This tattoo artist has questionable drawing skills and fans are lining up to get one

We have some important news – tattoos are permanent. Shocking, right? But short of painful, costly laser removal surgery, that butterfly you got on your lower back during spring break in Cancún is going to be with you for the rest of your life. It’s precisely for that reason that making some informed choices regarding your tattoo is crucial. Firstly, you need a design; something timeless that won’t embarrass you in 10 years. Secondly, you need to pick a spot.
But the third thing you have to pick, which many disregard for some reason, is the tattoo artist. After all, the most beautifully planned out tattoo could easily go sideways if your artist isn’t up to snuff. Their work will be on you forever, so they just better have the experience and skill to pull off something amazing, right? Well, not if you ask the many fans of this Brazilian tattoo artist. She has experience, but skills? Not so much.

Helena Fernandes owns and operates the Malfeitona tattoo parlor in her hometown of Salvador de Bahia, Brazil. Malfeitona, in case you were wondering, means “poorly done” in Portoguese, so you can probably see where this is going.
Intentionally ugly tattoos

Indeed, Helena’s specialization is “tatuagens peba,” which translates literally to “trash tattoos.” What she lacks in skills or talent she more than makes up for in enthusiasm and creativity, as evidenced by her more than 87,000 followers on social media. Helena’s tattoos may not be beautiful, but they’re certainly one of a kind.
