No Regrets: The Best, Worst, & Most #$%*ing Ridiculous Tattoos Ever Paperback – May 20, 2008

4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 68 ratings

Dr. Phil, Gay Unicorns, and Jesus Christ...

They're all tattooed on someone's ass. Or face, or whatever. Remember that time you were wasted and thought it would be a good idea to get a tattoo on your leg of Maury Povich shaking hands with Sasquatch, but your friends talked you out of it at the last second? Well, some people don't have any friends...

Aviva Yael and P. M. Chen spent a year going to tattoo conventions and tattoo studios all over the country, chasing, stalking, e-mailing, calling, interviewing, ambushing, and hunting down whomever they could in order to find the most insane tattoos out there. What started out as a joke in a bar became a year-long tattoo safari that's presented here in all its full color, balls-to-the-wall, train-wreck/beauty-pageant glory.

Review

"Either I'm dumb or super advanced, but the tattoo of the dinosaur wearing the fanny pack is pretty amazing. I don't think of NO REGRETS as a joke book actually--it's an ideas book. Is getting a light-bulb tattooed on my forehead pushing it? I didn't think so either. Thanks guys!"―Lesley Arfin, Vice magazine columnist and author of Dear Diary

"This book truly lives up to its title. It's a hilarious compendium of extraordinarily bad decisions that last FOREVER. If you ever thought of getting tattoo of a beef-chicken, Michael Moore, or an ejaculating penis, maybe after reading this book you'll think again. I laughed, I cried, I gawked. But mostly I just gawked and laughed. Actually I only gawked and laughed."―
Michael Showalter, comedian

"These are the best tattoos I've ever seen. There's more creativity collected in this book than in an entire episode of
Dancing with the Stars."―Nick Zarin-Ackerman, usician, The Virgins

"If you buy this book and have it lying around your dorm room, people will probably stop in, glance at it, and f**k you as a quick 'thanks' for sharing something so cool."―
Eugene Mirman, comedian

"You should buy this book and then get a tattoo of it on yourself. Seriously. This book is hilarious!"―
Demetri Martin, comedian, The Daily Show

Great book. Love the pictures of all the crazy tattoos. Never gets old looking at the tats. Makes you think twice before getting a tattoo.
Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2011
I really enjoyed this book. I got it as a present for my boyfriend and we looked at it together and laughed. The captions are great, the tattoos are great. Overall, a good buy.

My main takeaway from this book is that I am right to be hesitant about getting a tattoo. Good coffee table/browsing kind of book but yikes.
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2008
I expected a little more story to each Tat, but this book was great to sit around at work and laugh at peoples misfortune. I look forward to a sequel.
I recommend this to someone that has a slightly twisted sense of humor. Bring it out when your hangin out drinkin. It is mainly a picture book.

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2011
After finishing  Tattoo Machine: Tall Tales, True Stories, and My Life in Ink , I was looking for more tattoo related reading and came across this book.

20 minutes later I felt like I had just thrown $9.99 out the window and felt compelled to write my first ever book review on Amazon in order to prevent others from making the same mistake that I just did. The description, as well as some of the reviews, made me believe that what I was buying was a collection of tattoos and the stories behind them. What I got was a short intro, followed by a bunch of mixed quality images of tattoos with single line caption beneath them. Many of these images are available on the web I had already come across them. I have honestly written blog posts about tattoos with more content than this so-called "book" and I'm not charging money for people to read them. There are plenty of free websites out there with a higher quantity and quality of bad tattoo photos.

The author claims to have spent a full year traveling to tattoo shops and conventions, emailing and interviewing to find these tattoos. Where is the evidence of a single interview? All I see is pictures and captions that could have been made up without ever speaking to the person with the tattoo.

I regret buying this book more than I regret any of my tattoos. Save your money and tip your tattoo artist an extra $10 next time you get inked.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny novelty book that makes you laugh and wonder 'what were they thinking!'
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 3, 2018
I purchased this as a secret santa gift for a colleague who likes tattoos. It's a really funny book showing some outrageous tattoos that people have. This is a great novelty gift, or even a good book to have in the downstairs loo to pass some time ;)
I would recommend
