Lauryn's List: The Most Overdone Tats, According To Tattoo Artists

Fun Fact: Cody Alan, Producer Curt, and Lauryn Snapp are tattoo virgins. Inkless. 

Is this crew too chicken to commit to a tattoo or just not creative enough to come up with a tattoo that is not on the list of "Overdone Tats, According to Tattoo Artists?" The answer could be both. 

Cody jokes and says he would get a microphone on his forehead. Lauryn has contemplated inking a mountain range on her rib cage or forearm. Producer Curt would prefer to keep it minimal and has considered adding the outline of Tennessee somewhere that is easily hidden. 

Are Cody, Lauryn, and Producer Curt's ideas on the "Overdone Tat List?" Buzzfeed several professional tattoo artists what tats they think are totally "overdone," and they were more than happy to chime in. Here's what they shared: 

Overdone tats include:

  • "The Deathly Hallows symbol from the Harry Potter series."
  • "The outlines of mountains." (Sorry, Lauryn.)
  • "Any kind of Disney movie quote or something written in the Disney font."
  • An infinity symbol, especially on someone's wrist".
  • "Wrist or back tattoos with inspirational words like 'faith' and 'just breathe'"
  • "Little sun/moon combos."
  • "A matching tattoo where one person has half of the yin and yang symbol, and the other person has the other half."
  • "Anything on the side of a finger."
  • "A tiny tattoo of something nautical, like a single wave or an anchor on their wrist."
  • "A literary quote that covers the person's whole arm."
  • "A cluster of tiny music symbols on someone's wrist or ankle."
  • "A tattoo of Chip from Beauty and the Beast on the person's shoulder, specifically so they can say they have a chip on their shoulder."
