Bloke shows off ‘graveyard beard’ tattoo but people call it a ‘nightmare come to life’ & warn he’ll never work again
A MAN has left people stunned after proudly showing off his new “graveyard beard” tattoo.
The bloke had taken to Facebook to boast about the latest addition to his ink collection – a huge graveyard which spanned from one ear, over the chin and to the other ear.
On his right side, there was also a picture of a huge, gnarly tree, which went all the way up to his cheekbone.
Other images included in the design were gravestones, crosses, an RIP tomb and a pair of gates – which sat directly on his chin.
Despite clearly being thrilled with his new ink, the man ended up “fighting for his life in the comments”, according to someone who posted the snaps on Reddit’s S**ty Tattoos thread.
“People are telling him to get it touched up by a different artist,” the poster added, “and clowning anyone who says it’s not incredible”.
Faced with the complaints, the guy then responded “it’s freshly done, it just needs to heal”, the Redditer said.
But unsurprisingly, people commenting on the Reddit post were equally harsh about the tattoo, with many insisting he’d struggle to get a job with such a bold inking.
“Look REAL close and you can see his future buried in that mess…” one wrote.
“Any semblance of a normal life depends on whether he could grow a beard to hide it,” another said.
“Man, wish I also had enough money that I could never be employable again,” a third sighed.
While others took aim at the tattoo artist who had inked him, with one writing: “The concept is… interesting at least.
“But the execution (and it’s a murder) is horrendous, just artless.”
“RIP to his face lol,” another said.
“I always say people with face tattoos are usually not good decision makers,” a third commented.
“This just proves the point. God damn!”
“Yeah the actual ink has terrible design and no subtlety,” another wrote.
“Could have been great in the right context but that ain’t it.”
Which tattoos hurt the most?
Depending on what part of your body you choose to ink, tattoos can range significantly in terms of pain levels.
Some of the most painful areas are those where the skin tends to be thinner or closer to the bone.
Each area has specific factors which contribute to the level of pain.
Ribcage: Thin skin, little muscle, and many nerve endings.
Feet and ankles: Many bones, tendons, and nerve endings close to the surface.
Hands and fingers: Many bones, tendons, and nerve endings, resulting in increased pain during tattooing. Knuckles can be especially painful.
Spine: Proximity of the spinal cord and nerve endings makes it sensitive. Tattooing directly over the vertebrae can be especially painful.
Knees and elbows: Thin skin and little padding between the skin and the underlying bones.
Armpits and groin: High concentration of nerve endings and lymph nodes.
Neck and throat: Thin and sensitive skin, with many nerve endings and blood vessels close to the surface.

“Makes your worst nightmares come to life! (For everybody else),” another commented.
“How can the tombstone already look infected?” someone else questioned.
