15 designs by the tattoo artist who’s so bad she’s amazing

Most people choose their tattoo artist by the quality of their work, including their skill at actually drawing – if you don’t count the people who choose their tattoo artist because they are the first one they see after the seventh tequila. One tattoo artist, Helena Fernandes, has cornered a very niche market providing rudimentary tattoos with wonky designs and suspect proportions, but people flock to be inked by her.

These are some of her best – or worst, perhaps – tattoos.

1. Timon and Pumba

2. The approaching meteor

3. A scary crab

4. Spider-Man (ish)

5. Knackered Batman

6. A prism

7. A magic cat

8. Er …Freddie Mercury?
