10 of the Worst Hunting-Themed Tattoos You’ll Ever See
Tattoos can be wonderful forms of self-expression and symbols of friendship and can make our bodies into living canvases. However, some images should never have left the tattoo gun in the first place. Hunting- and fishing-themed tattoos are pretty awful—just like killing defenseless animals in the name of “sport” or to “control the wildlife population,” which isn’t even necessary. Here are some of the Internet’s worst hunting- and fishing-themed tattoos:
This tattoo that helps Chad S. remember his name:
Because nothing says, “Nice to meet you. My name is …,” like a sharp hook used for violently piercing the mouths of fish.

This tattoo that tells us the meaning of love:

“What does love mean to you?” “Sharp fish hooks and dismembered deer parts … just off the top of my head.”

Hunting Is Killing
Once upon a time (like, prehistoric times), hunting may have been necessary for survival—or not. But most hunters today stalk and kill animals just for the thrill of it. This tears animal families apart, orphans babies, and leaves many victims to suffer for days when hunters injure but fail to kill animals. In this day and age, hunting is completely unnecessary—just like these tattoos.
