By now you've seen the tattoo of Drake as Bart Simpson if your Internet game is even remotely strong. It is important to note that, like most great works of art, this brilliant tattoo is just the next in the long tradition of creative excellence in the field of Matt Groening inspired body art. Every Simpsons tattoo, from the erotic to the ridiculous, stands on the shoulders of those who drew Bart, Homer, and even Hans Moleman on people's asses before. From the most standard Bart tattoos to ink featuring the more obscure Springfield residents, as long as there has been the The Simpsons, people have thought it was a good idea to permanently place Simpsons characters on their body.

In the decades long history of The Simpsons there have been many ridiculous tattoos of our beloved yellow cartoon characters. Today, let's salute some of the greatest mistakes hardcore Springfield fans have ever made over the years. Here are The Most Ridiculous Simpsons Tattoos of All Time.

Ralph Wiggum Pikachu

I stared at this tatt as though it were an ancient riddle for some time, trying to decipher its meaning, trying to fathom why someone would get this monstrosity placed permanently on their body. And then it hit me and it was glorious.

We're all familiar with the catchphrase "Pikachu, I choose you."

And who could forget the Valentine that turned young Ralph Wiggum into a lovelorn obsessive?

It seems the person who got this tattoo is smarter than us all.

Bart Hogan

Finally, the greatest early '90s American saviors in one place. If only a little bit of Bill Clinton could have been worked into this tatt somehow ...

Milhouse Triumphant

Looks more like a "THRILLHOUSE" tattoo tbh. Points are docked for the obvious misspelling of "Milhouse," however. Guess everything isn't coming up Milhouse.

Brony Milhouse

This tattoo may seem apropos of nothing, but au contraire ye of little Simpsons faith. It turns out that there is strong evidence that Milhouse is a brony. According to the esteemed WikiSimpsons Millhouse was a brony before it was cool. It shouldn't surprise you one bit that a search for "Milhouse Brony" yields over a half-million results.

Ralph Wiggum-Lauren

This one is a lot less complicated than Ralph-achu.

Despite Ralph Lauren being a symbol of preppie chic and Ralph Wiggum being a symbol of low born idiocy, they are united by their first name.

Gangsta Moe

Self-proclaimed "Ric Flair of tattooing" Sloan Kettering offers up this rendition of Moe that looks like he's about ready to pop off a cap or two. And if that isn't ridiculously awesome enough, he's also done up a Regulatin' version of Apu Nahasapeemapetilon:

Die Bart, Die

Of all the obscure Simpsons references to get tattooed on yourself, this one is this most likely to make people think you're a murderer. And not just because the character who had the tattoo on the show was a murderer.
