Top 10 ugliest celebrity tattoos

Brown hit headlines when he unveiled a tattoo of what looked like a beaten woman on his neck last year. It was immediately being compared to Rihanna, who he beat black and blue in 2009. But he denied it and claimed it was a ‘sugar skull (associated with the Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead) and a MAC cosmetics design’. If there’s only one tasteless tattoo in entire world, it’s this one.

Cheryl decided it was the perfect moment to unveil her gigantic, and rather vulgar, rose tattoo when Girls Aloud kicked off their Ten Tour. Sprawling across her entire lower back, the bold red colour is neither classy nor sexy.

After her gran, Dolly, died last year, Rihanna unveiled a striking new tattoo just underneath her boobs. The inking shows Goddess Isis with her wings spread out. Feeling the need to explain her tat, she tweeted at the time: ‘Goddess Isis- Complete Woman – Model for future generations- #GRANGRANDOLLY – always in and on my heart #1lo.’

Okay, we’ll admit Harry has a nice, erm, body. But getting a butterfly slapped across his ribs is just so not the thing to do. It’s neither manly nor sexy.

Jodie has a sleeve of inkings all over her left arm but the one that stands out for us is the head of Michael Jackson. We understand he’s a legend but this tribute is just plain creepy.

She’d just come out of a rehab stint when Sarah revealed her tacky ‘Don’t Be Bitter – Glitter’ tat. Sprawling across her back, it’s now more recently been flanked by an intricate phoenix design. We think it might be time to stop now, love.

Liam showcased an inking of four chevrons on his right arm pointing towards his hand last year. It supposedly represents his four bandmates, with the arrows pointing in ‘one direction’. Our theory is that the arrows are there so he always remembers which hand to hold his mic in…

Miley has a dream catcher tattooed across the right side of her rib cage. She must be prone to nightmares as the symbol is supposed to stop bad dreams. Her inking looks more like a bunch of tadpoles to us though…

ast year Bieber added an owl to his vast collection of tats. While it might seem rather random, he later explained it had a ‘secret meaning’ that nobody would understand. He’s right there, we don’t think we could ever understand wanting an owl on your arm…

It might not be the most offensive inking, but Demi’s swarm of birds on her right arm doesn’t float our boat. She already had the word ‘Faith’ scrawled on her arm and last year decided to add a collection of small birds nearby. Why? Nobody knows. Perhaps birds give her faith
