Few bad tattoos go as far as this interesting interpretation of Charmander which was posted on Reddit by a user who reported that his friend was a little intoxicated when he decided to give himself a tattoo with no prior artistic experience.

Interestingly, the man’s new ink was inspired by this Tim Burton style drawing by Illustrator Hat Boy, posted on Tumblr. Too bad the actual tattoo falls more than a little short of Hat Boy’s creative rendition.
