Tattoos. An important part of the prison culture. It has become so popular that you can see unexplainable tattoo designs in mugshots before they even go to prison.

So, here is a heads-up for all of you who are thinking of getting a face tattoo. Look at these four mugshots and learn the lessons these fellows clearly skipped.

1. How to make your lips instantly kissable.

Or not. Unless your lady is also involved in gangs or is a big fan of the East Side. One can’t help but wonder what happens if you’re offered a really good job on the West Coast? Laser removal or just grow a classy mustache. It will certainly be a tough decision to make. 

2. It’s not what you think, baby!

Nope, it's not. Manville is actually a borough of Somerset County in New Jersey. But come out of the local area for a day and you’ll be the next star of Sexists Around Us reality show. There is no reality show like that yet, but I’m sure this beautiful forehead will give a producer the idea.

3. A little too old for the devil game.

Now, when exactly in your life did you think it was a good idea to get horn tattoos? They do get a little age-inappropriate after 40. Add those reading glasses into the outfit and now you’re looking confused. 

4. Overslept the tattoo session.

And apparently forgot to tell his tattoo artist when to stop. Otherwise, how can you explain the expressionistic mess on his forehead? Look at those eyes, those are sleepy eyes, those are eyes that betray you in the tattoo salon. 

So, think twice before you ask your tattoo artist to draw something permanent on your face. You can’t hide it, it’s painful to remove it, but it’s free and absolutely painless to use your brains.
