Reddit user u/douggold11 recently asked: "What tattoo made you walk away from a person?"
Here's what people said:
1. "The split legs on a dude's armpit."

2. "A guy I worked with showed me his Monster Energy drink tattoo on his back, and he was proud of it."
3. "My ex was a hot guy, but he had a poorly-drawn wolf tattoo on his chest. Omg, it had crossed eyes and a fat weird face, and for some reason, pine trees embedded in the fur. Ugh. Just, whyyy."
4. "Once, when I was on vacation in Belize, I got friendly with a local guy who took me and my wife spearfishing. He took off his shirt at some point on the water and had a tattoo across his chest that had been inexpertly covered over with a big black bar. The tattoo just said, 'RAPIST.' I think there was a date as well. Presumably, he didn't get the ink done himself, and it was done to him, probably in prison. Awkward and looong ride back to shore after that."
5. "An older woman I met had a whole back tiger tattoo. I asked her about it, and she told me she and her sister were both Leos. She had a full back tattoo of the wrong cat."

6. "I once saw a girl with a motorcycle handle bar across her lower back."

7. "My buddy was into this goth girl who was super cute and covered in tats. We saw her one day with her arms uncovered, allowing us to see her full tattoos for the first time. She had Charles Manson on one arm, Adolf Hitler on the other."

8. "I have an ass tatt of a Jack Daniels whiskey bottle (I was young and dumb), and a guy left me immediately after seeing it."
9. "One of the guys at work asked me about the tattoo on my wrist, and we discussed that. I asked him if he got any tattoos, and he said, 'Yeah, but not long. I'm getting it lazered off next weekend.' Then he lifted his shirt and showed me a full stomach piece of a Nazi eagle, swastika, and the words 'mein kampf.' No idea if he was getting it removed because he's changed his ways or because he couldn't take his kids to the beach without wearing a shirt."
10. "Dual lightning bolts on the side of their neck. Good ol' SS tat. No thanks bud, not interested in palling around."

11. "My stepbrother is a full-on m'lady neck beard incel, or at least he was. Somehow, he managed to get a girlfriend, and two weeks later, he had a tattoo on his wrist. It's a date, not the date they got together, so I asked, 'What's the date for?' He tells me, 'It's the day I became a man.' I called him a fucking idiot, they broke up a week later, and he's since had it covered up."

12. "I couldn't really 'walk away' because I was at work, but a customer had a tattoo on his arm of Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. She was on her knees, performing...a sex act on the Tin Man."

13. "My current boss has a tattoo in Chinese that she got when she was 18. What’s it say? 'Italian.'"
14. "I went on a date with a guy who waited until we were halfway through it to tell me he had three children and an Insane Clown Posse tattoo. He asked me if I wanted to go out again, and I declined. He asked if it was the kids or the tattoo, and I had to be honest. It was the tattoo."
15. "A coworker who went through a bad breakup then came back to work with a tattoo of a topless woman with a noose around her neck. He was ordered to keep it covered at work. It was that offensive."
16. "At a dive bar in the midwest a few years ago, I met this woman in her 40s with a large tramp stamp bearing all of the signatures of the members of the boy band Hanson (you know, the guys who sang 'MMMBop'). She was GLOWING with pride and went on to tell me about how she saw them in concert a few years prior, paid an exorbitant amount for backstage passes, managed to get all of their signatures, went to a 24-hour tattoo shop afterward, and got them all tattooed on that night. She was in her 30s when she did this, by the way. I just sat there kinda shocked, finished my drink, and quickly left."
17. "My deceased uncle had a prison-looking tat of a nude woman with his nipple as one of her nipples. He was a classy guy like that."
