Tattoos are pretty cool. They can be positive or negative, or edgy and unique. Most of the time they make for great conversation starters. Other tattoos can be a fad and outdated like tribal tattoos that were all the rage in the 90s. In the case of the ones we are about to show you, the could have been edited or covered up so many times that they have totally lost their original meanings.

How many times can one guy find the girl of his dreams? One thing we can say about this guy is that he seems to jump into love with blind faith. Here is to hoping that Laura ends up being a real keeper.

At least we know that at one time this young lady loved Andy with all of her heart. Why else would she have had his name tattooed on her back? Sadly, it looks like Andy ended up being a real jerk.

One of the reasons why people want to get tattoo cover-ups is that they plain and simple grew up. This girl obviously outgrew her Hello Kitty phase and decided to go for a more adult look. It is not exactly the best cover-up job, but if she likes it, we love it.

Maybe she should have gone with a total removal instead of a cover-up. You can see in her first cover-up that the heart is not doing a good job of hiding her red playboy bunny, and the newest version just looks like a hot mess.

Nothing is more romantic than a guy tattooing your name on his body except for maybe getting your portrait instead. It looks like the pair must have broken up and he turned his angel into a devil.

We know now that cover-ups can go sideways and leave you with a bigger mess than you had intended. Instead of covering up the original Pikachu that looks like it was drawn by a child, they incorporated it into a much cooler tattoo.

Religious tattoos are always popular, but what happens when you decided to turn Atheist and you have a huge cross on your arm? In my opinion, the first tattoo looks like it was done by a very unoriginal artist, and the cover-up was done by someone who was much more creative.

It looks like this guy really loved his Hyundai. However, it looks like he may no longer have that car or perhaps grew out of having that low-rider with undercarriage lights and flashy rims. While his new tattoo has done its job by covering the old car emblem, but what is it?

This is probably the worst tattoo cover up that I have ever seen. I don't know what was underneath, but it must have been pretty bad to get a tattoo that looks like it was scribbled with a sharpie in order to cover it up.

Here is another one trying to erase the love of his past. The only difference between this one and some of the others that we have shown you so far is that this one does a great job at covering the old ink.

I cannot make up my mind on which was worse. While the flower definitely looks better on the cover-up, the girl's face was better before it was redone...unless he was going for the Chris Brown look.

Whoever did this better not be a professional. My kid could have done a better job covering up the tattoo with some colorful sharpie markers. This one is just a hot mess.

Black is a color you have to be very careful with. If you want a panther, ask the artist for examples of others that he has done successfully. This one is going to be a black blob in a few more years.

I cannot even say that the first tattoo is good. The shading in her face is too dark, so now I wonder if they broke up or the guy just came to his senses about the original tattoo being a bad resemblance to Jennifer. I am thinking we are leaning towards breakup as her name is clearly missing from the bottom of the final picture.
