From a droopy 'cookie monster' drawn by a heroin addict, to the incorrectly spelled word, 'literacy,' a new programme will showcase one of the biggest regrets in life, a meaningless tattoo.
America's Worst Tattoos features grammatically-incorrect mottos, ugly image misprints and unfortunate impulse decisions in a new, one-hour special.
The TLC programme, which premieres next Thursday, reveals the back story to each ill-fated tattoo, and the labour-intensive process of finally having them covered up with a transformation artist.
Ryan from Michigan wanted the motto 'Art is Literacy of the Heart,' tattooed on his lower stomach.
He explained, however that he was horrified when he learned 'Literacy' had been spelled with an 'e' instead of a 'c'.
 'I didn't realise myself, but my friend Carson said it was spelled wrong. I was like "You're kidding!" I got really upset, I was like, "I can't believe this is spelled wrong," I can not think of a worse word to be spelled wrong,' he said.

Another victim of a bad tattoo decision is David, who got 'Well Fed' placed on his stomach.
He explained: 'I overheard someone refer to their mother as 'well fed' at a party, I thought it was genius. So I got 'Well Fed' tattooed on my stomach.
'I loathe it. The 'Well Fed' is placed on my stomach like a cholo mustache - off to the side, nothing in the middle. So i got the post-it note [Put Food in me] in the middle to fill that space.'
'People gawk and laugh at it, it was a big mistake,' he said.
One girl, who made a decision to get a 'moon face' tattooed on her lower back while heavily under the influence of alcohol, received a misdrawn image that she now calls the 'cookie monster'.
She said sarcastically: 'I was intoxicated, so that made the situation ever better.
'She finished, and, oh my god, it's disgusting.'
She disturbingly added: 'Then I found out she was a heroin addict and apparently she wasn't high enough for me - they say when she's really high she does a really great job, so I must have caught her when she was, "eh".
NY INK’s tattoo artist Megan Massacre also appears on the show, transforming the unfortunate tattoos into 'masterpieces'.
'A lot of times when people want tattoos covered up, it reminds them of something they don't want to think about,' she said.
'So having to wear that on their body every day really brings them down as a person. I believe when we are able to cover the tattoo with something that is more positive, that they can look at and be happy about...it can really transform a person.'
