\"233\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/popflip.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Stve-233x300.png 233w, https:\/\/popflip.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Stve-794x1024.png 794w, https:\/\/popflip.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Stve-768x990.png 768w, https:\/\/popflip.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Stve.png 1010w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 233px) 100vw, 233px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This one is a masterclass in confusion. Is it a tribute to Steve, a declaration of love, or a cry for help? The shattered heart and the bizarre attempt to potentially turn &#8220;STEVE&#8221; into &#8220;LOVE&#8221; (or vice-versa) results in a design that is as broken as the relationship it probably commemorates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1386\" src=\"https:\/\/popflip.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/adby-236x300.png\" alt=\"regrettable tattoos\" width=\"236\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/popflip.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/adby-236x300.png 236w, https:\/\/popflip.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/adby-804x1024.png 804w, https:\/\/popflip.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/adby-768x978.png 768w, https:\/\/popflip.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/adby.png 994w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 236px) 100vw, 236px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is it &#8220;Toby,&#8221; &#8220;Idby,&#8221; or a scramble of letters only the wearer understands? The typography is confusing enough, but that solid, heavy grey heart looks less like a symbol of romance and more like a sinkhole where love goes to die. Hopefully, the paw print implies this tribute is for a loyal pet, because that shading is truly unfortunate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1388\" src=\"https:\/\/popflip.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/courtney-225x300.png\" alt=\"regrettable tattoos\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/popflip.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/courtney-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/popflip.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/courtney-767x1024.png 767w, https:\/\/popflip.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/courtney-768x1026.png 768w, https:\/\/popflip.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/courtney.png 948w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting a partner&#8217;s name tattooed is risky enough, but putting it on the side of your head takes the danger to a whole new level. Between the massive &#8220;Courtney&#8221; script shaved into his hairline and the permanent lipstick mark on his neck, this guy has effectively turned his skull into a walking billboard for his relationship. If things go south, he\u2019s going to need a lot of hats or a very creative barber.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1389\" src=\"https:\/\/popflip.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/dalton-168x300.png\" alt=\"regrettable tattoos\" width=\"168\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/popflip.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/dalton-168x300.png 168w, https:\/\/popflip.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/dalton-572x1024.png 572w, https:\/\/popflip.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/dalton.png 710w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 168px) 100vw, 168px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Face tattoos are a bold choice for any profession, but vertically listing your boyfriend&#8217;s name on your cheek is a move few are brave enough to make.
