The Top 12 Worst Celebrity Tattoo Ideas
1. Perhaps because explaining to the kids, "Daddy likes a little booze now and then," is slightly less awkward than, "Daddy used to be friends with a lady named Winona," Johnny Depp's "Wino Forever" tattoo, which he notoriously changed from its original incarnation of "Winona Forever," has a forever home in the book of celebrity tattoo infamy.

As the following stars can attest, the coming-of-age course in Hollywood pretty much requires you to emblazon some completely inane thing on your skin for the rest of eternity. But who has the absolute worst celebrity tattoos? Let's needle through (zing!) the worst tat-spiration borne in the seedy shops of the Sunset Strip.
12. Amy Winehouse's gas-station-attendant-style chest tattoo tribute to onetime husband Blake Fielder-Civil displays her true tendencies toward commitment and greasy fingers.
11. We assume that Nicole Richie's "Richie" neck tattoo is a loving father/daughter tribute to her "Dancing on the Ceiling" dad, Lionel. It's certainly more meaningful (and lasting) than a Hallmark card. Richie also tattooed "Virgin" on her wrist and angel wings on her shoulder blades because tattoos are all about being really, really authentic.

10. Jermaine Dupri's tummy tattoo of ex Janet Jackson in Virgin Mary garb demonstrates his true awareness of Janet's desire to showcase a chaste yet tentatively exhibitionist persona. We can't quite make out whether his ink job features a subtle nipple ring, but that doesn't mean it isn't there.
9. In addition to being hackneyed, Pamela Anderson's barbed wire tattoo is pretty uncharacteristically masculine. Though it is an awesome, lifelong reminder of her best film everrrrr.
8. Ed Westwick's subtle, pink-bow-tied masculinity certainly inspired his tattoo of a pinup, helpfully captioned, "She's a pin-up." 'Cause only really manly dudes love pinups, so you should know he's totally manly because he has a pinup tattoo that says it's a pinup. *Snort*
7. Inked in honor of a UPC from one of her albums, Pink's barcode neck tattoo says something really special about valuing oneself. It also means she's a sweet fiery star of exploding angel dreams according to Aboriginal mythology. Ask anyone!
6. Uber-thug Lil Wayne's teardrop tattoos probably mark the brutal mass murder of many Carrie Underwood singles on the pop charts. Although looking just like an 8-year-old cartoon character from "The Boondocks" might also be a tad upsetting to Weezy.
5. Mickey Rourke's scales of justice chest tattoo is a true "birds of a feather flock together" kind of symbol. 'Cause if there's one thing the badass actor is known for, it's bringing law and order to the people.
4. Steve-O's artful "Yeah dude, I rock!" back tat is a physical sign of his teeming self-awareness. Besides, a man can never truly know himself until he's pierced his own butt cheeks together, then inked a self-congratulatory tattoo to permanently mark such a momentous occasion.
3. Lindsay Lohan's "la bella vita" tattoo clearly hails from a kinder, gentler, less erratic point in the tabloid star's life. Let's hope the waists on her new leggings line won't completely hide that inspirational message from the masses.
2. Proving to the world he's not just in it for her money, and gosh darnit, he's also no pansy David Silver, Dean McDermott tattooed wife Tori Spelling's likeness on his forearm (with the sensible inclusion of her boobies). His love is unconditional, and it doesn't require that she have shoulders.
1. Perhaps because explaining to the kids, "Daddy likes a little booze now and then," is slightly less awkward than, "Daddy used to be friends with a lady named Winona," Johnny Depp's "Wino Forever" tattoo, which he notoriously changed from its original incarnation of "Winona Forever," has a forever home in the book of celebrity tattoo infamy.
